i too am addicted, its near become a reflex whenever im in the bathroom :laugh: its not that i obsess over the number, its just curiousity really. im interested in what causes my weight to fluctuate over time and it means i can find out what causes really large jumps. this whole journey involves me learning about my own…

Katrob - thats amazing!! your goal weight in the chart is 205, and you are 1 pound away from that already!! :drinker: im not expecting miracles for tomorrow. i havent eaten well all week, except perhaps today. :tongue: im trying to do some damage control and drinking alot of water right now. ive had 6 pint glasses and two…

i am FINALLY making a dinner, like an actual new recipe, kinda, for this challenge! im using some low fat chicken breasts, medium egg noodles and Sharwoods szechuan sweet chilli sauce. i did want some mini naans bread to go with, but i couldnt get any. i know its not fancy by any means, but im not a good cook (my dad is…

i think it is alot harder to notice differences in ourselves because we see ourselves in the mirror everyday. its like looking back at pictures of yourself really young, yes you've grown and gotten older and taller but the process was so gradual you didnt really notice it until photo comparison made is so obvious!…

i dont actually live there, im in northern ireland (usually pretty crappy, but the weathers been good lately!), but i was called over to the Uni of Dundee for a midwifery interview last March. it was lovely and sunny that day and the scenery was nice along the water when the train was coming in to Dundee. :flowerforyou:

wheelieblade - dont worry, you havent let us down at all. we all have our bad weeks. simply by caring about whether you did is enough! hope we see you on sunday and hope you feel better :flowerforyou: PDeSeure - sodium is a problem for me too, i dont monitor it as much as i do calories and fat content, but i know i should.…

Monocot, what would you like your challenge goal weight to be? if you didnt mention it before (cant remember, sorry!!) , then it was me who put in 215. for any goals i didnt have at the time i just subtracted 10. it can be changed easily so no worries! as for meee, food has not been particularly good this week. i was in a…

cgeiser - the winner was Gryffindor for a bit there, but apparantly that was due to a typing error! currently its between us and Slytherin. they have 0.92 and we have 0.927, so its all down to whatever their 3rd digit is! oh, i found this online, could NOT stop laughing... gotta love Harry Potter and Mean Girls :laugh:…

Hufflepuff is now at 0.92737 ....:tongue: does that mean we beat you Slytherin?? :drinker:

:drinker: TOTAL % LOST = 0.927 we are still missing 5. the % above is using the starting weights of only those who did weigh in, but it also doesnt take any gains into account, because the net sum has those gains actually taken away from it. any gains have been counted as a 0 loss. the chart shows a total loss of 59.5, but…

Hufflepuff is still waiting on 6 member weighins, but using the SW weights of only those who have, our loss is 0.95% !!

dont worry Nita, i didnt get my 8 in every day either!

WEEKLY CHALLENGES: Food Challenge: Try at least three new recipes this week. Exercise Challenge: Try to get outside and do some kind of exercise for at least 20 minutes at least 5 days this week.

we have lost 47.4 lbs so far in 1 week and to put that into perspective, here's a fun fact: the exit door on a Boeing 737-300 weighs 47 pounds, and think how big those planes are! amazing everyone. and to those feeling discouraged with no loss, remember, the number on the scale is not the most important thing. whatever…

8/5: 213.6 (-2.4) everyone is doing SO well! collectively we've lost 33.3 lbs so far, and we've only got the stats for 12 of our 39 members, so that number is gonna keep on rising as the day goes on. well done everyone :flowerforyou:

im looking forward to mondays weigh in for a change :tongue: ive been eating better all this week, getting my water in and atleast 30 mins exercise each day. the scale has reacted in kind :happy:

i got your message, darthwein. thank you for checking in with your weight this week, you are officially the first. :tongue: just so its clear everyone, weigh in here tomorrow for the challenge! all you need to post is your weight, microsoft excel can work out the rest :smile:

i made my exercise today, a 50 minute brisk walk with friends, but im only 4 glasses into my water =( its after midnight, so technically it is saturday already, but im going to sneak into the kitchen and knock back another 4. ill be peeing into the night, thats for sure, but i want to make this challenge! katrob - i was…

havent had any water today yet, but im about to head into my dorm communal kitchen to make an early dinner, so will make sure to get plenty in then! my flatmate and i are going to see Water for Elephants tonightttt. so looking forward to getting out of this room and having a proper conversation. ive barely spoken outloud…

i think his next film is Bel Ami? anyhow, i honestly bawled like a baby at Remember Me, even though i knew the ending going in the cinema (accidentally saw it online). i watched it again last week with my sister and teared up again - why does he always have to be dying or dead in his movies??

yous both look absolutley amazing Pam! i noticed fitterpat over on the HP thread, but i didnt know it was your husband. congrats :heart:

lexib0t: welcome! i cant wait to get my first tattoo myself - its my reward for reaching my goal weight. im thinking a few silhouettes of flying birds above my chest to one side. im also leaning toward something on my hip, as motivation to keep the weight off, so that the tattoo doesnt stretch or go wonky!! 11/11/11 and 11…

i cried my eyes out when Cedric died. :cry: Tamelaine, have you seen Remember Me, with Robert Pattinson and Emilie de Ravin??

come on over to our thread, im sure Uno wouldnt mind!

my fellow Puffs, i must confess... the real reason behind my choice to be head of this house... *sigh*

Uno i think you deserve a large drink or a week long sleep or both after this sorting is done! thank you for doing it all :drinker:

welcome to our 3 newest badgers! Nita_Bita, do you have a particular goal weight you'd like me to use for you? Katrob: love that!! it is definitley us. hardwork, patiance, friendship, loyalty, kindness... all reasons exactly why we Hufflepuffs are gonna kick some butt in the next 10 weeks!
