Grr, no weight loss today so I'm disappointed, but I know I'm gaining muscle while exercising to lose the weight I have. It's an endless circle! Anyway, stats
OWLs - 15
NEWTs - 13
House Points - 45
Weight - 163
I have half term next week, it really can't come soon enough. So much work to do and really not enough time, so a week off will give me a chance to catch up. For those of you who don't have 'half term' (those of you in North America), it's just a week off of school/college/sixth form. Similar to Spring break, only ours is every 6 weeks with 1 week off in October, 2 or so weeks off for Christmas, a week off in February, 2 or so weeks off in April and a final week in May. Then comes Summer, which can start anytime between May and July depending on your school and your school year. I think this is very different to American school!0 -
Prefects here is the correct badge. Sorry for the mix up.
No problem it is fixed!!!0 -
You did post your weight already. Sorry for that mix up. I am not focused this week, which is not like me. :mad:ok, so in light of the clarification on newts for this challenge, I have to make a change. On Saturday, I earned 13, not 5 newts.
Sunday's stats
Owls 0
Newts 13
HP 80
I'm pretty sure I actually did post my weight, but here it is again. Still no weight loss as of Saturday keeping me at 142.2. Getting frustrated that the scale won't budge, but hoping for better this week.0 -
Sorry Guys. I have been absent for a few weeks. Crazyness has insued lately. But I am back. Could someone please MESSAGE me the challenges this week. Thanks.
Current weight 193.4 (yes I'm up, but that happens)
This definitely happens. I know I was up last week.0 -

Hey ladies,
So my super toned and hot friend invited me to go for a jog with her tonight. HA! I made it one mile then thought I was going to die. Running outside is much harder than running on the treadmill!
Today:
House Points: 30
Water: 4 Sodium: Under so....9 newts
Owls: 0-my legs are still burning from that pathetic run!
Have a good night huffles!

Hello Ladies. Last week was not the best for the Hufflepuffs but I am still so proud of the effort. Here is the chart.
The award for most pounds lost and the highest percentage of weight loss goes to Molly_Louise this week. Great job!
The MVP award this week goes to Jenn_W for having the most House Points. Great job!
***Also our numbers are getting a little low. Feel free to recruit some friends to join us!***0 -
Hello ladies. My name is Phil. I was recruited I love Harry Potter so hopefully this will be fun!0

Reporting in for yesterday I drank 5 glasses of water, stayed under for sodium, 60 jumping jacks and 20 min of exercise. I did go over my calories though ugh.
Today is a new day yet again though.... I am on glass number for of water, 20 jumping jacks in and it is only 10:30. I really will be pushing myself tonight to take my kids for a walk I think it will help them wind down too and get them some fresh air.0 -

So apparently I gained 1lb overnight last night so was greeted with 164 on my scales this morning. Not happy. Worked my butt off today to get it back down and it worked, but still sitting at 163.0 -
My starting weight is 200.6. I did 200 jumping jacks and drank 9 cups or water and I am under sodium (so far). I only have one friend so far so feel free to friend me. :flowerforyou:0

Hello ladies and gent (lol) Today was stressful. One of my kindergartners ran into a column in my classroom at full speed and busted his face open. He was pouring blood ... Turns out he broke his nose. Remind me to never play jump over the river when its raining again ugh. Anyway we decided to jumping jacks in my class after that so we could get the wiggles out.
OWLs: 20 (200 jumping jacks with my kiddos)
NEWTs: 18 (under sodium plus 13 cups of water)

Decent week. I'm usually not very good about sodium but so far I've only been over once this week. YAY!0 -
I did 150 jumping jacks 7 glasses of water. Over sodium :sad: I worked 55 min today. I did take mykids for a walk tonight it was great they went to bed with less of a fight. My son is a bit of a prince he made me carry him a bunch during it. But I figured more calories burned.
Confession: I am so fed up with my job. I am going to put my feelers out for some other jobs.0 -

It is harder, but I've found it more enjoyable too. I feel like I'm actually going somewhere and seeing something new every minute even if I am just going in a big circle
One suggestion if you ever do start wanting to run outside, set the incline on your treadmill to 1 or two (or use a runner propelled treadmill). It simulates the feeling of having to propel yourself rather than just keeping up with the treadmill. Do that for awhile and the change won't seem quite so drastic when you run outside.
Sorry I've been absent a couple of days. I'll pull my numbers together this evening and post again. Huge reading assignment for World Lit is almost done...then comes the next one...then the paper...AAAAAAAAAH!!!!! :noway:0 -

So so disappointed in myself that I've had yet another day without a weight loss. I've been so motivated this week to do a lot of exercise, but also so so busy with sixth form that I haven't had the chance to work out as much. Very disappointed but it could have been a lot worse! I hope you are all okay.0 -

Remember that you won't lose weight everyday, It is highly unusual to lose everyday. Most people fluctuate on a daily basis. If you can try to weigh in once a week. This will help you to keep your mind off it. The scale is not always our friend even when we are working hard. I used to be a daily weigher ...when I stopped I was able to focus more on my choices and I was happy to see the bigger number lost all at once. Good luck! :flowerforyou:0 -

Hi everyone, I would like to join your group. My daughter is part of the Hufflepuffs and has invited me to join you guys. I love MyFitnessPal and I love Harry Potter. I have slacked off and think this challenge may be just the thing to get me motivated again. It sounds like fun!0

Hi all.
I've had a really bad day today, awful in fact. I'm okay now, but just done a lot of thinking which probably hasn't done me any favours! I was previously working towards a loss of 1.5 - 2lb per week, which was working fantastically up until about 10 days ago. I feel like I've hit a brick wall since then, which is one of the reasons for my re-think. I wanted to be around 154lbs by November 23 (personal goal), and if I lose 1lb a week I'll be around 158, which is close enough! Obviously there's no reason I can't lose more than 1lb a week, I just want to make sure I'm being sensible with everything.
I weigh myself daily and I have felt like it's taking over my life which is not good at all, so I'm going to try weekly weigh outs. Because I was posting daily, I don't know what day(s) we have to have our weight posted by. Wednesday is going to be my weigh in day, but I can delay posting the results from my weigh in until a later day in the week if necessary. I believe weigh in days are Friday - Monday, which is why I said I can delay posting my results, but this will be my personal weigh in day.
So a bit of a confession there, the whole obsessing over my weight issue that is. I love what both MFP and the MFP community have allowed me to do, but I don't want it to control my life, which I have felt it's done for the past 10 or so days. Thank you all for your continued support though, I do appreciate all the comments; both positive and negative.
Onwards and upwards as they say, and here's my stats for 21/10.
OWLs - 30
NEWTs - 13
House Points - 30
I'm working all day tomorrow so hopefully I'll burn some cals then. Bring it on!0 -
I didn't do any jumping jacks last night. I had 7 glasses of water. Stayed under for sodium. 20 min of exercise. I am having a great friday. I am trying to figure out what to do with my kiddos tonight.0
