Any November month-end results yet??

I still haven't heard from Slytherin.

Alright, we're getting back on track! Here are our November Week 4 and November total results:



Congrats to everyone on their hard work! Most of us slid back a little over Thanksgiving, but that just means we had lots of good food and fun with loved ones

Hufflepuff wins the House Cup, Slytherin wins the Quidditch Cup, and in a surprising turn of events Troy67 of Slytherin is named Head Boy with 4428 House Points earned this month!

Unfortunately, I can't give you badges because I'm still working on an alternative to our old ones (I'm planning to have that figured out before we start January, so bear with me!), but here are the links to the images. You can use them as avatars for now if you want. Just right click, and save as!

You guys are so awesome. Thanks for all your hard work! You all make MFP Hogwarts kick *kitten*!

****ANNOUNCEMENT!****
Also, Christmas is coming up at the end of this month. The way our challenges are set up, we'll finish our four weeks of December Christmas weekend (final day for check-ins being 12/26/11). The week between Christmas and New Years will be a vacation!

I repeat, from after check-in between 12/23/11 and 12/26/11 til before check-in between 12/30/11 and 1/2/12, THERE WILL BE NO WEIGH IN OR HOUSE POINTS!

You will check-in for the end of December between 12/23/11 and 12/26/11, then check in for the start of January (weight only, no House Points will be counted for the week after Christmas!) between 12/30/11 and 1/2/12.

Any questions, please ask!

Yay Hufflepuffs! Great job everyone. What an awesome competition.

I want to share my Christmas tree with my fellow Hogwartians! I painted the ornaments last year and I was so excited to get them out again this year! The glare makes some of them hard to see, but the blue ones have Hogwarts, A History on them, the silver ones have a wand and some magic coming out of it, the red ones have a snitch and the yellow ones have a dirigible plum! I didn't make any green ones because I don't like green ornaments on a green tree, but slytherin has their silver represented

Even if you don't celebrate Christmas, I hope you enjoy sharing my geeky tree with me:



I'm going to take a close up of each one so you can really see them. Stand by!

Here's the close ups!

OMG!! BEST IDEA EVER!!

I may totally copy your tree Idea, Bron!!!

I think I am just as geeky!!! Love, love, LOVE it!!

Hello! I posted new progress pics today ... Just wanted to share the link if anyone is interested or looking for motivation. I am so proud of myself :happy: Fair warning though I am in my underwear. I know that offends some people.

I just want to say how thankful I am to all of you for being so patient with me as I deal with losing my Dad to lung cancer and the stress we all deal with around the holidays. I'm filled with new motivation to kick our Hogwarts (and myself!) back into high gear. I'm majorly proud of all of you that pushed through the last month despite family dinners and general frivolity! You inspire and encourage me just by being here.

December results are coming as soon as I bear back from Slytherin and Hufflepuff! Forgive me for just posting the final scores to save time. By the end of this week (just in time for January Week 1 results) I'll have our new badge and cup pics updated in the rules blog. Also keep your eyes peeled for a new Head of Ravenclaw soon. Don't forget to check in by the end of Monday, because this is your starting weight for January!

Our shiny new badges and cups are updated here in the Rules blog (links near the bottom): http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/bronwenhilary/view/hogwarts-inter-house-challenge-143613

There are two versions. One set is called Avatar Badges and it's exactly the size of your profile picture thumbnail. The other set is called Ticker Badges and they are exactly the size of your ticker picture. When you earn awards, you can put the same one in one place or the other, both places, or you can mix and match if you have more than one award at a time. Your choice

You click the link, then right click and save however you prefer to use them.

Here's an example of each:

I hope you like them!

Hey Bron, I am sorry to hear about your dad. As far as MFP Hogwards goes I think all of the heads of houses do really well to make it work for the rest of us. x

Thanks so much. That means a lot!

If you're lucky enough to be a part of Pottermore Beta, and haven't been on for awhile, you should go check it out again! Dueling is up and super fun, and the potion brewing doesn't take as long so it's a bit more fun.

I'm excited

Hope everyone does well on their weigh-ins this weekend!

Any news on who's in the lead so far this month?

I didn't get it done before I came home for the weeknd. I plan to get them up later tonight. Sorry for the delays, everyone!

Hey Folks!

Thought I'd pop in here and say my hellos. I'm new to "Hogwarts" and have joined up with Hufflepuff.

My main form of exercise is running. At present, I'm training for a Spring race that is an odd distance - 20 miles. Then, in the Fall, I plan to do my 4th marathon! Aside from running, I like to do some core work now and then, occasional yoga, and when it's nice out, I bike to work.

I've always been under weight, so I log food and exercise with the intent of putting pounds ON. It's my goal to gain 10-20 pounds.

Looking forward to getting to know you all better!
