Harry Potter Weight Loss Challenge
 

The final Harry Potter movie is being released the second full week of July in most of the world. I thought it might be fun to do a short challenge that will end the week the movie opens. If we start weighing in next week, that'll be 12 weeks.

Your day of weigh-in doesn't matter, since the movie opens on different days in different countries. Just pick a day that works for you, and weigh in once a week.

My goal:

April 24-30:
May 1-7:
May 8-14:
May 15-21:
May 22-28:
May 29-June 4:
June 5-11:
June 12-18:
June 19-25:
June 26-July 2:
July 3-9:
July 10-16:

Anybody want to join?

Me Me Me Me Me Me ME!!! This is FUN!! I LOVE Harry Potter and will DEFINITELY be going to see it when it comes out. The movie theater is one of those places that always makes me feel fat. (There's just something about the lighting and the mirrors in those bathrooms) What fun to think of going as a new and improved version of myself in a cute outfit ... DATE NIGHT!!

Linda ... I am SOOO jealous! :p I want to go so bad. My kids think I'm crazy. LOL They'd rather do Disney. We are hoping to go to Orlando late summer / early fall. Might have to push it back though so we can save up and go to both parks. LOL

My weigh ins will be on Sundays and I am aiming to lose 25 pounds for this challenge.

Ooo, I'd love to join, what a fun idea! I can't believe it's already time to be thinking about the last movie - I still remember the first time I started reading Harry Potter way back in high school! I'm sticking to the weekly schedules, but picked a day in the middle of the week since Wednesdays are my official weigh-in days:

July 13 - Goal: 217, Actual:

You know what? What the heck! I'm not a big HP fan; I've only seen the first movie and read a few of the first books, but this looks like fun regardless and it's just starting, so count me in!

12 weeks at hopefully 2 pounds a week = 24 pounds.

I'll start on Sunday, as that's easiest for me and kind of is a "fresh start" rather than already most of the way through the week :)

It was AWESOME!! You have to break your weight loss regiment to try the butterbeer... sooooooo good!
I had never been to Universal in Florida so I like a lot of the roller coasters. The new Harry Potter ride was really cool, but the dueling dragons from The Goblet of Fire was a better ride. I guess it is a ride that was there before but revamped for Harry.

Yes! Sounds fun..I'm in :D

I am so in.... DH and I love the HP series and I could use some accountability over the next few months.

We leave next week on vacation and will be gone for almost 3 weeks, 15 nights of it on a cruise. My plan is to stay 90% OP and increase activity; when I've done that in the past I've always come home with a small loss, so I hope to have the same experience this time.

We were actually planning to go to WWoHP at Universal at the beginning of the trip, but I understand it's been an absolute zoo the past several weeks with Spring Breaks going on, so we decided to use some free passes I have for Sea World the day we're in Orlando instead. WWoHP will still be there the next time we get down to Florida.

Goal: 216 pounds

April 24: 239.5 Uggh... heading the wrong way, but totally OP, so it's gotta be water.
April 27: 235.5 MUCH better... that ugly water weight is gone. :)
May 18: 235.5 After a long vacation, I'm not complaining!
May 25: 234.0

I'm in! I'll type up all the stuff (dates, etc.) later

I went to the wizarding world of Harry Potter a month ago for a private party! I must have rode the coaster 12 times! And I was just excited I fit in the seats!! :) Its a small place but WAY fun!!

I'll join you muggles!
