this thread is hilarious! I hate some of the spelling and grammar mistakes in the forums here, they make me grind my teeth in anger. you/your/you're and there/they're/their are more common in real life, but in this imaginary world I really want to punch people who want to 'loose weight', especially when they 'weight-in'.…

OK.... Challenge time!!! Food challenge: No unauthorised snacking... Plan your snacks in advance and stick to them, nothing else in-between meals! One OWL every day you only eat as planned. Exercise Challenge: Practice your least favourite exercise this week! One OWL for every day you do this. For example - burpees are the…

ScarlettDawn7, Welcome back! If you want to weigh-in every week and so on, the spreadsheet is here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AnaZ2CBZ3MgTdGxWaWE5OVU0dkQzRE9hRko0S0huT3c#gid=0 But if you just want to do the challenges or lurk in the common room then that's ok too! And the 'Run for your lives' sounds…

I've been using this as a guide... Avocado Beans Broccol Brussels sprouts Cabbage Carrot Chick Peas/Garbanzo Beans Eggplant Greens -- collards, kale, turnip greens Lima beans Mushrooms Potato with skin Pumpkin, canned Peas -- black-eyed peas, green peas Peppers Rhubarb Spinach Sweet Potatoes Highest Fiber Fruits Apples…

Hi guys, just wondering - is the end of March for our challenge Monday March 26 (which is four weeks) or do we add a week to make the end of month weigh-in on April 2nd, making March five weeks? If so, need to edit the spreadsheet to add a week. Happy first of March!

And on a more personal level... Sue- sounds like you're getting back on track! Go you! tboothgenthe- sounds like you're doing well, pop in occasionally and let us know! We need to hear your victories! mommyoftwins- welcome - I find the best accountability is these message boards - very supportive and a friendly bit of…

Hey all! Excellent info from Kelly there, thanks for doing all that! More house business... Prefects this week are.... Matchamatcha and MomofJandA!!! Well done you two!! As for me, still trying to have a good week, have met the exercise and food challenges every day this week but missed a post yeserday, so that's 11/12 for…

Cenedria- hope you're feeling better! Emmie_rene- welcome back! Had a good day today, ate healthily, ran in the park after school, ate my apple, walked home, and here I am posting, so three house points for me! I am going to succeed in March!

Hi all, happy Monday! As said above, it's target time for the month. This month I set a low target, and failed to get there spectacularly! I think at least part of this was because I knew I'd set a low target, so my expectations weren't that high. I definitely remember thinking 'I'll just have another cookie, I can lose it…

Challenges for this week folks... Food: Up your fibre- try eating an apple or other high fibre fruit every day to reach your fibre target. One OWL for every day you make it. Exercise: WALK- walk to the shops, walk home from work, walk up the stairs, anything. As fast a walk as is comfortable. One OWL for every day you…

Hi all! Hope you're all having a good week, mine was a really bad yesterday but back on track today... Hopefully! Kelly- Azsuzi and I even discussed it to see whether it was worth saving a copy of the spreadsheet somewhere, but she said she'd never once had to look back at old data, so we decided not to bother! Is there…

I LOVE THIS WEEK'S EXERCISE CHALLENGE!!! Ha ha ha- was stressing out because I had a pile of marking to do (am a secondary school teacher), hadn't been to the gym, was over on calories, and it was already 8 pm. STRESSED! However, the challenge inspired me... I took the tests to the gym, and ploughed away on the stationary…

Happy Sunday, Ravenclaws! back to work tomorrow though, boo.... I have decided to reset my activity level etc, because I've taken to walking a lot so I've changed it from 'sedentary' to 'lightly active'. I'm now going to stop logging walking as exercise, unless it's fast walking as part of C25K. However, changing my…

Monday morning, before eating, with no clothes on. That's my official weigh-in. Usually jump on the scales on a FRiday morning as well, to see how the week's progressing (am much better on weekends than the week, so it inspires me to do even better)...

Me again!! Haha, here are the challenges for the week coming, courtesy of our prefects, jazzgnat and korkster! Exercise challenge: Make everyday activities more fun with cardio! For example, dance while cleaning the house, or power walk where you normally amble... One OWL for every day you make an everyday activity more…

Aaaaand finally, something I wanted to share with you guys.... my sister has just put one of these wall transfers up in her room, how cool is this?! I right want Dumbledore's wisdom over my bed!!

Right, HoH stuff! this week, our prefects are.... Korkster and Jazzgnat for the most OWLs! Well done you guys! And also a big well done to _gwen, alohashley, Bethanyweathers, Blackhawkgirl91, Craft338, Emmie_rene, jazzgnat, kellyisfat, korkster, momofJandA, Pandora55, tboothgenthe, Weezieishness and WhatsEatingYou, all…

Hello all! So, have had a lovely holiday, but haven't been logging food at all, and done limited exercise (although the two hour sea kayaking trip was a pretty good workout for my arms (read- absolutely killer!!) Going to try and be super good this weekend though to make up for it little bit, and hopefully won't see a gain…

Hi guys, can someone do me a favour-can you fl in the spreadsheet for me? Am on a tropical beach with limited internet... weight: not sure so same as last week. Owls:9, house points: 320. Will try and catch up later in the week, enjoy your week x

Hi guys, sorry to post these late in the weekend, am on holiday and couldn't find the internet anywhere... But, the challenges for this week are: Exercise... Last week it was strength, this week it's cardio... Build some interval training into your cardio. Short bursts of high intensity are far more effective than a long…

Weezieishness- so sorry to hear about your grandfather. WhatsEatingYou- challenges are: food: at least three servings of fruit and veg every day, exercise: strength training, ten mins per day... And now for house business... Well done to this week's prefects.... Cherubcrnp aaand, Missklara! Well done you two, please can…

Ooh Couch to five k is great, challenging for non-runners (like me!!) but great. Stick with it!

Right, you've inspired me, am definitely making weight loss jars this week!! Thanks for filling people in about the challenges Azsuzi ad Kelly, and I think Croatia looks stunning! Will hopefully be in Europe next year and Croatia is high up my wish-list... Am really sad but just made a huge salad for lunch tomorrow…

I'm going to give up coffee (need to do this and Lent is a good inspiration) and meditate, I think...

Happy Tuesday Ravenclaws! Korky- good effort on your clothes, I love fitting into smaller sizes or things I haven't worn in ages! I get things taken in all the time, but it's super cheap here. I guess you have to find out how much it costs and see if it's worth it. Or find a grandma that's good at sewing... :wink: I am…

Weighing up one pound up... Boo! 333 house points though, so am hoping that if I keep that up I'll lose next week... Hopefully! Two nights-out this weekend didn't really help either... Hope all the american Ravenclaws enjoyed the Superbowl! I watched, but not really my sport...

Hi jazzgnat! Will send you a message in a bit explaining how our group works. Sunday morning here- struggling to get up and do anything productive though. Hmm, would normally swim but can't do that at the moment because of a perforated eardrum. Might do an exercise video I suppose... Blah, I hate being lazy! Might make…

Hi everyone!! got a confession to make... In my eagerness to reset the spreadsheet so it was ok for February i did not note down who was our prefects this week- SORRY!!! I will but myself in detention with Filch for doing this! So, the challenges this week from me are from me, not our prefects... Food: VEGETABLES! We all…

Wow I am chuffed with that!1 And well done everyone on a strong finish to January, as alohashley says, 'let's kick february's *kitten*!!' Although am munching on biscuits as I type that.. oops...

right previous post was me in HoH mode, now I'm in just me mode... Why, why, why do I sabotage myself?! Last week, Tuesday and Wednesday were really bad days for food and exercise. I knew Tues and Wed this week were going to be the same food wise, so did I do anything about it? NO OF COURSE NOT! So have been eating junk…
