LOL :-D Maybe it has been, but I don't think the search function works well for finding the information you want. I wanted the thread about low calorie foods to stretch your food budget and I couldn't find it. It should really be stickied! The calorie dense one is.

I feel like sweet potato has more flavour, so you add less toppings to it and don't need to eat as much to be satisfied.

@Lietchi Thank you! :)

I have trouble finding a healthy life balance. And I can't afford therapy, do you know of any self help books that address this?

I'm not really worried about type of exercise, it's whether I'm able to or not, due to spare time, health or weather

Any smart food swaps or snacks or whatever? Things I've heard of: -Have sweet potato instead of potato -Brown bread instead of white bread -Cauliflower rice instead of white rice or mixed with, or brown rice -Remove burger buns from burgers and just eat the middles -Order thin crusts on pizzas

Forgot to add, I also play pokemon go :-)

LOL :-D

Good hair, a kind face and nice teeth

Feel free to add me! Kiwi chick, Autism Bipolar and ADD, Walker and Scooter. Also got diabetes and fatty liver.

Thanks everyone! definately some things to think about. That being said, does anyone know of any types of pasta with less calories, that still tastes like pasta?

I get annoyed when I can't exercise that day or if my weight goes up, even though I know weight is supposed to fluctuate.

Plain or italian herbs. It would be nice if I could double the amount by adding veges. I might miss the quantity of pasta though! I think I'm used to eating bulk and heavy meals from my childhood.

San Remo Pasta Spaghetti probably 200g, tinned tomatoes, salt and cheddar cheese. I also like tortellini with tinned tomatoes, spaghetti bolognaise and seafood carbonara. I have red lentil pasta sometimes but I'm not that fond of it.

Thanks everyone. My thinking has definately been disordered (going on 20 years!), but I need to lose weight because I have fatty liver and diabetes, and I also want to inspire my family to be healthy because I'm scared they'll drop dead or something.

I guess eating pasta once a month isn't so bad. The recipes I come up with aren't so good, maybe I should get it when I eat out?

@snowflake954 Theres a weight limit for the scooter I'm not planning on ditching the changes I make once I hit goal, I just need to figure out how to stay within my calories. I'm making a plan but I feel like I still need a bit of help.

@snowflake954 I already walk 20-30 minutes a day. Once I've lost another 6kg I'll start using my scooter again. Pokemon go keeps me outside.

I miss sparkpeople, they had lots of excellent features. I really like the simplicity of myfitnesspal though!

I would like some new friends to do the journey with :-)
