What have you been eating?

I know many people think you can eat all the pizza you want and lose weight as long as you are in a caloric deficit... But considering salt and other factors...

You just can't I'm sorry to say, you will be fighting the battle every week to get the water weight off...

I'm not saying this is what you are doing, obviously I dk...
But if your diet is unhealthy, in my experience, this is what happens...

Complete and utter nonsense. I lost 50lbs by eating occasional pizza, hamburgers, fries, chicken strips, wings, cake, ice cream, and anything else I wanted. You absolutely CAN lose weight eating pizza as long as you remain in a calorie deficit.

Keyword... Occasional
I did too, but if you eat this stuff every day... Good luck
Unless we are talking like 1 slice a day and that's it...

Except a while ago there was a thread from a dude who ate only pizza for months and lost weight.

Also the dude who lost 30 lbs eating only twinkies, and the various people who have lost weight eating only different kinds of fast food.

People's real life experiences directly contradict your claims.

Do you realize how many threads like this one pop up every day on here... What about their experience...

Where did OP say that she was eating pizza daily?

If anything, OP's post makes me think that she's trying to eat well -- she made a point of saying that if she has a "cheat snack" it's within her cals, for example.

So her post in no way supports the idea that daily pizza within one's cals causes weight gain.

And as I said, my experience says other wise...
Which is more valid to me than some Professor with an agenda...

Granted it's not to you, but I'm offering my opinion here...

For all those who claim this isn't working for them and there are many... Your choice of food matters

No I'm not saying you can never eat pizza... But good looking sticking to a calorie deficit eating food engineered to make you eat more...

But OP says she's trying to eat healthy, maybe having a cheat snack, and staying under her calories. So clearly eating pizza every day pushing her over her calorie goal isn't the issue.

The food you eat can affect how easy or hard it is to stick to your calorie goal (and obviously may affect your health and fitness), but if you stick to the correct calorie goal, what you ate to get there will not affect fat loss.

OP, how are you measuring your portions? Do you check the entries you are choosing in the database to make sure the calories are correct? Are you logging everything everyday (beverages, condiments, cooking oil, cheat snacks)?

How much weight do you need to lose to get to a healthy weight?

Hang in there!

Do you think people just keeping gaining more water weight each week from salt until they explode into a flurry of water droplets?

OP, have you had your thyroid checked? Or could your inability to lose lbs. be related to any other health issue you might not be aware of?
How many more lbs. do you want to lose; were you losing okay up until November?
It's hard to get a clear picture because so many people are very skewed(that's not really the word I want but the only one that came to mind )with their self-image. Using me as an Ex. I still 'feel' fat a lot of the time but know I'm not. Could it be that you 'feel' bigger than your friends but in reality, you're not? IDK.
Otherwise, all I can offer is to log in your CICO through MFP and be true to yourself and your numbers, see how it goes from there. Good luck!!
Good luck!!
