I'm on this! I have a mini goal of getting to 250 by the end of September for my friend's birthday ziplining adventure (which I'm currently too big for!!) and I have longer term goals as well, so I am EXCITED for the motivation. Motivation is the only thing that has ever worked for me, and my group motivation last summer…

We had a final weigh in percentage of 0.27%. We had just 10 members make it until the bitter end (props to those of you who stuck around!) We lost 108.6 pounds, which was 5.0778% of our starting weight. Ravenclaw is the only other house reporting final results and they ended with 20 members and a final percentage of 5.9%.…

No spoilers, but... the movie was everything that I had hoped for and more. Best birthday present EVER! We're still missing weights from: Deathismygift (3rd weigh-in missed) Happybunnysbabe jalara lauriek70 raquelphillips10 (2nd missed) tink739 (2nd missed) I hope that they've just forgotten about the unusual weigh-in day!…

I think that is a FANTASTIC idea. :)

Me too. I can't read that part of DH without bawling like an infant!

Uno's final quote on the main page, copying because I LOVE it:

I'm a little late to the party but I hope it's okay! I'm coming fresh off of the Harry Potter Weight Loss Challenge and knew I needed to find something else to motivate me! My absolute favorite holiday is Halloween, so I'm very excited about this challenge! I'm a full time student, applying to pharmacy schools at the…

Congrats to both of you! Victories come in a multitude of ways and we were very lucky to have you on our side. I weighed in this morning at 234.0 pounds. This is minus 2.4 from Sunday, meaning I've lost 48.0 pounds overall and 11.4 pounds over the course of the challenge. I'm still 4 pounds away from the goal I set myself,…

First of all, I've had an awesome time being your HOH the last half of the challenge. A few other things: 1. Congrats to all of you who met or surpassed your goal! 2. Perhaps more importantly, congrats to all of us who've stuck with it! We've lost weight, even if, like me, you didn't make your goal! 3. I hope everyone…

Anyone have any awesome ideas on how to make this last week of the challenge fun? They are curious over on the main board.

It looks like Ravenclaw is going to take it this week, big. It depends on Hufflepuff, though... they still haven't posted their results. We're at 0.29% on the week. We've got 2 more weigh-ins left! We also have a couple of members who haven't weighed-in in two or three weeks. Contact them if they were your buddy, or just…

I got this trick from a friend: rub deodorant (a clear kind, obviously) on your inner thighs when wearing shorts, skirts, etc. I no longer have to wear basketball shorts under my pretty summer dresses!

Got you! Have fun on your cruise, I am SO jealous! Thanks for weighing in early!

TY, Charice is too. I'll hold off on deleting them. PS: I really want to cuddle the cat in your picture. I could use some cuddles at the moment.

We're waiting on Hufflepuff results, but it looks like we might get a REPEAT!!!! Go SLYTHERIN!

Yeah, when I left for school and work this morning, it was in the right column so I don't know how it got moved, but the formula was right, so 0.76% is what I posted. I was trying to drag it until the last minute, and unfortunately with it being finals week and with my new job I was away from my PC from 7AM-12AM. I'm not…

We really rock, guys. I'm 7 pounds from my goal. I don't think I will get there but I think I'm gonna get really close. And that's a-okay with me. I am proud of my progress.

Interesting to note heading into the last few weeks of the challenge: just using members who have stuck around this long (this doesn't include the start weights of six people who didn't weigh in last week, so I hope they come back!) we've lost, as a group, an awesome 110.9 lbs. This is 3.85% of our starting weight.

For our last challenges, Uno wants to know if there is anything we've been struggling with over the course of the challenge so we can make our last challenges really relevant. I'm putting it to you on here in case you all don't check the main board much.

We won guys and totally blew the competition out of the water!! Let's go for a repeat!

This week's challenges from the main board are: We are missing a huge chunk of updates, which I am going to chalk up to the holiday weekend. Please get your weights in ASAP! My goal is to post our percentage to the main board tomorrow when I get home from work around midnight EST (late Tuesday/early Wednesday). Hopefully…

Got you! Congrats on being so close!

Alright my Slytherin friends! Happy weigh in day and Happy Fathers Day to all Slytherin fathers and fathers of Slytherins! I am down 1.4 pounds this week and inching ever so slightly toward my goal. Not sure if I can make it at this point, but it feels FANTASTIC to be under 240 for the first time since my freshman year of…

I have ALWAYS wondered that. I mean, surely Fred and George would want Lee Jordan to come visit from time to time, yes?

It's midnight EST on Monday/Tuesday (I haven't been to sleep yet and likely won't for a few hours... ugh, midterms... so it still feels like Monday to me) and we're only lacking one so I'm posting our INCREDIBLE 0.63% to the main board. I can't wait to see how we stack up! Congratulations to everyone for a good week. Let's…

Glad you're doing a bit better! Thanks for updating early!

42lbs down and not a peep. I would love a little positive reinforcement... I've been working on it for a year, so I guess it has just been far too gradual for anyone outside the people who know I'm dieting to notice. :/

I re-read the entire series over my Christmas break from school. No way I will have time before DH2 to do it again. As far as my "awesome" life, I am a full-time student. Part-time substitute teacher. Applying for pharmacy school as we speak. Doing four shadowships and working a temp job at present, studying for the PCAT…
