Nothing wrong with taking a year to lose weight. Slow and steady wins the race, and develops sustainable habits in the process as well.
Sustainable habits and a healthier relationship with food, for sure.
Yes, and the thing is, a year or two from now she'll likely be trying to lose the weight again that she regained because of her attitude towards food. But most of the people here giving her advice will have maintained their weight loss.

Not trying to starve myself I'm trying to make healthier choices. Try it sometime. When you're not eating pizza, try swapping it for a turkey sandwhich(healthy filling calories)
I like to make my own pizza with a thin whole wheat crust, chicken or shrimp, fresh tomato slices and goat cheese or fresh mozzarella. Maybe a bit of red onion...a sprinkling of spinach or arugula on top...a little balsamic glaze...
I admit, it's a lot more work than ordering Papa John's, but it's also amazingly delicious and healthy pizza.
I'm failing to see how it's bad for your body. Domino's has gluten free crust. Lots of places have a whole wheat option. Most places have a thin crust option. You can get light cheese, lots of veggies, and a lighter protein like chicken or Canadian bacon. You can also stick to smaller sizes instead of getting the giant pie just because you have a coupon.

Not all pizza has pepperoni on it. Don't get me wrong, I love pepperoni, but you need to broaden your pizza horizons! There's a whole world of thin crust, whole wheat, veggie pizzas just begging to be discovered.
Some pizzas even have pineapple.
real talk, thin crust pizza (regular crust, not that whole wheat crap), with grilled chicken and tomatoes as toppings and i get my craving for pizza satisfied, hit my protein macros, and can hit my calorie budget if I don't eat the whole thing (hahahaha, i ALWAYS eat the whole thing, be we talkin theoreticals up in this piece). admittedly, i'm a bigger guy with a large calorie goal, but my point is that people can have a real pizza and still stay on track.
well, people that aren't the OP, of course.
That's my kind of pizza, too. Sprinkle a little feta on top and some baby spinach and yum.

Well, this is patently ridiculous. Tell you what - you just send me all of the pizza you are eschewing for your 'dream body'. I will happily eat it and continue to look and feel good, mmmmkay?0 -

Yep. But I guess we were all 19 once... (Thinking we knew everything at the time, of course.)0 -

How is white bread bad for your body? And it's easy to work 285-570 calories into a day. Also, I've had four turkey sandwiches in the past ten days and bought some more today. Like I said before, moderation is the key. I wouldn't have lost 55+ pounds if I had deprived myself of the things I love.
You honestly think bread that is processed from 100% artificial ingredients isn't bad for you? http://authoritynutrition.com/why-is-bread-bad-for-you/
The first ingredient listed for Wonderbread is "whole wheat flour".
Please explain more about this "100% artificial ingredients" bread. Where does this artificial flour come from? Plastic wheat fields, perhaps? Do you have even the slightest idea what in the hell you're talking about, or do you just like to hear yourself make noise?0 -
I'm not going to gain weight back because I'm not doing a diet. I'm doing a life style change. Yeah cheat days are fine every now and then, but there's no way I could be proud of myself if I ate whatever I wanted when I wanted. Maybe that's your goal, but that's not mine0

I feel like complete crap when I eat pizza. Regardless how much I eat of it.
thats not pizza's fault that you have some weird mental association with it...
haha nah, no mental association. I just know my buddy.
no one here is interested in your sex life
you sure bro?
fair point. carry on0 -

Do you have a peer-reviewed journal study that proves this? The entire website you linked to is propaganda to make you think certain foods are bad.0 -

I don't know anyone who has successfully changed their lifestyle without also changing how they feel about "bad" foods, "cheat days," and guilt. And I mean this sincerely.0 -

....The ingredients in the pizza dough recipe I posted earlier:
- 1/2 tsp sugar (oh noes)
- dry yeast
- bread flour
- cornmeal
- extra virgin olive oil
- salt
.....yep it's so artificial I might just die... :huh:

If everybody were able to practice "moderation" as preached on MFP, then they probably would not be trying to lose weight. Some foods are triggers and not as healthy as others. Most pizza is sodium laden, cheese laden, and some people find it difficult to eat just 2 slices. Leave the poor girl alone, geez.barefoot_brunette wrote: »So much hate for just trying to make healthy decisions wow.

Enjoying the foods you love in moderation is also part of a healthy lifestyle. Many people who cut out the things they love (pizza, sweets, chips) end up binging on them eventually. You can have the apple as well as the "unhealthy" things.

Whatever you say. I was 19 once too, and did many lifestyle changes during that period in my life. They weren't sustainable though because they were based on restriction. When you know better, you do better. Nine times out of ten, "diets" or "lifestyle changes" that are based around restriction will lead to the person quitting and falling back into old habits.

I'm proud of myself for having a healthy relationship with food. Maybe that's why I only have about 15 lbs to lose. I'm proud of my cooking skills, and ability to make very healthy low-cal foods that are amazingly delicious. Including pizza.
But I still love Papa John's buffalo chicken pizza rather a lot.0
