Jsut an fyi in case there's some confusion--Detours are tasks everyone on the team must do. Each team member must do one of the two choices.

Ok ladies what's your poison kiwi or lamb?
I must report I was so proud of myself today my daughter is still ill but she LOVES walks and she saw the coat of hers we always wear on walks and she kept dragging it around house crying wanting to go so I figured it would be a good distraction for her, we got all ready and it was RAINING so I pulled out the rain cover and a blanket adn took her anyway, I just wore a hood, we walked and walked (she slept) since she really needed the nap I just kept walking--I thought my name was Margaret LOL! So I got in 83 of the 103 minutes that I needed there and then hubbby called saying no over time tonight and I was SO happy I coudl go to the gym too, then you wont believe what happened. I got the stomach bug that she has and have been getting sick all night--ack! I finally can hold down water and am sitting here sipping some and having a popsicle feeling a bit better, I can tell you I tried to eat such a healthy lunch and I think that did my belly in (grilled chicken curry seasoning hummus steamed eggplant adn asparagus). You two already know about my other issue going on right now and with this added to it I think its very unfair LOL. Perhaps, on a good note I will have a nice weight to enter tomorrow LOL.
Wulsk-I got your PM saying you would do extra today, thanks your a saint.
Lori-thanks for the nice PM as well, you are sweet.
I also updated tonight.

Wulsk-forgot to say I will continue on the challenge even if we get axed (which I dont think we will).
it looks like with Wulsk and I combined have 13hrs16minutes then as of tuesday Lori posted that she had 4hrs23minutes so that would put us to 17hrs 39 minutes--short 73 minutes; so as long as Lori has done 73 minutes in the past two days or a total of 5hrs 36min for the week I think we will be getting full points.

Morning gals!
I feel so relieved after checking the updates - I was so worried because I wasn't able to do the full 95 min I wanted to do on Wed and Thurs - and I thought I was definitely going to short us.
I did get in 45 min on Wednesday and 35 min yesterday - and because you guys are so AWESOME and KICK ASS - that means we hit our goal!!
So that puts me at 5 hrs and 43 min for the week.
Annnnnnd.....yesterday was such a busy day for me at work - I didn't even take a lunch hour - but I am doing great at the job! All I had to eat yesterday was a Fiber bar and a Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwich on wheat - I am definitely not a believer in "not eating" - I am against it actually - but I think it may have helped with my loss this morning.
I got on the scale and I am at 200 EVEN! New low for me - but so frustrating because I WANT TO BE IN ONE-DERLAND DAMMIT!!
lol
I saw what Kimberly wrote about all team members doing one of the detours - and I don't know why I was under the impression that only one of us had to do it. I did eat Salmon twice this week, but I didn't measure the amount. They were pretty big portions - and I'm going to try to see if my boyfriend has an idea of the measurement of it - since he's the one that cooked it.
I will update that before midnight tonight.
I hope we don't get axed...I love being on a team with you guys - you keep me motivated chickies!!
I will be eating Kiwi this week...I LOVE Kiwi!

Wulsk-wow did I see your weight right you evened out? That is GREAT. That means you lost weight for sure! Wow you are not going to be able to do any more challenges since your such a skinnie minnie now you wont have any more lbs to loose by look of your tracker.
Lori-whew talk about just enough, we pulled this one out of a hat eh? I forgot to mention but 10 of those minutes were me walking halls at hospital LOL so good thing I did that of we would have been short by less than 10 minutes!!! We are a great team. Good job on the weight loss, wonderland here you come!! Try to take some snack with you to work or your metabolism will end up slowed.
ok ladies I am leaving my weight where it was on thursday because it has dropped like a rock but I know its just on account of my stomach virus, having no food in my system and being dehydrated--there is no way I would be at the weight I got this morning 149.5 wihtout it and I dont want to be in major positive pounds in a day or so when I start eating fully again.
rock on red team!

WE GOT THE MINUTES! YAY!
Mom, you are so determined and hard working. In all honesty I don't think I would be able to do what you do if I had a baby. Well done for the walk and the gym and about
- it's horrible isn't it? I have a frear to puke - it is a phobia for me. I almost never puke as I hold it as much as possible. There is some rewarding feeling of stomach emptiness afterwards though. I hope the bug left you already. Your lunch sounded too yummy and really healthy! Thank you for your nice words. You know there isn't anything more flattering than someone calling me skinny (although I am not really). I don't care about beautiful, pretty, nice, clever hahahaha... All I want to hear is "skinny". Actually I have noticed that I felt "normal" from BMI 25 down to 22.9. Below 22.9 I started to feel more like "skinny". But again, really I have my covering of fat here and there and especially from the waist downwards.
Although I am about to reach my goal I am continuening my current food plan and sticking to the challenge till the end. I will be so much delighted if I drop below this initial goal. After that I will start a maintenance program and see if it works at all.
Lori, big CONGRATULATIONS on your new low. I wish you from all my heart that very soon you never ever see the ugly "2" in the beginning. I think that your weight is what is going to save our lives this week. And I also think that mom made very good decision not to enter her "bug" weight as it would make the task for her next week too hard.
Lori, Margaret explained about the roadblocks and detours. Maybe you get confused because of me. I am just doing all of them although I don't have to.
Well, as you noticed my weight was down today. I was so happy but also felt that I deserved it because I exercised as crazy this week and my boyfriend now thinks that I am getting a bit mad. (I don't care! lol)
I had a bit bigger portion for lunch today but it doesn't matter since it is just day 1. I did a brisk, power walk + my usual Pilates, squats and sit ups.
I will just sit back and relax now. I haven't checked other teams but I have the feeling we are safe.

Hey girls!
I am very very excited today! Got on the scale about half an hour ago and I am officially in ONE-derland!!! 199 to be exact!
I feel like running up and down my street and telling everyone!
I have been teetering between 200-204 FOREVER! And I am at 199 IN THE AFTERNOON no less.
I even got on three or four times with no rocking back and forth to make sure I wasn't seeing things.
And, I took a big step today and told my boyfriend how much I weigh. This may not sound like a big deal - but it is a huge step for me.
I have always been so ashamed of my weight - and looked at it as if anyone ever knew the number they would look at me differently.
He is very happy for me and very proud of me, and not afraid to tell me!
It feels so good, I just wanted to share my mini-success with you guys.
Hope you're having a great weekend!

It's such a great event. Onederland is not a dream anymore!
WAY TO GO TEAM!
Muahahahaha! We are good!
Let's not get too proud though! It's a new week! Starting from the zero!
I did my Pilates today. I had yesterday and today a kiwi and had some lamb tonight. I don't know why so many people ignored the lamb. I bought lamb steaks and just grilled them. They taste nice but they had some strong animal aroma. Probably that's why lamb is not prefered. I love it though. Lamb is very popular in Bulgaria.
I am down in weight again but it's not a new low. My period appeared today so I can expect very good results next week. All looks under control with me.
We went with my boyfriend to Starbucks today and I had only one cup of espresso coffee. However I have decided that the week after next week I will treat myself to something nice there.

Lori-WAY TO GO! 199 in the afternoon is very nice. This challenge will see you clear of those number 2's for good. I am very proud of you, especially for telling your boyfriend.
Wulsk-you are SUCH a planner, the week AFTER next, my goodness. I was just reading one of their drinks made the top 10 worst foods of 2007 on sparkspeople LOL, dont get that one until we've been eliminated ok? just kidding. PS lamb is expensive in US and not too common either, it's more for fancy dinners etc.
I got the kiwi in and the 83 minutes excercise but man this cold/flu is gripping me, I can eat fairly well today but the cough is killing me. Negative calories today so happy on that.

Hey Mom, you are doing great with your food and exercises! That's good that we are now on track. That's the most important.
Lori, are you doing fine there?
I had a new low today and soon I will reach my initial goal. I am currently trying to produce a sound maintenance plan and I think I had some progress in my head today. I definitely still think I will have a treat in Starbucks but it will be on Friday so I will have the time to fix the damages by the final weigh in. (I have read the very same article about one of their coffees in Sparkpeople - let's see how my system will react to it.) This week, on Tuesday I will do so called by myself "horn of plenty day" - the rules are: I am NOT going to plan what I will eat this day and I will eat as much as I need as long as it's not any junk, unhealthy food. It should fill me up but I should not binge. The idea of this day is to prepare me for "normal life" where I have to eat normal amounts and make spontaneous and healthy choices. I will keep the pattern of 3 main meals+2 snacks for this day (and for the future) as well.
So I did my sport today - my DVD (legs+abdominal section), squatsand sit ups. I have prescribed to myself for lunch a can of kidney beans but I have immensely overestimated the quantity - 8 oz of kidney beans were just too much for me. My tummy is bloated all day! They are quite calorific as well.
Kiwi is eaten and I ate lamb again. I am surprised to hear that in the USA its considered a posh meat. It certainly doesn't smell any posh. I have been to sheep stables or howerver they are called (places where the sheep live) and the meat smells no different to those premises.
I don't mind though.
That's it for now.

I wouldn't say lamb is considered "posh," it's just that we don't have the number of sheep that big lamb eating countries do, therefore, it makes it more expensive. At my supermarket, the cheapest leg of lamb I can find costs about 10 British pounds on sale. Also, most Americans just aren't big fans of it. We prefer chicken, pork and beef.
Wulsk-you crack me up with the lamb smell comments! I just read an interesting bit in a magazine today that was talking about maintenance plans and it said to pick how many calories you think you need in a day and try to stick to that, if you still loose then add 100calories a day until you are maintaining and to continue with at least 3 days cardio 2 days strength a week. I imagine finding a reasonable way to maintain will be a bit o fa process but you are such a great/smart (skinny) gal --> you said its your favorite compliment right 
I know you will figure it out.
Lori-hangning in there girl? Hope your loving one-derland!
Ok so yesterday I was at -329 and today -600 calories. I have read that you need to have -500 calories a day to loose 1 pound a week. I am still not convinced that my BMR is 1800 but we shall see how this goes. Of course this week is biased because being at home I will burn less calories than at work though I do have a mostly desk job so perhaps not alot less.

Morning girls. Sorry I haven't checked in too much this weekend...there were definitely more downs with ups - and not the good kind.
I have to be honest with you..I've been a little stressed. As you know, I wasn't working from December of last year until now - and that was with no income. When I was hired, I was told that I would be paid on March 21st for 1 week and then get a full 2 week paycheck on April 4th.
Well, long story short - I didn't get a paycheck on the 21st, and now they are telling me that I will just get a 3 week paycheck on the 4th.
My boyfriend has really helped me a lot as well, but he doesn't have that much extra cash to spare himself - he did help me with the Kiwi for Fri, Sat and yesterday - and I am going to go to the grocery store on my lunch hour today and get the rest I that I need for the next 4 days (I'm hoping its on sale).
I am down to $10 until Friday - and I can't tell ya the last time we got a full food order. So, I have to do "Creative Lunch Packing"
I have been trying to think positive and tell myself that it will take baby steps for us to get completely back on our feet, but worrying about the Car Payment and the Rent Payment is really starting to get to me.
I'm a big time planner - so not being able to go out to the store and get what I need for my diet, and not being able to pay the bills that are due eats at me.
Yesterday, we went to the laundromat and did 9 loads of laundry and my back is absolutely killing me - I'd like to count some of that towards my exercise because my muscles are telling me it counts, but I know its just the normal "housework".
I did get an hour long walk in with my dogs - but I didn't exercise on Friday or Saturday, so I do have some catching up to do this week.
I'm still hanging in there girls - don't worry, I won't let ya guys down..I just wanted to let you guys know where I'm at mentally.

Good evening girls,
First of all, Lori - I really feel for you because I would be in the absolutely same situation if my boyfriend couldn't support me. I do feel bad often about it but I know that someday the things might turn other way round. This story about delayed payment is not very nice and I know you liked your boss (woman) but I am starting to think that women bosses are really cruel and vicious. I am sure all will be alright but I think she could easily pay you tiny little bit in advance to keep you going... Well, just one more hurdle for you... Better days are definitely coming...
Mom, you seem you are absolutely on track with your calories. I got inspired by you and checked my BMR for my desired weight - it's 1421 cal. I suppose that arround 1700 - 1800 cal a day will be what I have to eat because I really don't see myself exercising all my life. I do love walking though - the only thing I enjoy which is close to sport so I will make sure I take every opportunity to walk in my life.
Kim, I ate today lamb for the 3rd time this week (almost 13 oz) but tonight the lamb steak pissed me off. It looked well cooked outside but it was secreting red water from inside and it took me a while to realise that these are not juices from my tomato. I took it back in the grill and this time cooked it properly but I had alredy eaten some row lamb. If I don't come online tomorrow... lol you would know why...
Today I bought a sexy, kinky new dress. I was so obsessed taking pictures of myself that it wasn't before 7 pm that I started to exercising. I wasn't concentrated and I don't feel I gave all my efforts in today's workout. I did definitelly took my minutes but I didn't like the fact that I am getting relaxed and too proud. I should work in the same serious way is if it was day one of my journey.
Anyway tomorrow is my free style day let's see how my "random" choices will be.
I am posting my pictures for some time (I will remove them in a couple of days). Please don't feel like you have to compliment me too much. I feel scared that I can become too much self-confident and forget that I was a chubby girl and any time I can be again if I don't keep things under control.

This story about delayed payment is not very nice and I know you liked your boss (woman) but I am starting to think that women bosses are really cruel and vicious. I am sure all will be alright but I think she could easily pay you tiny little bit in advance to keep you going... Well, just one more hurdle for you... Better days are definitely coming...
Mom, you seem you are absolutely on track with your calories. I got inspired by you and checked my BMR for my desired weight - it's 1421 cal. I suppose that arround 1700 - 1800 cal a day will be what I have to eat because I really don't see myself exercising all my life. I do love walking though - the only thing I enjoy which is close to sport so I will make sure I take every opportunity to walk in my life.
Kim, I ate today lamb for the 3rd time this week (almost 13 oz) but tonight the lamb steak pissed me off. It looked well cooked outside but it was secreting red water from inside and it took me a while to realise that these are not juices from my tomato. I took it back in the grill and this time cooked it properly but I had alredy eaten some row lamb. If I don't come online tomorrow... lol you would know why...
Today I bought a sexy, kinky new dress. I was so obsessed taking pictures of myself that it wasn't before 7 pm that I started to exercising. I wasn't concentrated and I don't feel I gave all my efforts in today's workout. I did definitelly took my minutes but I didn't like the fact that I am getting relaxed and too proud. I should work in the same serious way is if it was day one of my journey.
Anyway tomorrow is my free style day let's see how my "random" choices will be.
I am posting my pictures for some time (I will remove them in a couple of days). Please don't feel like you have to compliment me too much. I feel scared that I can become too much self-confident and forget that I was a chubby girl and any time I can be again if I don't keep things under control.

Wulsk-wow, I guess I never paid much attention to your ticker, or because it was in KG I didnt think about it but you have lost ALOT of weight, good for you girl! When were the pictures on the left and right taken? I like your dress, you look very sexy and you have nicely sculpted legs!
PS If your BMR rate is 1421 and you did not do any excercise you owuld want to eat 1421 calories to mainaint, if you ate 1700-1800 then you would gain unless you were excercising at a rate of 3-400calories per day. Does that make sense? I wanted to make sure I did not lead you astray. Best way to check would be to eat ~1400 for a week and see if you loose or gain.
Lori-bummer but I am sure you will find a way to get through the week with the $10,creatively! I remember being at a point like that in college once and I remember putting $1 in my gas tank so I coudl get to work, luckily I was a waitress so I didnt have to wait on 'payday' or I would have been SOL! All the better congratulations to you for watching your weight during a stressful time, the excercise will help with the stress no doubt.
I am planning my evening snack now but I will be about -100 calories, I cant wait to get my heart rate monitor battery replaced so I can get a better idea calories burned during excercise. Anyhow I got in 63minutes excercise although none workouts this week are as intense being under the weater at least I am getting them in! Also was down 0.5lb on scale this morning and 
has not left so that is good news .

Wow Wulsk! You are looking HOT! Your bf is a lucky man. What is your first name, btw?
Lori--Like Nicole, I know what you're going through. I'm sure you'll make it through with some creativity, and then come Friday things will be back to normal.
Nicole--you might need a bit of a metabolic tune up if you're being good with the food and exercise and still struggling to lose. I've had to do it. The good thing is that you get to eat more.
