If you eat whole grain pasta you get a fairly large portion of your daily fiber requirement.

15 pounds in two months is a great loss. That's over a pound and a half a week.

I eat pasta and rice almost every day. Depending on how I cook my pasta determines how much that I eat. If I include veggies and meat in the recipe I find that 1 to 1 1/2 oz. is plenty(100 to 150 calories). If it is mainly a pasta dish then I go with a full serving of 2oz of pasta(200 calories). Eating pasta has never…

I hope you feel better soon. It is hard to concentrate on losing weight and start an exercise program when not feeling well. At least you are not giving up and that is to your credit. I have been there and done that and I finally got to the point where I just had to start all over again. My weight loss has been good but…

Okay...doesn't seem like much but after being sedentary for a couple of years I will give myself credit for making that first step to getting back fit again. If my math is correct it works out to be a 30 minute mile. When I was walking regularly I was at about a 15 minute mile so I have a long way to go to get back where I…

Great job @threewins! Sorry I haven't been around but this weekend has gone crazy on me so I have been up and moving but not so much on the exercise. I am heading out in a few minutes to begin a 10 mile walking program. It runs for about 4 months...starts slow and builds up to the 10 miles. I want to be able to walk a long…

I keep saying that I am going to "never mind" the threads on IF but I just don't. They all turn in to this great debate just like KETO did for a while.

Many of us however never were able to confine ourselves to a set schedule for eating. Me personally after I ate breakfast I was constantly looking for something else to eat. I also snacked a lot. So having a shorter eating window has helped me get not only my appetite under control but also get a handle on the snacking. I…

I will keep that in mind if I happen by chance to turn in to a rat! Right now I will settle for just keeping my appetite under control.

For me...it was mainly because I didn't take the time to get to know myself well enough. I just jumped in and started counting calories, making what I thought were good choices in food and not asking myself what I wanted out of this change in diet. Everything was working fine and I lost over 75lbs. Everything was working…

@threewins I used to think I was old...now I think that I am getting more experienced! I have managed so far today to get my house cleaning (almost) done and to used some resistance bands. Hopefully I will get in some walking. I tried doing some running once...my knees and ankles said no. I think that I would enjoy it but…

There is a burger place close to me that has wonderful burgers. I will usually stop and get a small can of pringles to have with it. It does come in at a 1000 calories but to me it is worth it. I just cut back earlier in the day to account for it. Life goes on and there will always be a good burger to be worked into your…

For some people this still works. I never did for me. I spent too much time thinking about the next little meal that I would get to eat. I just needed more food than that at one time to satisfy my hunger. I think it is very interesting that what works well for one is a disaster for another.

IMO...The first place that you should start is with educating yourself as to what healthy nutrition is. I know that there is a bunch of garbage out on the internet but there are also some good sites that can help you determine what you need to nourish your body. Just make sure the info makes sense...ask here on MFP if you…

I think that if she has found a way to eat that is healthy and that she is enjoying then she can call it whatever she wants. I think the name is a bit strange but she didn't make it up. When I googled it to find out what it is there was about 140,000 responses. I don't recall her saying that it was the best diet for…

Today on my list of things to do is first get my house clean before the weekend. Later today I am going to pull out what exercise equipment that I have and experiment with putting together a plan. I don't have a lot of equipment but I do have some resistance bands, an aerobic stepper and a few small free weights. That…

Tacos are a staple at my house. I keep taco meat of some kind in the fridge almost every week...they are my go to when I don't feel like cooking. I really like Korean Beef Tacos. https://damndelicious.net/2018/10/12/korean-beef-tacos/

You are doing just fine. If you by some chance continue to lose at a high rate you can always adjust your calorie goal up a bit to slow it down. The first few weeks it is somewhat difficult to evaluate your rate of loss. Losing that water weight at first is a real confidence builder however...when thats all gone the real…
