    For the rest of this post can we please stop with the penis jokes!! Yes I said twigs and berries haha . I would appreciate serious advice thanks

    You've gotten some really good advice so far. I'm not sure what else you're looking for?

    At this point I'd just parrot what everyone else is saying. Set a reasonable calorie goal. Eat foods that you like as long as they fit within that goal. Look for foods with more protein, fat, and fiber as these help us feel fuller and more satisfied. Drink plenty of water. Exercise as you're able to. Adjust the plan when/if it stops working for you.
    Does everyone like to argue I know I have gotten great advice thank you I just wanted the penis jokes to stop thank you

    You should keep reporting them!

    Thank you everyone for the great advice and support . I'm really hoping I can get to my goal weight . I think with portion control, exercise and the right mind set ( no more panic at meal time) I'll be okay . If anyone is intersted I would love a mentor!

    They probably won't stop, considering the title of the tread references a common euphemism for such things.
    For anyone who is mature twigs and berries also means salads and grains and vegatables .

    Adults joking around about such things is uncouth and immoral

    I find that eating a meal that is protein dense is far more filling that a carb dense meal for the same amount of calories.
    ex: my breakfast today was 305 calories (coffee, 18% cream, 2 slices of ham, an egg and a slice of cheese with ketchup and an orange) compare that to a bowl of honey nut cheerios with milk and 1/2 banana for the same calories

    I also want to add I'm on a tight food budget . We eat a lot of food we have killed and butchered ourselves. Deer, moose , pig and chicken

    Then make some marinades and have some yummy meats! I love chicken marinaded in mayo, vinegar and garlic myself!

    I don't think it's very mature to refer to "salads and grains and vegetables" as "twigs." So consider that before you write off everyone giggling at your thread title as immature.

    And besides, it's the internet. It's public. Expecting everyone to be the model of decorum is not reasonable. If you use euphemisms for male genitalia in your thread title, expect people to giggle. Just ignore it and move on if you don't like it.

    I eat meat, fruit, and vegetables everyday. I still drink whole milk. I eat ice cream and cake and cookies and candy and chips. Do I eat more fruits and veggies now than before? Yes, of course. Do I eat less sugary/fattening things than before? Of course. I'm sure this has been said already (I didn't read the entire thread), but if you deny yourself things you love, you're more likely to binge eat them. So you make room to enjoy them as you please without going over your caloric intake for the day.

    Get over it,
    It's going to happen over and over again - on your threads, on others.
    It's called the internet.

    No, this isn't a weight loss site.
    It's called My FITNESS Pal. Not my WEIGHT LOSS Pal.
    Not everyone is hear for weight loss so don't assume.

    Jokes belong on here too, not just Facebook.

    Yeesh.

    Seriously. This is a public internet forum. You have to accept the fact that people will say things you don't like. All you can really do is just ignore it. If you can't handle that, you probably should reconsider posting.

    General protip: asking people on the internet to stop doing something in your thread is just going to double the amount of unwanted comments in your thread.

    So eat what you like and count the calories. Over time, you may find that you can live with some substitutions or changes if that means being able to eat more of your favourite foods. For example, tonight I'm having ravioli and leftover Christmas cake, so that means the rest of my day consists of fruit, salad, carrots, cucumbers, and low fat cottage cheese. Over time you'll learn what you can live without, or what you can do to make more room in your diet for things that you love. Just takes time and practice. Get logging!

    This exactly! When I first started MFP, I had to completely plan out my meals the night before, to make sure I could stay under my calorie goal. If I knew I was having a big dinner, I adjusted my breakfast and lunch accordingly. Or, I could add an extra 15 minutes to my workout. I even pre-logged my workouts so I could have the extra calories to count in. I never once ate twigs :-), but I did purchase a food scale ($15 Walmart). That was probably the biggest and most shocking change for me... I was eating WAY too much food at each meal... sometimes double the suggested serving size. I had to pre-log and weigh my food for a good 6 months before I really "trained" myself on proper serving sizes and until my belly shrunk and I got used to knowing what to eat. Practice, Practice, Practice. Good luck! Don't give up! Baby steps.
