Sometimes I don't even realize but I get waay too many carbs. It's unescapable! I love pasta, and sandwiches, and even things I didn't even knew had carbs. Not sure if I want help, Just thought we could start Carboholics not so Anonymous.

Carbs carbs carbs. My best friend and my greatest enemy all in one. 

I actually "binged" on vareniky(its a kind of seasoned potatos covered in pastry, horrible.) that my mom made today. It made me go 500 over my limit. Today is a sad day.

I'm also a bread fiend. Pita and French-style baguettes mostly. Kills me.

I could eat pasta, bread, cheese, and drink wine everyday!! Thankfully, I have been trying really hard to eat these foods on a limited basis and have managed to loose a pound a week for the past 9 weeks. But if I could..... mmmmm.... a loaf of French bread.... I am also of Polish decent and potatoes are a staple for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I probably have 50 ways to cook a spud! I am trying to "forget" how to make potatoe and cheese piorrigi slathered in carmelized onions and butter. I figure once a year for Christmas is okay!

I am Russian and we are the same with potatos and really buttery pastas/pastries. Its unescapable!! I dont see how Americans are the fattest after seeing how my mom cooks some ethnic Russian dishes. Its enough to make a weight concious person die a little inside(That being said, I am more Americanized and a french fry addict. So, I'm kind of getting it from both sides here D: )

Oh oh, Im a carbaholic too, for me, its bread, yummy, yummy bread.

I feel your pain... some days i find my self eating a whole box of elbow macaronni with salt pepper and butter all in one sitting and i still want more!

the only advice i have is that usually if i dont eat it for 3 days i dont crave them as much and i eat less of those delicious carbs......

good luck everyone!

Hello, my name is Becky, and I am a carboholic.  I can eat an entire meal of nothing but bread.  I dream of white potatoes, crackers, whole grain pitas, and pound cake.  It has been 2 days since my last serving of pasta.

Haha, I feel ya!  But a calorie is a calorie, and if I can fit that macaroni into my lunch somehow, you'd better believe I'm going to do it.  The plus side, I guess, is that I LOVE whole grains - something I never knew until I started CC-ing!

It's so nice to know there are others like me.  Laughing

My name is Denise and I love carbs.. I have a weakness for bagels, pasta (especially this kind I make with farfalle and bell peppers and garlic, it's aamazing) and pastries. However I am keeping my carb-love at bay to save for special treats or going with whole wheat versions once in awhile.

O man, I felt like I was the only one! Seriously, when everyone craves a hamburger, I just want the bun! I'm in love with anything "bread". I ended up having toast for breakfast, a sandwich for lunch and an english muffin to snake and a bagel for dinner...all today (I blame my cycle). I start my calorie watching diet Monday, might as well be bad while I can :-X

Is jump roping as good an exercise as running?

In terms of calorie burning, moderate jumping is about equal to running a 10-minute mile, although calorie burning is always a function of time... Read more
