Low carb pasta?
Does anyoen know of any good low-carb pastas? I've heard of some kind of Asian pasta sometimes called 'miracle noodles' that has almost no calories and a lot of fiber. I 've never tried it.

How often do you weigh yourself?

Usually 5 to ten times a day. I only count the first one after I wake up as 'official', though. I know this is too often but I'm addicted! Seeing…

When you eat under your calorie limit and still gain... how
My calorie limit I set for myself each day is 1200. Yesterday, I worked off over 400 calories (447, I think), so I should have been able to eat 1,800 calories. I ate almost 1,400 (had a HUGE mexican feast with my roommates, a 600 calorie meal!). It was a mistake, but I had worked out so much, that I thought it wouldn't…

Advice for running when you can't get out of the house?
I'm trying to start running to get in shape-- My first minigoal is to be able to run a mile without having to slow to walk (Yeah, I'm realllly out of shape). I usually go the gym or run outside, but my 14-month-old daughter is sick! I don't want to take her outside in the stroller, and I'm afraid to have her at the gym…

New here, but not new to weight loss :)
I lost 25 lbs in high school, but had a baby and gained it all back... Plus almost 50 more. I've lost 60 lbs since then, and want to keep it up! Just created an account, hoping it will help me track protein and fiber and get more of that in. :)
