He has rice rarely (when it comes in a sushi roll), but all other grains are gone.
And thanks, jobob. The only thing fitting looser on me so far is my watch.

You too can help me fight cancer, and get a lovely cookbook for your very own! My team's cookbook is for sale Click here to order. Proceeds go to our team's fundraising for the Philly Livestrong Challenge!
Also, if you can muster a lot of patience and make your own hummus, I pop the skins off the edamame before blending. Makes it creamier. I also add a little ground cumin.

Men kill me... it's like that commercial on TV where the man gives up soda and shrinks to a twig and the woman gives up soda and the dog loses weight! My DH can give up just about any one of a trillion bad things he eats and drop weight effortlessly. I have given up anything/everything that is "bad" for me and cannot lose a pound! I'm not really over-weight, but 10-15 pounds off would look and feel so much better - but it stubbornly will not go.
Men kill me... it's not fair.

Truer words were never spoken (erm, written...) ! It's not a diet. It's a way of eating healthfully, for life.
I kept track of my cabs/protein/fat for a short while a few months ago, when I was feeling a little fatigued. It was eye-opening and I'm glad I did it. I discovered I wasn't getting enough protein. And at that point, I *did* start to make an effort to get a little more. I like to get .6-.7 grams per pound of body weight, which puts me at 77-90 grams protein per day, or around 300-350 cals per day of protein. I wasn't always getting that, partially because I sometimes do not eat alot of animal protein. (I'm allergic to cow's milk). So, I've started eating more turkey breast in particular, and have goat yogurt almost every day. Along with beans and tofu, that's usually enough. Also, I never miss an opportunity for sushi, as GLC can attest to. Finally, I joined a beef/pork CSA. I didn't eat beef or pork for about 11 years, but added it back in late last summer. We only eat it once a week, sometimes twice, as I try to limit my saturated fat intake.
I think the most important thing of all is to find something that fits your lifestyle, while being healthy & maintaining a healthy body weight. If it's too hard to keep track of, or if you resent having to do it, it'll feel like work. And we all work enough already - who needs more? I want food to be something that is pleasurable and satisfying, not something that I have to divide into "good" and "bad".
Maybe that's why I'm so reluctant to start counting calories and points or whatever. It's not a lifestyle choice I want to keep up.
I actually passed up rolled tacos today with my mother-in-law and ate the salad-like garnish only instead. She had bought them from one of her favorite taco stands, and they come five-to-a-plate, mounded high with shredded lettuce and chopped tomatoe, onion, shredded cheese, and guacamole. The salad was delicious, and I honestly didn't miss the taco part all that much. I think I can do the no bread thing.

Nonetheless, you may want to do it for a short period of time, especially if you are having trouble losing. It can be incredibly eye-opening. In my experience, most people eat far more calories, far less veggies, and exercise far less than they think they do.
When you write it all down (whether its points or calories or just a food journal with no "counting" at all) it's all there in black and white. You can study it and maybe discover something that might help you get past a hurdle.
I'm going to blow my diet (errr, my "eating plan") - it's LeeBob's & my 20th anniversary so we're going out for a very nice dinner tonight.

Nope, I shan't be feeling the guilt.
I've been pretty good this week (uh, beers last Saturday night notwithstanding) and there's always the trainer awaiting me. Thirty minutes pedaling on the trainer = 2 activity points. But later much for that ...
