Haha sorry didn't explain that very well did I?!

Go to the spreadsheet, and enter your current weight in column m, Jan 30 weight. You can do this any day this weekend, until Monday. Also post your goal weight for February in a comment on this thread.

Then, next week, go to the spreadsheet on the same day (so if you enter info on Sunday this week, make sure you do Sunday next week as well). This time, you should enter:
1. Your weight.
2. How many OWLS you have. Owls are earned by completing the challenges, you can find these on my post at the bottom of the previous page in this thread.
3. Your housepoints. This is how many minutes of exercise you have done this week.

You then do this every week. we are in competition with the other houses for highest weight-loss and highest number of house points (exercise minutes).

Hope that explains it! Me and kellyisfat are Head's of House, contact one of us if you need anymore info X

good morning Ravenclaw and happy sunday!! hoping (again) to get back on track with the start of a new week. every time i think i am back on the wagon, something else pops up to distract me, so here i go again!! i didn't get weighed this morning. I'm afraid that the number will put me in a mental downward tailspin, so i'm going to wait until next week. in the meantime here are my other stats for the week.
OWLS 6
*checkin -4
*under on carbs -1
*core -1
HP -80

i think i will keep my previous goal of 170 as my end of february goal...maybe one of these months i'll actually make it!!

Oh and no loss as of this morning but I'm going to weigh in tomorrow too. But I also didn't gain anything so woohoo! My official day is Monday anyway since that's the start of my week.

Good morning!!

I've got a song in my head this morning - tune of "I know what boys like" --

I lost a decade!
I'm in the 260's!
I lost a decade! decade!
Go, go me!

lol! Yeah I'll never be songwriter of the year, but I had such a 'bad' weekend (three meals at a conference - not a veggie in sight there, ugh!) that I am VERY excited to be showing a loss right now! Especially a decade-breaker!


I forgot to go find last week's challenges, sorry ladies...I meant to, but then forgot about them until I caught up on posts today and saw people commenting on them. Going to do the spreadsheet now, are this coming week's up now?

Have a great week!

Logged in on the spreadsheet this morning at 154.5. My goal for February is 149 and exercise 150 minutes for the week (30 minutes X 5 days).

I'm working towards my March 17-24 vacation to Florida being at 145.

Whatseatingyo - down 10 - that's great!!

Lottee1000 - Great job on hitting your Jan goal.

Aw, I'm so excited to see so many posts on here! Glad to have you all with us!

And congrats to everyone for your losses! It sounds like we're ending January very strong! :happy:

I'm keeping a list of our goal weights so that we can update that as soon as the sheet has been updated. It'll stay January until at least Tuesday night, then we'll probably get it switched to our February information on Wed or Thursday.

Awesome idea with setting a goal for yourself on the HPs as well as your weight loss, Terri. Sounds like a great plan, and congrats to WhatsEatingYou for dropping down into another decade! Love those milestones!

I'm back from my weekend retreat. I had a fantastic time. Now back to the regular daily activities.

This weekend I completely went overboard, like a kid away from home for the first time. Not nearly enough water. I ate candy, chocolate, ice cream, big portions, a couple beers. Not exactly binging, but in no way was I under calories. I did get plenty of sleep, a couple massages, and I felt great. It was a good reminder of how it is so easy to let the weight slip back on.

Memorable quote for the weekend: Chocolate is an art supply.

I'm craving my routine now, particularly my MiraLAX. :ohwell:

Hi, Ravenclaws!

Last week I lost 1 lb (maybe...the scale was acting a bit off), but assuming its correct, not only did I make my -5 lb monthly goal, I BEAT it by 1.2 lbs, making it a total loss of 6.2:glasses: no OWLS this week, though...:ohwell: 197 house points, though!

Love you all, and DON'T LET ANYTHING GET IN YOUR WAY! Remember why we are Ravenclaws--we can outsmart anything that gets in our way :flowerforyou:

good morning Ravenclaw, happy tuesday!! i've been out of sorts recently-husband in hospital, i've been nursing an ankle injury, and sick on top of it all. every morning i get up saying to myself "this is the day i get back on track". well, today IS THE DAY!!! completed my log and was under yesterday for the first time in quite awhile.

to our newest housemates terri and missklara-welcome to the best house ever!! on the days when i haven't felt like sharing, i still check in to see what everyone is up too. nice to see so much acitvity again!!

bethany and sami-people can be mean and hurtful...period!! it's hard to let it go, but we need to put ourselves first and have confidence in what we are doing. they don't matter!!! meaness need to be given the attention it deserves...NONE!!! you are both doing great and as long as you know it, nothing else matters!! bethany, hope the joints a feeling better soon and you can get back to your workouts!!

sue be sure you are taking care of yourself with your busy schedule!!

gwen-welcome back. glad you had some good relaxation!!

ashley-you are so right-don't let it get to you!! sometimes it takes a little while of being in the routine to see results. don't forget your water!!

to everyone showing losses this week, CONGRATS!!! hope to be joining your ranks next week!!

hoping to get some sort of exercise in today, even if it's a short walk after work, it's supposed to be a nice day here today-maybe some fresh air!!

hope everyone has a great day, and thanks for still being here for me. :flowerforyou:

Hi Rose and welcome.

Ok - got to the gym this morning at work and then drove home to work from home :laugh: . Partners car is in the shop so I have to be home to drive her and the kids around. But I didn't want to miss my gym time. 40 minutes cardio but I skipped weights just for today.

Shooting to lose 5 in February.

good day yesterday, working on a repeat today.

Awesome job this week everyone! I wish I had time to comment individually, but I'm rushing a bit this morning.

Numbers are being reported tonight, so if you have any pieces of information that need to be filled in, let me know.

Mostly we're just missing some house point entries. Missklara and tboothgenthe, if you happen to know how many exercise minutes you had last week, let me know. We'll get those entered. Otherwise, we have to update it as a 0, so I just wanted to check before we finalize everything.

Have a great Tuesday, everyone!

Yay it's Wednesday! Wait, what?? It's TUESDAY??? GAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!

I was interested in getting one of those Fitbit things. I know someone on here has it. Is it worth the dough? What exactly does it tell you?

Yesterday I got to go home 2 hours early, so instead of an 11-hour day I had a 9-hr day. Progress! If it keeps up, I'll be able to hit a zumba class on Wednesday night. Woot!
