Hi all! Wow, exhausting first day at work, information overload! Had a lovely swim in the school open-air pool afterwards though, so that de-stressed me a little bit... Free school lounch everyday though, need to avoid that temptation... Don't forget to weigh-in today Ravenclaws, if you're still around!

Azsuzi, you are a star! And, as of tomorrow, I am back at work (eek) and so will have reliable internet access everyday. Thank you so much for doing the challenges, and I will get on with reminders and prefects and so on this week. The spreadsheet is updated to include this weekend, and I will clear it of people who seem…

Hi everyone! So, my new 'logging every day and being really good´ resolution has failed because I moved to Spain on Friday, and we don´t have internet or anything sorted in my house yet. I LIVE IN SPAIN NOW THOUGH! Super exciting! As you may have seen, Kelly is having a short break whilst she sorts things out and as other…

Hey all, @thewinged... I am going out right now to find some swings! Sounds like a great workout!! I wish I could LIMIT my wine to one glass a week though, sigh. @azsuzi... Can you do ab stuff at work? I never remember to do them, but my old colleague swears by contracting her abs while she sits at for giving her a great…

Hey Kelly, I'm so sorry to hear about your problems, am sending positive thoughts your way! I thought you were doing a great job of Headmistress before your absence so I'd be quite happy to have a bit of a break (still posting in common room and so on) and wait for you to get back in touch in September. Enjoy your holiday…

Hello everyone!!! Wow, what a holiday. Budapest is the most beautiful city I've ever been, and the music festival was amazing as well. Slightly extended the holiday due to a lost passport (not mine!), but we didn't really need an excuse... As for Ravenclaw.... Thank you so much Sue for doing the challenges, I had emailed…

Hi guys! Just a quick note to say that I'll be away for the next week and a bit, so no house updates. Keep up the good work, and keep an eye on the great hall for challenges etc. xx

Hi all! Sorry for my absence, was whisked away on a surprise holiday by my boyfriend! Was lovely, very unexpected!! I have cleared the spreadsheet so that you can weigh-in for August, don't forget to put your end of the month target in there as well! Will catch up later, just catching up with washing and so on after the…

And also... Weighing in at 1lb down today, not brilliant but as expected. Going on holiday next week so will try and lose two more this week so my shorts fit when I get there! Korkster- sounds like a tough but do-able target, I say go for it!! Matchamatcha- welcome back! I definitely do boredom eating, I'm going to log…

Well done Hufflepuff! Come on Ravenclaw, we can do it!

Morning Ravenclaws! sorry about the delay, but challenges for this week are set by Gryffindor... Food - One earned for every day you stay under your carb macro (feel free to do some research and set this macro as you see appropriate for yourself and your goals). Exercise -One earned for every set of 10 tricep dips! Spirit…

Morning all! I love that Korkster is so happy on Fridays, I would normally be but as it's school holidays at the moment then I'm happy every day! Stayed up late last night to watch the Olympic opening ceremony- everyone (more or less) here in the UK thought it was great, but I'd be interested to here what other people…

Morning all! Well I just about coped with the cake yesterday, it was close on the calories though! Twifan- is there someone else you can ask for a second opinion? It's often hard to see your own shape changing so maybe your neighbour is right? Amber- you should have a message from me! Welcome to Ravenclaw! Korkster-…

Ooh some of your healthy snacks sound amazing! definitely going for broccoli and balsamic, that sounds lush! just spending one day yesterday being conscientious about logging and thinking about my food meant my wii fit showed a 2lb loss this morning. Now I know it's daily fluctuations and I'll probably still be on that at…

Hi, I started out from the same baseline as you at christmas and ran my first 10k at the end of May. Before running it the most I had done was 7km, and actually, although the race was harder, it didn't seem a 1/3rd harder. i trained like this: Completed C25K- so that I could run for 30 mins at a time. Then, each week, add…

Hi Kelly, some Ravenclaws think we should go back to having spirit OWLS, as they increase participation in the common rooms. That might be an idea!

Right, House Stuff now: Welcome to katemme and TheHistoryLady, I will message you individually in a minute with how to participate. MomofJandA- thanks fr posting the challenges for us! Week three check-ins: Well done to Azsuzi, datenshi, kellyisfat and Jadery24 for losing this week! Currently we are in second place for…

Hi guys! House stuff to follow, first, I'd like to apologise for not being around much, 5 lb gained in two weeks means as of right now I am back on the horse and concentrating hard. I will be checking in every day and it'd be nice if other people were as well! Today I am going to meet my new house mate for the first time,…

I ran 9 miles today as well! Weather was torrid- grim and rainy, with a strong wind!

Happy Monday all! Good exercise today, less good on food. Oh wells, will try harder tomorrow. Also gained weight this week- was expected but it's always disappointing!

Hi all! Lots of people not around at the moment, still nice to see people popping in when they can though!! In big news...We won the Quidditch cup for June! Whoop whoop! Let's try to keep it up in July!! Challenges for this week are: Food - Eat at least four servings of vegetables during the day. Exercise - Aim for 50…

Waaarrrggghhhh tracking these new challenges is spinning me out!!! As for spirit, I don't think we track it for now. However I agree with Azsuzi that we should keep it going. I will ask Kelly about building it into forthcoming challenges. In other news, I looooooove being home with my family! And tomorrow I see my…

Good question aszuzi, I'll ask Kelly. these new challenges are different that's for sure. It's raining in the UK, I miss Thailand!

Ooh, and here are the challenges for week two of July- as decided by Hufflepuff... Food - Monitor your sodium levels! Each participant should have the sodium column in their diary and for every day they are 'under' the sodium 'goal', they should award themselves. For every day that the individual is under their sodium…

Helllloooooooooo Ravenclaws! Hi from England. Am finally home in UK, got six weeks here until leaving for my new adventure. It's nice to be back, weather is dreadful though! About 20 degrees C colder than what I left behind in Thailand, sigh! Very quiet in here at the moment, how's it going Ravenclaws?

Good morning Ravenclaws! Yesterday was my last day at work in the school I've been at for three years. Today is my last day in Thailand. Talk about emotional! The kids cried, I cried, my friends cried.... Been eating crap, drinking and not exercising either, sigh. Back on the horse tomorrow!

Good morning Ravenclaws! Was it just me or was MFP fauty all weekend? It wouldn't let me log on once. Very depressing! Had a great last weekend in Thailand, got a sore throat and a bad flu bug now though, so feeling a bit sorry for myself! Challenges for this week aren't posted yet because Kelly is having internet issues…

Good morning Ravenclaws! Had a bad day yesterday- no exercise and over on calories. Oh well, was exhausted. Today I will be better, although I feel like an eating monster. I know I'm not hungry though, just eaing for the sake of it, must resist! Tonight I will run and hopefully swim though to make up for yesterday. I feel…

Happy Wednesday Ravenclaws! Week two results for Ravenclaw are all now in, congratulations to... azsuzi, CivicSista, datenshi, kellyisfat, me, matchamatcha and srp2011, who all lost this week! Great news is no-one gained weight this week, everyone lost or maintained. Excellent work! Prefects for the week are: momofJandA…

Not about food this one, but exercise. My housemate, every time I get back from a run, says 'I'd like to run, but I just don't have time'. The way she says it, means 'I'm busier than you' which is just bullcrap! We do the same job, get home at the same time, go out abouy the same amount of times a week etc. It's just…
