I love spagetti too, and have it at least once a week, along with pizza. My favorites.
I do not restrict any foods, but try to limit portion sizes and sweets. This is a lifestyle change, which is to get healthy and live our lives to the fullest.
Please save be a bowl....lol.....

My MIL lives with us; tomorrow her oldest son and his wife (and dog?) will be visiting. Bagels, lox, cream cheese, cheese, pesto, ...

Monday's weighin will not be pretty for me

Have you tried making spaghetti squash? I put cheese shreds on top, marinera sauce, etc. You get a lot of food for not a big calorie hit.

Regular pasta is the BEST though! :) Enjoy!

I buy the extra lean hamburger (120-130 cal per 4 ounces less if venison) if I dont use my venison. I use the same things in it, prego (watch the calories on different jars), celrey, onions mushrooms, sun dry tomatoes, spices.... I buy the smart pasta, 1 cup =180 cal and my sauce adds up to 186 per cup. I am stuffed with lo calories.... its a staple at my house too.

I know this post is old, but we had spaghetti tonight. my family had normal stuff, i however had spaghetti squash with tomatoe paste sauce (i make my own sauce usually anyway with my own spices and what not with tomato paste.) ground chicken meat balls, then i cheated a little and had 2 pieces of garlic bread. but my calories could handle it.

I like to make my own spaghetti sauce too. I know that the canned stuff has a LOT of salt in it, so I start with crushed tomatoes and tomato sauce. I used reduced sodium types if I can find them. Then I add spices. Sadly I also like to add ground pork which has its own sodium issues.

    I'm horrified!  I knew my insurance would go up due to getting a new car but I didn't expect it to go up over $2,000.  I did have an accident with the snow/ice in the winter.  I was just telling my brother that I have had my car since March 2, 2026 and have only spent $75 on an oil change.  Now this!  I called another insurance company and their quote was over $4,000.  I guess I have to pay...

    We all have 24 hours in a day.  How we spend these hours is important.  Watching a little bit of a video about how sitting affects us made me aware of how much sitting and laying down I do.  Gonna have to work on that.Your turn.  Tell me another truth.
