Congrats Hufflepuff!! And also, I HUGE congrats to Kelsue35 and Liz11599!! You both ROCK!

Wednesday workouts done!! And 50 Sleeping Crab exercises done! They take a little while to get used to, but once you get going, they aren't too bad!

Got all numbers for Tuesday!! Again - We KILLED IT!! Calories burned: 4780 Miles: 1195 Our total miles since Oct 1st: 4,022.25 Also, everyone send Marsha (marshalemar) and Holly (hefinator) some good vibes! They have both recently been sick and we need them better!!!

It may seem to be a lot, but if you really want to lose weight and reach your goal, you have to MAKE time. My schedule is some what similar to yours and I have been able to make it work. If I can do it, so can you!! Here is a glimpse of a typical day for me: 5:00am - get up, eat breakfast, work out 6:00am - shower and get…

Ladies and Gentleman! We KILLED IT on Monday!!! Our numbers are awesome!!! Total calories burned: 5229 which translates to 1307.25 miles!! Still waiting for a few updates about Tuesday's numbers, but they are already up there with Monday's. We had 3 people burn more than 1,000 calories yesterday!! woohoo!! All of you are…

Bacon, Ranch, and Chicken Mac and Cheese (from Cooking Light) Yield: 4 servings (serving size: about 2 cups) Total: 45 Minutes 8 ounces uncooked elbow macaroni 1 slice applewood-smoked bacon 8 ounces skinless, boneless chicken breast, cut into 1/2-inch pieces 1 tablespoon canola oil 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour 1 1/2…

So quick question - what are we going to do about points for yesterday? Are we just going to count points for the calories and water intake or just count it as the rest day?

In addition to some of the ones listed above, two of mine used to be: Twins: I have overactive sweat glands. / I sweat too much. My Crohn's is acting up. Now, I don't give a crap if I sweat too much. If I'm not sweating, I'm not working hard enough!!!! With my Crohn's Disease, I started changing how I ate back in February…

I resized mine by saving a copy of the picture myself. If you want a smaller one, here's the link from my photobucket account: Obviously change the IMG to img!

Congrats to Hufflepuff!! September was a good month... but, October is going to be even better!!!

Holly, You have amazing Party Rock skills. Just saying. haha :drinker: now where's that flight attendant.... I need a refill ::hic::

I promise not to kick you out! :smile: To a certain extent on some of those things I agree with you. But dirty jokes, cussing, and drinking... Now those I am 100% on board with you! In flight cocktails any one???

I am ready with my animal print pants out control, yo!!! :wink: SW: 244.8 GW: 230 (I'm going to see if I can push myself this month to get where I wanted to originally be!)

Weigh-in: 244.8. Same as last week. I'd rather maintain the weight than gain it!! With my fluctuations in weight this month - started on 9/1 at 248.5, then gained and went up to 250.9 during the first week, I'm very happy to say that I ended at 244.8. That's an overall loss of 6.1 lbs for September! :happy:

So without further ado, here they are: OWLs: complete 150 push-ups for the week. You can do regular push-ups, modified push-ups, or wall push-ups. If you don’t have a lot of upper arm…

Hey Team!! We've officially taken of as of yesterday!! I've got the reports for 2 out of 8 people so far! Get those numbers to me ASAP!!

I hope everyone is having an awesome weekend so far. I just got some new updates from the Headmistress - I need to report numbers to her every Tuesday. So, if I do not have your weight, minutes exercised and how many OWLs and NEWTs you earned by 9:30am EST on Tuesday, you're numbers will not be included in the House…

Chaos - The team is already full - I've got 8 people. Sorry.

Team Losers in Flight are waiting for take off!!

It's a combination of my last name (Skillin) and my fiance's last name (MacNeil) and the nickname that was given to be by a co-worker - Skillz (MacNeil - Neil) + (Skillin- in + z) = MacSkillz

My first car, red 92 Ford Tempo, was named Harley Quinn, or HQ for short when I first got her... she quickly became known as POS (piece of *kitten*) though. My current car, white 05 Toyota Corolla S, is named Ivy.

How is everyone doing on those crunches?!?! Remember, there are several different kinds of crunches that you can complete to target different areas of your abs. Please take a look at this website and try to incorporate at least 3 or 4 different types: http://www.ab-core-and-stomach-exercises.com/how-to-do-crunches.html I…

EPIC! :heart: haha glad I some influence. :wink: As for the weekly exercises, adding in some other things would be awesome. It sometimes hard to push through the ones we have because they are so repetitive. I'm super stoked for October!!

They are still amazing... but it's just not the same without Head. :frown:

LOVE IT. I really needed a smile today. :laugh:

Update from the Headmistress: We're in the lead for the House Cup!!! WTG Slytherins!!
