    Wow I can't honestly believe that we are all adults here. All I asked is for people to stop with the jokes on a post I posted. Instead of people respecting my wishes like mature adults I get bashed !!! Pretty much told I'm a baby !!! And yes I realize not everyone here is here to lose weight excuse me for calling it a weight loss site . It just sucks that now I have to reconsider using a site because of people who can't get through there day without going on the internet and arguing and making jokes at other people. Thanks for ruining my thread

    Get a pencil, paper, & log it the old fashioned way then.

    What is immature is your unwillingness to listen to those who have succeeded at losing weight; moreover, your lack of concern for the twigs and berries of the world. They were living things once, too!

    You don't "have to reconsider using" the site. Just don't get all bent out of shape when someone giggles at a thread title that uses a common sexual euphemism. Geez. Are you this fun in real life?

    And ruining your thread? What? It's not some artistic masterpiece, it's an internet forum thread. You got a ton of exceptionally useful information and you got a few people laughing. Sounds like a success to me.

    This is exactly the attitude I see from successful people.

    Oh, wait. No. It's the opposite of that.

    I love fruits and vegatables don't get me wrong. I just meant I don't want it to be ALL I get to eat. I was just ranting a little. I think I just get scared . Food is a comfort for me

    This is a misconception to a healthy life style. You do not have to eat nothing but fruit and veggies to be healthy, such misconception. To lose weight you need to eat at a lower calorie intake and workout. You do not have to deprive yourself of things you love, you just need to learn how to enjoy them in moderation. You need protein in your daily diet, so do not think you need twigs and berries lol. Top sirloin is a great source of lean protein, Chicken breast boneless and skinless, is great, fish is great. You do not have to eat like a vegan to lost weight.
  • Ok I just don't want argue anymore . Thank you for all the great advice and next time I will choose a title that is less likely to receive negative attention. I honestly was trying to start anything . For a site that is suppose to be motivating and supporting , I just felt very bullied .

    Oh, I agree no need to limit yourself to twigs and berries.

    You can eat anything, even Franks and Beans. Just don't get the beans above the frank

    Their They're

    It wasn't always this way


    There was a time when posters were kind
    When their tone was soft
    And their words encouraging
    There was a time when carbs were fine
    And MFP was a song
    And MFP friends were inviting
    Then it all…went…wrong

    I dreamed a dream in bandwidth gone by
    When motivation was high
    And logging on worth doing
    I dreamed the MFP site would never die
    I dreamed the Mods would be forgiving
    Then I was a noob and unafraid
    And strikes were made and used and wasted
    There was no reason to be made

    No post untrolled
    No joke unwasted
    But the bullies come at night
    With their mean words soft as thunder
    As they tear your hope apart
    And turn your gurney to shame

    I created my account on New Years night
    MFP filled my days with endless distraction
    It took my productivity in real life
    But it was gone when I deactivate
    And still I dream I’ll recreate
    That we’ll live our days online
    But there are dreams that cannot be
    And there are threads we cannot weather
    I had a dream my MFP experience would be
    So different from this hell I’m reading
    So different now from what it seemed
    Now your thread has killed
    The dream I dreamed

    try to eat so you can be active after your meal

    so smaller portions and do ex: jumping jacks , leg lifts

    after.
  • I eat good meals . I just eat to much and everytime I go on a diet or try to change my life style I HATE IT!!!! I feel hungry all the time and I can't eat something if it doesn't taste good. I love to cook and me and my bf love food . Everytime I try to change I get so depressed about food. I want to still be able to eat the foods I love ( I don't eat fast food) . Help !!!

    I used to be just like this. First off, you need to flip your switch. Start to mentally change your view on food. That's the pep talk you give yourself. No food is bad but you've got to start teaching yourself to eat to live not live to eat. So start telling yourself (outloud perferrably) that no food is bad, but the portion sizes have to go. It's okay to love food but not okay to love food so much that you're making a meal for 4 people and finishing the whole meal yourself (that was my problem, I'd cook for 2 or 3 with leftovers available and my little family would finish the whole meal in one sitting instead of having leftovers).

    I've found a sensitivity to wheat (probably the gluten) so I've had to cut back on that but otherwise, I eat everything I like to eat. I pay attention to my portions and I find the other things that I am willing to do in order to "splurge". If I know I'm going to have a high calorie meal, then I also know that I have to adjust what I'm going to eat the rest of the day and/or add more exercise to my day (depending on my constraints and my previous workouts this could be just cardio or it could be a cardio and weight regimen).

    The other thing you could do, is immediately after preparing your meal (if it's for more than just you or the two of you) is to put the "leftovers" immediately into a container and into the fridge. It's tougher to eat more than your portion if you package it up and save it for another day.

    All the meats you'd mentioned are essentially good for you in moderation (so don't sit down to a 20 oz venison steak for just yourself, 6 oz is enough and 8 oz if you're really splurging). Add veggies (non-starchy veggies for the most part as they are lower calorie and higher fiber) maybe create a nice fruit reduction sauce and voila you've got a great meal.

    You can do this!!!!!!

    OP, I just wanted to offer some real advice -- a lot of us don't like twigs and berries. Some of us are really into tossed salads. Others, taco eaters.

    It doesn't matter what you like to eat, as long as you log your food and stay within or close to your calorie/marco goals. Don't fall for the 1,200 calorie trap -- you can easily have 1,500-1,700 -- more if you work out. You will find that A LOT of the people who know things on this site are ALSO jokers. Learn to laugh when you inadvertently say something funny. Accept that is part of the the process. It totally is.

    Oh, dear....

    Well, I just have one piece of advice that's stuck with me so far. Think of this not as a DIET change, but a LIFESTYLE change. What you eat and do each day has to be *sustainable* in the long run or you'll just gain the weight back. That's why fad diets and 2-hour days at the gym every day usually don't work for people, because they return to old habits as soon as they see change and slide back. I would go crazy if I had to completely eliminate things! I still eat mostly the same, but am working on slow changes and try to exercise more so that I can eat what I would like. Feel free to add me as a friend so we can encourage each other :)
