Raaaaaaaaaaaaaaving Ravenclaws! How you all been? I am back! Back from New Zealand, back on the diet and exercise horse, back in the common room! Great to see so many new faces, will try to catch up with you all soon. Have managed to not put weight on over my holiday (miracle) but not going to get anywhere near my target…

Hi frim New zealand! Eek, stil loving it, for anyone who wants to know, I have... swum with wild dolphins Climbed two volcanoes swam in three seas bathed in volcanic hot pools cruised through the fjords sky dived done a four day trek And loads more. It is aces here! Am being dead active so not watching calories too…

Hi all! Long time no speak!!! Some House stuff- well done to Brittlynn07 and srp2011- our prefects for this week! Watch out for their challlenges for next week being posted in the common room soon! Lovely to see so many newbies, I will try to catch up properly soon, let me just put it like this... NEW ZEALAND IS MY…

Hey all! Just a quick one, am in Singapore, had a lovely day at Universal Studios, all the rides, shows etc, tired now though! Been on my fett for eight hours! Will keep trying to log through-out my travels as I know I'm not accountable if not, might not be popping in here as often though... Challenges for this week,…

GRRRR rage just lost a really long post again! Summary of what I originally wrote... Well done to every who lost this week, there was lots of good numbers there! As for prefects, this week they are MomofJandA and Azsuzi!! for the second week in a row! So well done you two, but grrr to everyone else, let's try and chuck…

Happy Monday Ravenclaws! Although today is grumpy Monday for me, feel like I spent my weekend doing catch-up work for school, and now I'm back in it feels like I'm still really behind. Gah! Geekily enough though, I'm really looking forward to running this afternoon- both the exercise and being out and about in the park are…

Happy Sunday Ravenclaw! Had a nice relaxing day, did some weights, went to the supermarket, went for a swim, had an afternoon nap... Basically the perfect Sunday. Not sure how I feel about weigh-in tomorrow, after losing three lb last week I wouldn't be surprised if I don't lose this week, but I really want to as it's been…

Yay, well done!

Hey there Ravenclaws, just a quick check-in as I'm off to bed, it's half 11 pm here, and I've been up since 5.30, after thre hours sleep last night... TIRED! Challenges this week: Exercise: fit exercise in where you wouldn't expect. Examples: contract abs while sitting at a red light or at your desk throughout the day,…

I'm on week six, run three, so last week I was in the same position- basically looking at my phone which said 'run ten minutes' and shouting "WHAT THE F&*%???" Never thought I'd do it, but both me and my friend, neither of whom could run before starting the program, completed it, and, I don't want to say it was easy, but…

I use songs recommended each week by runhundred.com, they send you a top ten each week, some new, some classic. Some of my favourites at the moment, all suggested by the website are: take over control - afrojack girlfriend - avril lavigne run the world - beyonce creepin up the backstairs - fratellis because of you - kelly…

And now me stuff.... Sorry I've been awol for a couple of days, had a really bad TOM (unusual for me) so have been spending most of my time when not at work lying in bed whining about being female! Bit better now though. As for challenges, have cracked it now. Looked at my macros and altered them a bit, am going for carbs…

Right, Head oh House stuff first... Firstly, well done to our prefects this week, Azsuzi and MomofJandA!!! They will be setting our challenges this week. But, I must say, I'd like to see a few others getting the prefect roles, they do tend to get shared between the same few people each month! I challenge you to be a…

Sounds like the best solution to me!- We're going to have to do things like this occassionally to fit four weeks into months aren't we, would be so much easier if all the months had exactly 4 weeks. (note- life would generally be easier if weeks had an even number of days as well, don't you think?!)

Right, how on earth do you eat enough protein??!! Today I've had: yoghurt at breakfast boiled egg at snack pork stir fry at lunch hummus afternoon snack cottage cheese, turkey ham and nuts for tea And I'm still no-where near my protein goal??!! I know I ned some more nuts and pulses, but still. All over arm exercises…

Morning all! Very early morning here, just a quick post- I lost 3 pounds this week. THREE. three. 3. Am SO pleased! Finally a big result!! Good luck to everyone else weighing-in today Xx

Bangkok, Thailand

Woot! just been shopping, first time I've treated myself in ages, and... guess what... Everything I bought (shorts, running top, two jumpers, dress, vest) were size large or in one case, medium. Not a XL in sight! Whoop! Also, I went out last night and loads of people who I haven't seen since Christmas commented, saying I…

OK, challenges time!!! Food Challenge: Protein! It's important! Time to try and meet your goal! (prop tip- you can change the proportions of your carb, protein and fat goals to suit you, under settings). Exercise challenge: Target those arms! Five minutes of punching/boxing type workout every day, please! Spirit: Post!…

Happy Saturday Ravenclaws! Hit the gym earlier, cleaned the house this afternoon and now off out for dinner with some friends. A fish restaurant, yum!! Korkster- I think Indian food can be healthy, but you really have to choose wisely! If you avoid creamy sauces like korma, and avoid having rice AND naan bread it can come…

Congrats! I had that moment yesterday too- ran for 20 minutes straight, most I've ever done before is 8! Great feeling isn't it?!

Hi all! zumba was a lot of fun, didn't feel that tired though! Will def keep it up occasionally though. Mommyoftwins- I try to build in a treat (usually alcohol) by burning loads of calories earlier in the day, so I still don't go over on a splurge. You could try that? Azsuszi- SAME! I thought I was ok with snacking, and I…

Normally pints of ice cream. Literally pints.

Hey all, BritLynn07- Kelly or I will message you soon with what you need to do to join the challenges. I'm in a super rush right now, but I'll get to it later today I promise! Basically, just popping in to say that I am going to try umba tonight for the first time, eek!

Gah, just wrote a really long post and then the connection dropped and lost it all. Short version is... well done to everyone who lost last week! Prefects for this week are... drumroll please.... Cenedria235 and Matchamatcha!! Well done you guys, especially MM for the second prefect duty in a row!

Hi guys! Missed a check-in yesterday, oops! Seems like a lot's happened in the common room in that time, nice to see it so busy again! Other challenges are ok though, I always plan my snacks because otherwise I starve at school! and the burpees are killer but am doing them when I first get up so that they're out of the way…

Hi all, weighing in today at 185.9, down 1.1lb. Not huge, and not as big a drop as the scales were showing yesterday, but about the same amount I managed to lose in February so March is already looking better! Am hoping the loss from yesterday will show up on the scales next week, and then some... Have a good week,…

I have just realised that I did burpees this morning, when my week doesn't start til tomorrow for the challenges. An extra day of burpees?! NOOOOOO!!!!

Good morning from Thailand! Wow Korkster that's amazing! Go you! Keep it up, you're doing so well! Some great ideas on the exercise front- Azsuzi, I think the treadmill definitely counts, anything which you hate! i am going to do burpees (done three this morning, am aiming for twenty a in one go by the end of the week,…

Try measuring yourself instead, see if you see progress that way. But many people believe that losing weight is 70% diet, 30% exercise, so you might want to look at any changes you can make there...
