    I'm missing chocolate cakes... cupcakes with frosting. I've been at this for 2 weeks now and for me I am trying to eat healthier for the rest of my life, so I do not see it as a diet. But I am a serious food lover and enjoy baking - and eating what I bake. Is there anybody out there that still eat some of their favourite 'naughty' food and still lose weight? Cheers mi dears :D
    But it is a diet because you're abstaining from actual foods you like to eat. A lifestyle would be one where you can eat what you like, but control how much of it you eat and make sure you meet your macro/micro nutrient and calorie goals.

    Yes. The only food I have that is off limits, is the food I don't like the taste of.

    Fit it into your day, exercise to work for it, or accept that one treat occasionally isn't going to ruin your progress.

    Just came off a week's vacation by family where there were treats offered constantly. I had some in moderation and not all the time. I tried to fit in some exercise although it was not my usual amount or routine. I made sure I logged my food. I finished my vacation with a slight loss. :)

    Yes, my grocery store had TastyKake pies on sale 10 for $10.00. Husband says, we don't need them. I said but I am going to have 1 and that is all. So I got the tasty-klaire pie and it was really good. And I did log it!

    If you don't give your self a little leeway....you might lose it all and eat everything in sight.

    Yes. Yes I do. I had one today, actually.

    I still indulge sometimes. But I also ran 60 minutes today, burning over 760 calories. So...... I earned my cupcake?

    I have a chocolate chip cookie everyday...fresh baked and a little underdone. I've also lost almost 30 pounds. It's okay to indulge...in moderation. :) I'd go CRAZY if I cut out anything I love!

    I totally agree with some of the advices. Depriving yourself from stuff you love, will result in craving.. And you do not want that to happen.. Therefore, eat whatever you like, simply make sure you are within your calorie. However, I would not advice eating greasy stuff all the time though.. Once in a while, it's perfectly okay.. :) Enjoy..

    I still treat myself to stuff often. I don't want to deprive myself for the rest of my life. I just do an extra workout or eat great the rest of the day.

    I do love to bake as well, but I find that if I need to bake something I keep some and give it away. I send it to work with my husband or school with my kids. I give it to people who have helped, bring them to play dates, etc. I still get to bake, I still get to give my kids yummy treats, but I don't have to have 4 doz cookies or 2 doz cupcakes in the house to tempt me.

    P.S. - I believe in moderation, not deprivation.

    @jckratt12 - thanks so much. It is nice to have other peoples opinions on such a topic, especially people that are still losing or are maintaining. Thank you all. I had a Flap jack today and no guilt. As half of you said - 'log it and move on' :D
