Today is day 12 on my weight loss journey, and I haven't cheated at all so I decided to indulge a little bit last night. I managed to save up enough calories to eat half a thin crust Dominos pizza (800 calories), fully accepting the fact that I would probably bloat up and maybe temporarily gain a pound from it. Anyway, the pizza was totally worth it, sooo good!
This morning I decided to weigh myself, just to see how if I gained a pound like I expected I would. Well, to my surprise when I weighed this morning I was down 1.4 pounds from yesterday! I was shocked; I never lost that much in one night! I was so excited that I just wanted to share it on here. I am also now more confident in my calorie plan and motivated to stick to it.
Not saying you should eat pizza every night, but as long as you stay within your calorie limit you really can treat yourself every now and then!
I am on a 1600 calorie plan. Today is day 12 and I've lost 6.4 pounds so far.

Congrats on your weight loss so far! And, mmmm pizza. I had a SW of 229 as well at 5'7" and am down to 199 today. The idea of "dieting" always freaked me out because I could never imagine never having all of the awesome but terrible for me food but have been doing well at still having it, just not allllllllll the time. Plus, nachos and pizza taste better when you've earned them, lol.0

Thanks! And congrats on your weight loss as well, that is awesome! Funny that we both started at 229.
I agree about feeling deprived of awesome foods. I am so glad it doesn't have to be that way!0 -
Well done! Pizza has always been kind to me - I weigh daily, and whenever I dig into a pie the impact always seems to be minimal - never figured out why, but I'm not going to complain!

Dominos thin crust is delicious! I had some at work party this week.
Is half the small size pizza 800?
