And now just go ahead and make that first post!

Hey there! I'm Tracie. I'm 25 and just had my first child who is now 9 months old. Once I gave birth I decided that I would be a stay at home mommy. I absolutely love it, but I'm definitely not moving around as much as I was at my last job.

 

I found this website kinda by chance. I am very excited to get going on the 12 week workout program. I saw this group and just couldn't help myself. There is nothing wrong with mixing business with pleasure! I love Harry! I am a huge fan of both the movies and the books. I've been kinda jonesin for some Harry lately since The Half Blood Prince movie was delayed till July. So hopefully I will fit right in here!

 

Welcome, Tracie!

Heh, a lot of us (myself included) came to CC for the info and weight loss support, and just kind of gravitated towards the HP group :)

Hello. My name is Jorden. I love the Harry Potter series. I remember back in 4th grade my friend and I actually thought that we were going to go to Hogwarts. We would write all of the spells and charms and what they did and act out the books on the playground. Oh the joy of elementary school. BTW I am 15 and a Freshmen YAY!!! (not)

Hello and welcome, Jorden!  Feel free to add your thoughts to any of the threads or start your own.

Heh.  I remember being a freshman.  Being a Senior is better ;)  Just give it time!

Hi everyone. I'm 24 years old. I have been dieting off and on since 13 (ugh). Now I'm trying to focus on healthy  eating habits and building lean muscle. I love harry potter. i hav been reading the books since senior year of high school when movie #1 came out. I'm just sad there are nomore books but excited to see how they translate them into the last few movies.

Hi and welcome, Dva!

I'm actually really hoping that Ms. Rowling will write more books, maybe even set them in Harry's world. 

Hi everyone. I'm Reni, I'm 29 and have quite a bit of weight to lose.

History with weight loss: A few years ago, I lost about 50 pounds, but have gained that back plus some. :(

History with CC: Have been using it about a month, but have just now started joining groups.

I love Harry Potter and other fantasy literature of course. I also love movies, video games, your typical geek stuff. :D I'm about to celebrate my first wedding anniversary, no kids or pets -- maybe one day!

I work as a newspaper designer and manager, so I'm in front of a computer a lot. I struggle to get exercise in, but I'm thinking of buying a treadmill so I can work out when it's convenient. Looking forward to meeting folks and getting support.

Hello Reni and welcome to the group!

Hello! My name is Kayla and I'm 23 year old web designer. I just joined CC today and when it asked me to add some groups it had this group listed as one. I am big Harry Potter fan so I joined :D I've read all the HP books and watched the movies many times (sometimes it makes for good background noise while doing other stuff :) ) I can't wait to see the new movie coming out. I'll definitely be there opening night! :D Yayyy!

As for weight loss, Ive always been concerned about my weight since I started to gain quite a few pounds in college but never really did anything serious about it. I went on a vacation recently and saw some of the pictures of myself and was like, "WHOA. I look like that? :(" So I decided to do something about it. I've never really talked to people about my weight issues before so I'm trying out something new :) Maybe it will help me keep on track! Let me know if you want a buddy for support or to talk about other stuff like... Harry Potter or how we can defeat my archnemesis, Mr. Cupcake. 

 

 

Hello and welcome, Kayla!

I think your archnemesis, Mr. Cupcake, must hang out with my archnemesis, Mr. Fudge Brownie.

Hey, nice to see a Harry Potter group on here. ^_^ I'm Jen, a 21 year old senior computer science major. I love the books, the movie, and yes... the Harry Potter trading card game. I'm a bit of a Slytherin fan, though it's been way to long since I read the books or even watched the movies... a 40 hour work week kills my free time.

I've only been on CC for a day, but I really think I can give it a good shot and go form 185 (my current weight) to something in the 140 - 145 range by ... I'm hoping for Christmas, but definately by my sister's wedding, which could be as early as next summer.

I'm planning on recording and limiting my calories this week and starting the 12 week exercide program on Sunday. Really hoping I han keep at this. *crosses fingers* Good luck all. ^_^

Hi Jen! Welcome to CC and to the HP Group!

Thanks. ^_^

Hello!  My name is Brandy, I'm soon to be 39, and I work with graduate students at a university.  I just joined CC, sort of randomly because I was looking for some calorie information and they came up on my google search.  It seemed like a neat feature to be able to search and save calorie info (I have a similar app on my iPod, but typing on the iPod is a little bit of a chore if the food isn't in the database).  I joined this group because I'm a big HP fan.

My weight loss history is the usual story - I try this diet and lose 40 pounds and two years later I have it all back, so I try that diet and lose 40 pounds only to gain it back again.  So I've decided to stop trying diets and to just keep track of my calories and see what happens.  I'm hoping that if I pay some attention to what I'm eating, then I'll start to think about whether or not that lovely piece of cheesecake in the fridge at work is worth 400 calories before I actually consume it, and decide to let the grad students eat it.  (We have a lot of event leftovers at work, which does not help my efforts to monitor and reduce my calorie consumption.)  Or maybe I'll be too busy reading about the upcoming HP movie to remember the cheesecake.  Suggestions welcome. :)
