    Best of luck to everyone with the challenges that have been set this week. I'll be working extra hard this week on both challenges as I wasn't able to put in 100% last week and I feel I let the team down, so I'll be putting in the hard work this week!
  • Forgot to say, I've dropped a dress size! Woo!

    Ok Hufflepuff's I must say I am so incredibly proud of you it is ridiculous! We had an amazing team effort this week. In addition to the weekly chart I will also be awarding 3 weekly awards. I had no intentions of doing this before, but once I looked at the amazing results this week I knew I had to do something to reward all of the hard work. I really appreciate the effort put in for our team!

    First of all the chart ...

    The first award that I was inspired to give out is the MVP award. This week that award goes to Bumflapassassin for her unbelievable contribution to the team's house points and to her amazing effort with the exercise challenge. She earned 115 OWLs and 1,003 House Points for our team! I think she is definitely worthy of the MVP award! Thank you for the inspiration to even give out awards! I made you a little award ... It's not much. Please use it in your signature if you want if not no worries.

    The code for your award if you want it in your signature is Bumflaweek3-1.png You need to change the uppercase IMG to a lowercase img in order for it to work.

    The second award is for the most pounds lost this week. Congratulations to Danizaga for loosing an amazing 5lbs this week! Your dedication and hard work are really paying off! You have definitely inspired me to make sure I make great food choices and exercise so I can continue to see the results. Here is your award ...

    The third and final award is for the highest percentage of weight loss this week. This award goes to Molly_Louise! The closer you are to goal weight the harder it is to drop those big numbers, but the percentage loss is just as big as the pounds loss. I am so proud of you dropping a dress size and loosing the highest percentage of weight this week. These are amazing accomplishments that you should really be proud of! Here is your award ...

    Congratulations to all of the award winners this week! We are all winners because we stuck with this journey to a healthier lifestyle.

    * Also in the contest for Prefects in October the competition will end Wednesday the 28th. All of your OWLs and NEWTs will go towards the next month's selection. Please post your current OWLs and NEWTs for this week by the end of Wednesday. Thank you so much!

    I worked out for 30 min today (burned 224 calories on the elliptical! yay!) AND drank all my water!

    and I've been trying to figure out how to view all the totals for my last week to see if I was under my sodium, since I know they show you that when you hit "complete entry" on the app, but trying to find all of that information afterwards is really hard?

    I am not sure about this, but if you get on the website it's very easy to click the calender under track food and look at your previous days.

    Try doing a nutrition report. It doesn't tell you the goal, but it will give you a day by day comparison. Not sure if that's what you're looking for, but thought I'd mention it.

    Planned on running tonight after class when a friend called asking if I wanted to go to Starbuck. I agreed, but then he agreed to go walking with me so I worked out for 60 minutes (4 miles an hour is fast for my short little legs!) and drank 10 cups of water.

    Thank you for this :) it's given me a boost. I had a really crud day yesterday and I should be at work right now but was feeling too lethargic to get up and do what I'm paid for...Suppose I'd best get in the shower if I want today to be better than yesterday! thanks again for the award! nx

  • Ihurtubise, thank you so much for the congratulations, praise and award for my efforts this week. I was really happy with what I managed to achieve, especially as I was so ill last week and I wasn't able to exercise much.

    It's almost 4pm here so the day is slowly drawing to a close and I'll post today's results later on this evening.

    Can someone just clarify, is is 5 NEWTs for 30+ minutes of exercise, or 5 NEWTs for each 'set' of 30 minutes? Eg. Regardless of how exercise you do (obviously at least 30 minutes) is 5 NEWTs, or is 60 minutes is 10 NEWTs, 90 minutes 15 NEWTs and so on.

    You get 5 OWLs for every 30 minutes of exercise that you do. You get 5 NEWTs if you drink at least 8 glasses of water per day. You can earn a maximum of 5 NEWTs per day, but the OWLs earning potential is unlimited. Every 30 minutes you do will earn you 5 OWLs!

    Hello Hufflepuffs! I just wanted to let you all know we are in the lead for the House Cup and this week's Quidditch (spelling?) match! Keep up the great work ladies. Let's finish September strong and show our fellow Hogwartians what we can do as a team!
  • Queeda, thanks for clarifying the OWLs question!

    27/9

    OWLs - 15
    NEWTs - 5
    House Points - 90
    Weight - 167

    Tomorrow is my day off and I can't wait! I'm so excited about getting to sleep in but not excited about the amount of school work I have to do. No rest for the wicked!
  • Can't edit my above post but please record my house points as 110 rather than 90, as I have exercised since typing out that post but I'm unable to edit it now.

  • I love the idea of the awards-how fun! Looks like everyone is having a great week! I am feeling inspired and am off to the gym!!!

    Today was measurement day. I get measured once a month. I am very disappointed with this month's measurements. I didn't loose any inches this month :mad: . Last month I lost 13.5 inches which is a lot for me so i guess that's why. I know I am bloated and retaining water so hopefully next month will be better. I still lost 9.5lbs last month and I reduced my BMI and Body Fat% so I will definitely celebrate that. It has been a rough restart after my surgery. I need to focus on my food choices and getting back into strength training so that I can look and be more toned.

    Been off grid... Didn't track on here over the past couple days but I know my stats...

    9/25 - 35 mins & all my water
    9/26 - 62 mins & all my water

    **Stupid rain here in Chicago is killing my bike riding to work (plus the extra 60-80 min workout I get from it)! Rain Rain Go AWAY!!

    Congrats to all the AWARD Winners!!

    I'm exhausted as I always am at the end of Tuesday and Thursday. Plus I tripped on uneven sidewalk in the dark while running and my leg got a bit scraped up and stings :grumble: I am so writing a letter to the city to complain about that since it's an area that is extremely popular for walkers and runners. Uneven sidewalk and no lights is a very bad combination now that it's starting to get dark earlier. On the plus side, I got almost all my serves in at tennis class today, something I really struggle with. Didn't win tonight, but had some really good games and getting my serves in counts for a lot with me!

    Stats for today. Reached my water early...more than 10 cups today, and 170 minutes of excercise. Tomorrow is my rest day so I'll probably just go for a brisk walk for my workout. The dogs will love it :smile:

  • I have reached my workout every day this week plus my water. I am at 117 minutes for working out. I am going to try to do even better for the rest of the week. Hope everyone has a great hump day tomorrow.

    today i got my HRM in the mail and i have to say MFP has been overestimating my calories burned but it doesn't matter i just need to work harder. here are my stats:

    Monday
    Newts 5
    Owls 0
    House points 0

    Tuesday
    Newts 5
    Owls 20 (124/30 = 4 x5 = 20)
    House points 124

    great work everyone!
  • Good afternoon all!

    Exercise will be minimal from me today. I'm stuck in doing so much work - I really shouldn't have left it until the last minute. I never learn! I've done 30 mins already, I'll try and do another 30 but no promises.

    Am I right in saying the exercise minutes challenge is our inter-house challenge and runs until October 3? If so, once this challenge is complete, will we have a new challenge and 'wipe the slate clean' as far as results go and then start gathering results etc for the new challenge(s)? This probably makes no sense to anyone but me :laugh:
