Thanks for calling out my dyslexia bravo. How about you take care of this group as well...

That was 110% NOT my intent. I was confused as to how people would earn a perfect score since some things are open ended.

It's your choice to leave, but I was only trying to help. I didn't expect you or anyone else to just come in and know everything. I'm sincerely sorry.

There is no need to be so crappy, it was an honest mistake on Bron's part. Plus we haven't even discussed who exactly will be taking over this group, you took it upon yourself to do so, so there is no need to act like this.

I do work better in a more active group, but surely we should talk about it openly? I feel bad for MacSkillz, esp if she's having a tough time, so I'm not about asking her to stand down unless she wants to, but we do need to put temporary measures in place and we are all adults, let's talk about it. With the spreadsheet, it will make it all easier going forward, especially if we lay out the challenges a month in advance and also if challenges are shared between houses, like a resource? If it's too much for one person to commit to do, let's definitely get three / four people to help take charge / send over stats to Bron?

Bron, I think with the group being a bit wishy washy not everyone has checked in every week (myself included) so yes, Slytherin may take a hit on the stats this month, but a new month starts on Sunday, can we get everything sorted out for then, maybe we can post in the main forums / our walls, to see if we can drum up some more active members?

I'm going to stop now, as I'm beginning to sound like Hermione.... ;o)

Actually, Lesley informed me yesterday that she is stepping down as Head, but would like to try to stay active in the group as a participant. I don't want her to be involved in the leadership until she's ready. I was going to post about it later today!

Poorcopies, thank you for offering! I want every house to at LEAST have a Head and a Deputy Head from here on out, so that is a marvelous idea. I'm going to post again in the hopes of drawing more people, too.

There's been so much confusion, I'm not even going to worry about March except what's already there. We'll start fresh with some new tools in April and hope for the best

If she wants to step down that's fine, let's crack on, I'd just hate for anyone to feel forced out! Like I said, I'm willing to help out, but at the same time, I am the first to say life can get hectic with my job etc, so rather than let people down, I'm being up front and saying I'd be up for helping alongside one or two others, so it's less pressure on us all and amongst ourselves we can sort out who will submit you the figures etc.

I think starting afresh for April sounds good!

So at most, you can commit to a Deputy Head. That's a good start!

i am wanting to join slytherin however i dont know who to send a message to?? this is kinda new to me

Slytherin doesn't have an official Head of House at the moment, but we're working on it! Just hang tight, and keep your eye on the group. We're reorganizing a bunch and things will become clear before next week

okay no problem.thanks for the heads up

Would also like to join Slytherin or whichever house needs members to even things up really.

You're in the right House for evening things up, and if you PREFER to be here, all the better!

I want to be in slytherin!
but i am confused about how to complete challenges, earn points etc.

You're about to roll to a new thread, so I'm not going to fuss with a new one.

Hello all new Slytherins!

As you are all new, here is now the challenge works. It might sound a bit confusing at first, but once you get the hang of it, it's pretty easy to go with!

Each month, we compete for the House Points (linked to every minute of exercise we complete, 1 min = 1 house point). The house with the most house points wins the House Cup. This is calculated on an average so houses with lower numbers don't lose out.

We also try to win the Quidditch Match each month also. The Quidditch Match is linked to our percentage of weigh loss, so the better we do collectively, the more chance we have of winning! Despite being one of the smaller houses in terms of members, historically we've done really well in the past.

You can pick whatever day you want to weigh in that works for you, generally most people do it here between Friday - Monday. We need you to post by Tuesday, preferably by the end of Monday, to be counted to the week's figures. If you miss a week, that's ok, but you won't be counted again until 2 weeks later, to keep the averages fair.

These results are posted in the great hall each week.

To keep us on track each week, we have challenges where we can gain OWL's (exercise related) or NEWT's (food related). We encourage you to join in, but don't beat yourself up if a particular week doesn't suit you or is too hard / doesn't relate to your goal. The person with the most OWLs / NEWTs each week becomes a prefect. You know you want to be the house Draco / Pansy, so make sure you get involved!

This was a very brief breakdown, but I urge you to read the details about inter house challenges in detail below:

http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/bronwenhilary/view/hogwarts-inter-house-challenge-143613


So in short, each week you need to log:

Your weight
Your minutes of exercise
OWLs / NEWTs gained.

And please feel free to friend me if you want to ask anything else, I think I've got it all down? (Bron, please correct me if I've got anything wrong!)

I will get challenges up for the next few weeks shortly!

Hi. New here. I wanted to join Slytherin as well. I'm not sure about what to do or what is going on--I'm completely lost but will stay tuned.

Poorcopies- those challenges look great!

I have the spreadsheets NEARLY ready, but I'm going to have to finish them up first thing in the morning. If you check in on Fridays, post your numbers in the temporary spreadsheet that's already up and I'll let you guys know when it's finished.

If you already copied your March Week 4 weight over to April, please replace it with your weigh in from this weekend! Use the green column in April and we'll transfer your weights to the new spreadsheet! We're starting fresh this month!

This week will be our starting weight for April. There won't be any results posted this week. You should not have any OWLs or NEWTs counting towards April from last week posted this week. After weigh in NEXT week, we'll have our Week 1 Results!

Good luck to you all going in to April!

Hey, I'm new to Slytherin. I've been reading through the inter-house rules, but I'm still kind of confused. Do we post our stats on Sunday? And if so, is the link to the spreadsheet (from http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/543452-check-in-spreadsheet-info) still valid? I had a look at the OWL and NEWT challenges for April, and I agree that they look great! I've bookmarked the page so I can look back on it.
Basically, are we posting our weight change (percentage loss or pounds...?), total OWLs and NEWTs as a total for seven-days worth of diet and exercise before Tuesday each week? In this forum thread? Also, I noticed that there is a column for SPEWs??

ok i think i get most of it but i just have one question.

ok it has to do with the week 1 exercises. it lists 5 exercises and doing 20 of each of them. so if i do all 5 exercises i receive 2 points for each? for a total of 10 points or is it 2 points for doing all 5. sorry i just wanted to make sure. thank you in advance

Okay, I've input my weight in the spreadsheet in the tab that was specified. I'm going to post my daily OWLs, NEWTs and House Points totals on this forum, since only the HoH is allowed to add these to the table?
Also, since we don't have so many people I volunteer to help out with the HoH duties if that's still an issue. Perhaps we could alternate weeks or something?
