    Paula, OKAY!!! I put in my application just now. I want to be on the same team with you, Shelley, Karen and Kathy (if she plays with us). Can you make sure that happens with Neon_Vampire? I don't want to be alone. :'(

    This looks absolutely amazing. I hope I can join in January!

    I am 35, I had a baby two years ago and have not lost the weight. I have several injuries that have made it more challenging. But I am finally physical therapy and am ready to take the plunge. IRL I am a geologist (mineralogy is a lot like potions - honestly!), and I am 100% Ravenclaw, but I love and support all houses!

    Hi Higgins!

    It's so exciting to see a geologist here! I collect/adore rocks (esp. crystals) and would love to gush about it with another fan if you are into that. Totally magic!!! <3

    Did you fill out the application link above? It's early so you'd probably get in. This is a great challenge!!!

    Welcome!

    If you love Harry Potter and need some “healthy” encouragement to work on your fitness/nutrition, etc goals this is the challenge for you!

    It has been some time, but I have submitted my application :) Hopefully see everyone once again Hogwarts!

    Back to witches and wizards and magical beasts, to goblins and ghosts and to magical feasts, it's all that I love and it's all that I need, at Hogwarts, Hogwarts!

    I’ve been away from Hogwarts for quite some time, but I’m hopeful I will be accepted to return!

    I love this so much and I’m up to the challenge, but I’m staying off the scale this month for the sake of my sanity. May I still join? If so, I’ll submit my application pronto. (If the answer is no, no worries.) Brilliant idea for a challenge, though—kudos to whoever came up with it.

    Generally students are supposed to have a weekly weigh-in in the Hospital Wing, but if you contact a staff member and send an excuse before the deadline, this is okay. Especially if it is only in January and not the entire term. So feel free to send your application!

    Thank you! I gave it some more thought and have decided to play by the rules and weigh myself weekly, as required (and not create more work for staff members). I do appreciate your flexibility!

    I expect you'll have a great term! And, it is a challenge, so I expect you'll see those numbers go the way you want them to. Welcome!
