Feeling is control is a great feeling. Keep it up!

I am also Italian but we eat more than pasta. I do love my pasta but I eat so many other things lots of fresh veggies, roasted chicken, Polenta, risotto. I eat what I want and still have lost weight. I just don't eat it all every day. If you love mama's pasta then work out more on a pasta day cut back on other foods…

The Best most educated post ever!!! Thank you for a sane educated discussion!

I have enjoyed this thread one of the doctors I work for fasts for Ramadan. He is very quiet about it and we are all very respectful about his fast. I am learning many things about Ramadan. Thank you all

Actually soy does not increase breast cancer in women and a study published in JAMA shows the consumption of soy does not increase breast cancer occurrence risk in women with estrogen positive breast cancer. When you think about long term soy use Asian women have a low incidence of breast cancer. I work with breast cancer…

I would cook the same for both of you but also add some "snack foods" for him like almonds, apple, cheese and so on his diet will be dense enough for him but healthy and you are not playing short order cook.

There are only a few places in the US that can get the yummy tasting Golden syrup. Amazon is one of them and I am not sure what the equvlent would be. I am not sure there is one really.

I always have a snack in the evening. I plan for it. Sometimes it may be popcorn, cereal or crackers and milk. I sleep better with something small on my stomach. I don't eat a full meal late but not because of weight because I just don't like to eat heavy late but that is just me.

I use honey to make my granola and I have used maple syrup but prefer honey cheaper and stronger flavor.

gluten is a protein, protein is important in over all health if you are a vegan or vegetarian Setain (sp) is a good source of protein. So yes it can be healthy.

I rather liked the chocolate peanut butter ones but still not as good as the S'mores they are the best!

where is the LOVE button when you need it :love:

I use 90/10 beef and not that crazy about buns but when I have a bun I like a Kaiser roll and cut a slice out from the center. The other roll I use is a crusty ciabatta with some of the center removed.

it is hard to accurately do your own measurements and if you measure in different place each time you can get a different measurement. an inch up or down can change you measurement. But the important thing is the shorts are now loose and that is what counts way to go!

Slow is the way to go. Congratulations and keep it up. I am 30 pounds lighter than I was 18 months ago it was not fast but it still counts.

you may want to check out the fitbit group. They have reviews there. I have the fitbit one and love it.

Cheetos's, and salty type corn chip and potato chips with dip. I use to have issues with ice cream but having my gall bladder removed seemed to fix that problem because now ice cream hates me.

Walking is moment movement burns calories there for you can loose weight walking. People who walk the Appalachian Trail will tell you how their body changes during their journey.

I don't think it matters as long as you do it consistently. I measure in CUPS many foods I weigh others but the ones I weigh I always weigh and the ones I measure I always measure. it works for my family

when I am very fatigued is when I have the hardest time with wanting to eat.

got my mile in but may get on the bike for some extra calorie burn

didn't you post this in a different form so why the same thread 2 different places?

Got my mile in but I also raked, shoveled and moved decorative stone around my house for an hour.

got my mile in today!

I got a mile in before 10:30 this morning. I had to walk across our hospital campus a long haul so I tried to make it a fast pace.

I (when I was younger) would love to eat breakfast after being out drinking neither breakfast nor dinner but darn good!

More important is try to understand the reason for the binge and learn from it and darn that was a great walk. If I could do that one I would be happy. Love your self more than you love the feeling you get from food.!

sodium is not the enemy it is not all bad. The guidelines for sodium are just that guidelines. I had a condition that I had to eat a large amount of salt daily due to a heart rate issue.

While I don't have a recipe I would start with finely minced garlic in a little oil then add the mushrooms and cook them down don't let the garlic brown. when the mushroom are almost cooked add your spinach it cooks down to nothing so add a lot I would add baby spinach I also like to add red pepper flakes with the garlic I…

I walked 2 miles at work today so I feel not to bad!
