I like this idea. It might be interesting that I work with young offenders, like a probation officer for kids. I also trained in music when I was younger and can play violin, piano and classical guitar. I have a dog called Sheba, 2 gerbils, called sammy davis junior junior and chewy. I really like eating crisps and I love…

No problem with changing the scoring system - I wasn't sure on how to approach that. Owls - 0 Newts - 5 House points - 170

Oh yeah, sorry about that! My calorie goal is 1200 and I have read that it is not wise to eat under that amount but I guess If I do extra exercise perhaps it wouldn't be so harmful? I guess that would be "not eating back exercise calories". Anyway I'm normally over my calorie goal so this would be a challenge for me,…

Hello everyone, I've been up all night drinking and dancing for no other reason than I went to visit a friend I've not seen in ages and he served me tea all day, when I've been drinking decaff for about a year now so I'm just about getting tired at 6am :drinker: First of all, my stats for the whole week are: newts - 35…

BY THE WAY it's 1st October (in the UK anyway) - will you be getting new shoes?

erm, that looks like you're going to eat 3 whole cucumbers in one day and you're going to go around drinking warm water too? I agree with keiraev, although I appreciate that everyone is different. I don't think that you are mocking others on MFP for looking up eating plans but it may be a good idea to see what other people…

On the subject of the food challenge I find it really hard not to eat one (or sometimes two) packets of crisps (potato chips, although we get them in smaller packets here in the UK) each day so maybe something about resisting cravings? Not sure how it would be measured though because I'm sure we all have different vices!

Weighed in today at 129.8. This may sound strange but can your bone structure just change in your hips? I know it can if you have a baby but I haven't done any of that and I suspect that something's changed structurally. You see I have some teeny tiny jeans that used to fit me but now I just seem too wide for them. Of…

more numbers (totals for the week so far): newts - 30 owls - 50 house points - 281 I quite liked the challenge to eat at least 3 veggies daily - for a week there I was eating pretty well so I'd welcome another of those. I also like the water challenges like this week and the first one. So far no one has said if they'd be…

Instruction for the squirm can be found here about 1/3 down the page but for ease, i'm pasting the text below as well http://pfitzinger.com/cc.shtml THE SQUIRM TECHNIQUE Start in the basic crunch position with arms outstretched by your sides Raise the shoulders and upper back off the ground While holding this elevated…

Don't complain molly louise, it's been brilliant! I wouldn't be sorry if it never snowed again! my numbers for the week so far are: newts - 25 owls - 40 house points - 206 How does everyone feel about a dance-related challenge? I was thinking along the lines of earning owls for doing so many minutes of dancing of your own…

evening, so far this week my totals are: newts - 20 owls - 20 house points - 146 busy few days coming up so we'll see how much I manage to get exercising yay for being in the lead for the quiddich cup!

I have a dvd called hip hop body - it was a pound from a cheap shop but it is actually very good, it has a load of abs exercises which you do standing and waving your arms around. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Hip-Hop-Body-DVD/dp/B000VDQS7A/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1317116145&sr=8-1 Here he is on youtube…

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

I love those walk in press ups! yes, level two is at times harder than level 3 for me. But the more you do it the better you get at it so keep going :)

This week's numbers so far OWLs - 5 NEWTs - 10 House Points - 30

This week so far and it's weigh day too newts - 0 owls - 34 house points - 325 Oh, and I lost 0.2 pounds, which was probably just that I farted before I got on the scales or something but still, a loss is a loss! 131.8 now

most recent numbers: newts - 0 owls - 29 house points - 305 And my sw was 136, pcw 134 ccw 132

looks as though she has done a bunk - that's a shame. i'm happy for you to stand in lhurtubise :) newts - 0 owls - 27 house points - 228

hello, just checking in with my stats. lunges are great - good choice. newts - 0 owls - 25 house points - 145 **Edit** I'm afraid I won't get involved with the sodium thing. For one thing I don't know how you track that stuff or what the recommended amount is or anything. For another, it's pointless anyway because I am…

Thanks for this advice, I'll look into it. Totals for the fruity mountain climber week: Weigh in at the same weight. 4 newts 12 owls 111 house points

hahaha - yeah, the skipping rope... you'll lose that 2 pounds no problems :happy:

zero points for me today in all areas but I'll see what I can do over the weekend. i would like to work on my arms personally, although leg exercises are also good. i could do with strengthening the muscles in my ankles. does anyone have any advice? thanks :)

Also, do I get a NSV for managing to do the lunges with bicep curl exercise in 30DS without giving up before Gillian allows me to? I've been doing the DVD for some time now (on and off) and I've never managed it before today

1 newt, 3 owls and 20 house points for today, which makes: 4 newts, 7 owls and 91 house points total so far. Torchwood is on later so I may just get some crisps from the car as a special treat while I watch (they're in there so that it's more difficult to *accidentally* eat them all at once)

Tosay's stats: 71 house points, 1 newt and 4 owls. Sorry, can't remember yesterday's and it's getting a bit late so I'm hoping you'll be able to collect mine daily. Let me know if not though and I'll get a different system. Ta! Edit: just realised that I'd only racked up 2 newts so that's 3 newts, 4 owls and 71 house…

For today and yesterday...No exercise or mountain climbers (sorry) but I managed 2 portions of fruit today. Pretty lame but I would not normally eat ANY fruit so I feel quite chuffed that I managed grapes and an apple in one day. So that's 2 newts total for me.

evening :) my numbers for the week are: Weigh in: Stayed the same. Exercise Minutes: A measly 351 Exercise Challenge: 11 sets of man-style press ups. Food Challenge: 3 portions of green veg eaten 3 days, 3+ on 4 days. So, just so I can check I'm doing this right, does that mean that my stats are: OWLs: 11 NEWTs: 23 House…

haha - perhaps i will kick it's *kitten* but not today, been running around trying to cobble together a decent wedding outfit for tomorrow. finally got one though. it's good! yeah, i'm generally over my calorie goal and in the red in most of the catogries. I'm not very good at this eating sensibly lark! i must say i don't…

maybe do the weights every other day? that way they get to recover. I'm going to post my stats for the week on Sunday I think because it'll be easier for this week. Can post daily after that if you like or continue to do it weekly. Whatever, man :smokin: and yes, hufflepuffin, thanks for bearing with US - we are a bit of a…
