    You can totally keep posting your weights in kilograms if you like, sweetie! I just calculate percentage lost, so it makes no difference :)

    Nevermind. Please do post in pounds if you don't mind!

    Not a problem, i dont mind doing a quick conversion :)

    CW: 160.6 (down 1.3 lb yay!)
    GW: GW: 158.4 lb by Oct 1st

    OWLS: sadly 0 - so sorry i didn't even get to watch the video, let alone do the exercise this week. Just started a new business after my day job so my focus wasn't on Griffindor...sorry team mates!
    NEWTS: it was meal planning right? well I planned at least 4 meals in advance this week, so thats 20 :)

    Hello fellow Gryffinidors! Just wanted to appologize for being MIA the past 2 weeks. I had an epic battle with a black widown infestation in my house. I got bit 3 times and turns out I'm severely allergic and had to spend some time in a muggle hospital. Where's madam Pomfrey when you need her. But, I'm feeling better and adjusting to my new spidey senses and ready to get back to being a productive and contributing Gryffindor.

    Can anyone give me a link to add a gryffindor crest? I am so lame. I followed the directions exaclty, I thought. I downloaded 2 pics to my computer, then added them to facebook. I copied the URL and added to my signature line changing the IMG to img. I am not sure what I did wrong. The only thing I can think of is that I didn't actually post it on my page, just in my profile pics. Do I actually need to put in on my wall? Any other ideas about what I might be doing wrong?

    When I added the prefect badge from the link it worked like a charm (pun intended).

    When I add pics to facebook, I have to right click on the picture, and click Copy Image URL. Try using that URL instead of the one when you first click the picture, because the new picture viewer facebook uses doesn't work the same as just clicking on a picture. Does that make sense?

    I GOT SORTED INTO GRYFFINDOR!!!!! Yay! FINALLY got my invitation, I'm so annoyed I didn't get it until now, but I guess they've been having issues on the site because of all the activity. But at least I got into Gryffindor! That is so cool. And I'm happy with my wand, as well. That's as far as I got, attempted a practice potion, but it was taking too long and I had studying to do.

    That's fantastic!!! I didn't fuss too much about my wand, because those are replaceable. You only get sorted once :) The potions do take a long time, but it's so fun. Did you like how you go through the story?

    I just found this on facebook and while I never copy and paste all that crap, this one I couldn't resist. I am really ROFLMBO!!:laugh:

    I had to share with my fellow Gryffs.

    The Girl you just called a Mudblood? She spends hours practicing spells hoping people will like her. The boy you just stupefied? His parents use the Cruciatus Curse on him regularly. That kid you just pushed? He is trying to use the killing curse on himself. That guy you just made fun of for crying? His mother was killed by a Death Eater. Put this on your status for an hour, if you are against Bullying in the Wizarding World. You never know what it's like until you fly a mile on their broom.

    This is hilarious! I love satire-y things like this. Haha!

    It is driving me nuts that I entered my email into Pottermore a while ago and I have not gotten my invitation!. I am getting very sad about it too. Are they supposed to take this long.

    Did you play the hidden quill game or just enter your email to be notified when Pottermore is open? I got in on the second day of the hidden quill and it still took forever to get in. They're working out the kinks, I guess :(

    End of the Month Healthy Sushi - 225 calories

    1 sheet Nori seaweed
    1/2 cup cooked and chilled brown rice
    25g sliced avocado
    30g canned tuna (use fresh tuna around pay day)
    thinly sliced cucumber

    Lay the Nori on a bamboo mat and spread the rice around half the sheet and squish it flat. Arrange the tuna, avo and cucumber in a row across the rice and roll the seaweed around it all as tightly as possible. Slice into 6 pieces and enjoy with soy sauce and wasabi. Easy on the wallet and the calories

    If you like creamy delicious treats, this recipe is AWESOME! I also made a crab rangoon version of this with crab meat and a little soy sauce in the filling instead of tuna.



    Tuna Melt Bites PER SERVING (1/3rd of recipe, 5 pieces): 143 calories, 5g fat, 452mg sodium, 11g carbs, 0g fiber, 1g sugars, 14g protein -- PointsPlus™ value 4*

    Ingredients:

    3 wedges The Laughing Cow Light Creamy Swiss cheese
    One 5-oz. can albacore tuna in water, drained and flaked
    Spices: salt, black pepper

    Directions:
    Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

    Place shells on a baking sheet sprayed lightly with nonstick spray. Bake in the oven until shells are golden brown, about 5 minutes. Set aside to cool.

    Evenly distribute the cheesy-tuna mixture among the baked shells, about half a tablespoon per shell.
