    If you are craving the cheese, maybe try some string cheese melted on your veggies?

    I agree with allowing yourself the slice with a salad. I have pizza at times...try to make it veggie pizza..happens to be what I like and even when I do go overboard with it once in awhile, there is no major damage done...some water weight fromt he sodium that is flushed out with some extra water the next day. I don't believe in depriving myself for my goals...there are foods I can let go of no problem, there are others that I will have when I desire in moderation...it is a lifestyle and it has to be something that can be lived with.

    I'd have a little sad frowny face if I "almost" ate pizza, too.

    I've had pizza (usually half of a Digiorno Rising Crust) at least once a week, every week, since I started on here. It was one of my dealbreakers... I didn't want to feel deprived and that anything was off limits. I'd rather work harder to earn enough calories and have the double bonus of being insanely fit and athletic AND enjoying what I was eating. :smile:

    I had pizza for breakfast this morning. I don't think it is a big deal as I am a believer in calories in/calories out. Whenever I try to "diet" and not eat the food I want because it might have a high fat or carb content I fail. When I eat what I want in moderation, while eating within my MFP calorie goal, I am much more successful at not going on binge and eating a ton of crap. Whatever works for each person, so good for you!

    WHAT A GREAT JOB!!! Actions like this are what will give you results!


    I can't believe people are telling you to eat pizza! That cracks me up! This is a lifestyle change. You are doing great.


    To all who told her to eat pizza as a reward....she said she is trying to NOT eat cheese and bread for awhile. I'm sure she does treat herself every now and then, but this cracks me up. You cant always eat what you want.

    Abs are made in the kitchen...eating clean foods....

    Amen!

    You can always eat what you want if you plan well and hit your macros with room to spare. And you're right abs are made in the kitchen, by creating a caloric deficit you will lose bodyfat. "Clean" foods are not a necessity to lose bodyfat

    I agree with a lot of other people, one slice with a nice salad as a main meal is fine( If you can trust yourself to just stop at one!) A lifestyle change doesn't mean you have to give up totally on things you love.It's just training yourself to portion control unhealthy treats. This way you are more likely to keep to it long term. saying that well done for having will power! Keep up the good work.

    I just had a serving of organic margherita pizza. 220 calories and 8 grams of fat. I think it's a happy medium. I get my pizza fix but it's not horribly bad for you.

    I had a greasy piece this morning for breakfast. Pizza can be okay. If you have choice go for thin crust and veggies.

    There's nothing wrong with having a slice of pizza every now and then. I don't see the point in depriving yourself. Honestly, it's just going to make you miserable in the end.

    I agree with the other suggestions. A slice of pizza and a salad. That sounds good!

    I have one day a week when I ignore my calorie goal and eat whatever I want (I still record it). Makes being good on other days easy

    i had pizzq yesterday. I have been doing this for the last 15 months. I eat everything i want... Not in the quantity i want or as often as i want. What ever float your boat but just make sure the ”lifestyle” do not end up with a binge.

    Why not eat one slice plus a side salad? Losing weight doesn't have to be about deprivation.

    This....^^^^ This is your life and NOT a diet. It isn't about deprivation. It is more about moderation. Having a slice of pizza isn't the end of the world. You can't live your life having foods that are off limits or telling yourself "No! You can't have _____". This will lead to resentment and eventually? You'll likely have a big ole binge on all the "No" foods.

    amen to this.

    What's wrong with eating pizza? I eat half a pizza from Domino's for a meal every week. If it fits in our calories, why does it matter? A large slice of cheese pizza from Domino's is like 220 calories.

    Good for you in resisting temptation. When you are allowing yourself to eat cheese and bread again, look for thin crust and healthier alternatives. Some of the chain pizzerias give nutritional info so you can make healthier choices. Just make sure your boyfriend and others who you will be eating with know what your current goals are so you can all find a happy medium :)

    cheese is my problem too. instead of depriving yourself or indulging in that grease bomb, do what i did today. i had a 1/2 sandwich slim with seasoned tomato sauce, mushrooms and a weight watchers string cheese shredded up on top. tasted like pizza and i wasn't bad at all!
