Have a cup of tea, brush my teeth, and try to keep myself busy. If I'm occupied with doing something else, I won't think about food!

Hello and happy Tuesday fellow Slytherins! I just wanted to let you all know of our numbers for the month so far! I think we've all been doing great! The House Points are the average of our minutes exercised each week and the % lost is the % lost by everyone during the week. Week 1 (Jan. 6-9 check-in): House Points -…

Sorry for the confusion everyone! These are for this week!

You've hit a bit of a plateau... It sucks, but you can push through. Have you changed up anything in your routine to see if that would help? Like eating a few more calories or switching up your workouts?

I just realized that I have not posted my specs in ages! I'm going to start doing it again weekly, that way I can hold myself accountable! Weight: 242.4 (down 1.7 from last week) Minutes exercised: 253 OWLS: 3 NEWTS: 6

The FitBit isn't a heart rate monitor. I use mine in conjunction with my Polar FT4 so I can record the most accurate calorie burn.

In essence yes. It won't track you lifting weights because you are really walking around much, but every step you do take, it will track. But that's where tracking your activity comes in. If you're lifting weights and not really walking around very much, the FitBit won't pick up on all of the activity, but once you log…

I just got a FitBit for Xmas! :). Never used a BodyBug. But I wrote up a review of the FitBit on my blog. You can read it here: http://feedsparingly.blogspot.com/2012/01/fitbit-ultra.html For the FitBit there is an *optional* membership that you can purchase and it's only $50 for the whole year. You get a week free trial…

I would love to be a part of it again! I just don't want to run a team, so if anything is looking for members, PLEASE let me know! I average about 400 to 500 cal a day, some times more! :)

Hey everyone. I'm really sorry about my absence. Life has been insane since Thanksgiving. My fiancé's grandfather hasn't been doing so well since Thanksgiving, but he's getting better and should be going home by the beginning of February. Only thing is he can't live on his own so my fiancé and I have offered to move in…

We met in 7th grade back in 1998. We dated for like a month and we were each other's first kiss. We remained friends and then he ended up staying back and then dropped out in 2001. Fast forward to 2008 - he finds me on Myspace and we starting talking again. We were both in relationships at that time and would just talk to…

As promised, here are the challenges for next week! We're going back to crunches and focusing on our carb intake this week! http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/MacSkillz/view/december-slytherin-house-challenges-175952

I've been doing something similar since August!! My grandmother lives in FL and I decided that I wanted to "Walk/Run/Bike" the distance between my house in RI and her house before I get married on 10/27/12. It's a total of 1,300 miles. I've done 242 so far.... only 1,058 left to go! And I decided to name my challenge "To…

I also live in Lincoln. I started the C25K two week ago but then got really sick and won't be able to get back into running for another week or two :( Right now, per dr's orders, I can only walk and do low impact exercises. Once my health is back to 100%, I will be doing the C25K, Power 90, and using the Just Dance games…

Great job to each house!! We all totally rocked the month of November!! Even though Christmas/Hanukkah/Kwanzaa or whatever holiday you celebrate is coming up, let's keep those numbers up for December!! Congrats to Hufflepuff for winning the House Cup!! Congrats again to my fellow Slytherin for winning the Quidditch Cup…

Don't know if any of you checked in the Great Hall, but I've got TWO awesome announcements!! 1) We won the Quidditch Cup AGAIN for November!! This means that we had the highest percentage of weight lost last month out of the four houses!! Way to go everyone!! :happy: 2)One of our own has been named Head Boy for the month…

Sorry everyone - I had a bad lung infection last week!! I sent the numbers to Bron this morning so hopefully she'll get them up at some point today!!

Alright everyone! Keep those numbers coming!!! I'm so glad that you all kept going in my absence. I feel like I've been a horrible Head of House, but I also know that I can't control when I get sick! I have created the blog post for the OWLs and NEWTs for this week. They can be found on my December Blog post:…

Hi everyone! I just wanted to give you all an update and the reason why I haven't posted any OWLs or NEWTs this week - I've been at the hospital since Sunday night and just got home last night. Drs thought I had pneumonia but it's just a really really bad lung infection. So this week, (even though it's half over already)…

Woohoo!! Go Slytherin!! And Congrats to Hufflepuff!! All of those numbers are looking fantastic! Get up the fantastic work everyone! :smile:

Congrats to us all!! We won the Quidditch Match for last week!! We are also in the lead for winning the Quidditch Cup for November!! Let's keep up the amazing work!!

LUCKY!! I wish I could go to a game :( haven't been able to get tickets for years! But because of the cold, I'm fine with watching it in the comfort of my home! Have fun!!

I did a "test run" last on of Week 1 Day 1 and if I could handle it, I was going to get started 100% with C25K this week. And to keep to my promise, I just officially started today on the treadmill! :) Week 1 Day 1: Walk- 3.0 Run- 5.2 Distance: 1.95 miles

Good idea!! I think I'm gonna try that! haha Thanks!

Keep those numbers coming Slytherins!! The challenges for next week have been added to the blog: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/MacSkillz/view/november-slytherin-house-challenges-167219 Happy early Thanksgiving to all of you who celebrate! :drinker:

Josie - I legit just started C25K today on the tredmill. It wasn't bad at all. I think it may work out better because I don't have to worry about what the weather is outside (I live in New England so it's always changing. haha). Plus, I have a 5K Obstacle Course I need to train for that's in May 2012 and I've never been a…

How is everyone doing on their OWLs and NEWTs so far?? I am very happy to say that at the beginning of November we were down to only 9 members. As of today, we've doubled our numbers and are up to 18!! :happy: And we need to make sure we keep up the awesome numbers we've been having so we can beat Hufflepuff! Don't let…

Hi Everyone!! I hope it's ok that I joined!! I got JD3 a few weeks ago and I've kind of been playing it non-stop. haha It seems as though you're in the middle of a week so I'll start up officially next week! :)
