    I am a broccoli cassarole fanatic!!

    Low-Cal Broccoli Cassarole from Lite Magazine.

    Serves 5.

    1 cup shredded reduced-fat sharp cheddar cheese (4 oz.)
    1 cup cooked long-grain rice (your favorite)
    1/2 cup canned mushroom (sliced and drained)
    1/2 cup diced onion
    1/4 cup skim milk
    4 teaspoons reduced-calorie margarine
    1/4 teaspoon salt
    2 (10 ounce) packages frozen chopped broccoli, thawed
    vegetable oil cooking spray

    Directions:

    1. Combine the first 7 ingredients in a medium saucepan.
    2. For 4 min or until the cheese melts, cook over low heat.
    3. Stir constantly to prevent any sticking.
    4. Add the broccoli and cook another 2 min.
    5. or so until it is thoroughly heated through.
    6. Coat a 2 qt.
    7. casserole with the spray.

    Whoa! I was going to answer the same way Stephanie did, that I think both would make great Captains and maybe they could split up some duties so it wasn't so hard on one person......but I see you have already decided.

    Now I'm just all confused as you issued a challenge? Or was that another challenge from Gary?

    Hey guys! Ya'll are awesome! I'm going to post what I have for every one tonight so ya'll can check to make sure it's correct. I don't have some weights from last week. I'll be sending out messages.

    Note on points: The scoring has changed. They are done on a percentage bases now (which is really good since we are down members). The new max number of points for a week without weightloss is 210.
    - There is a max 100 points for the daily exercises with 5 points bonus if we all complete them. So, if all but one of us does the exercises, we will have a score of 95% which equals 95 points. If we all do them, we will have a score of 100% which equals 100 points plus we get 5 bonus points.
    - Team Challenge works the same way. Max 100 points per week with 5 bonus points.

    The big change is how weight loss points are calculated. They are no longer awarded per pound lost. Rather they are awarded on percentage of weight lost. So someone that weighs 200lbs and loses 2lbs will receive 1 point. Someone that weighs 150lbs and loses 2 lbs will receive 1.3 points. This is actually a more fair way to award points as it is (on average, generally) easier to lose weight when heavier.

    We are earned 226 points for last week but that is without 7 weigh-ins so it could go up.

    Angel ~ I feel the same way about those d@mn jumping jacks. I have to do them in my kitchen because they make my pictures fall off the shelf. :embaressed:

    Official weigh in is Monday However, you may weigh what ever day you prefer as long as you post it (or message it to me) on Monday. Personally, I prefer to weigh on Thursday or Friday since I am ALWAYS bloated on Mondays.

    Pooh- Thanks for the catch up and FANTASTIC job on your miles.

    Yesterday, I did my exercises and water but was less than spectacular on my calories.. stupid rest day.
