My thoughts? ABSOLUTELY! Go for it. The only reason I'd say not to is for mental or emotional reasons. I know for some people it's hard to consider it a diet when they eat ice cream. It kinda psyches them out. Also, some people consider dieting to be a healthy choice, and do not even touch ice cream, even if they are in calorie range because it's a "sweet" and it's not healthy. But I can tell if you want it, you are not doing that type of diet! SO... GO FOR IT!0

I am with you - I have a cone with vanilla and toffee ice cream most days. it is within my calories but I do not count it as nutricious. I also usually have it after dinner to avoid the potential of blood sugar spikes. I have noticed if I have a biscuit at work - within my calories I enjoy it but feel very hungry when the sugar rush goes down again.
Bottom line - do what works for you - good luck with it.0 -
I am not a DR, but I say trust your instincts! I think ANYthing in moderation can be positive0

its fine as long as you don't go throwing all kinds of toppings on there, you are good to go0

You have to do what works for you otherwise you won't continue with the program. That's what I think anyway.0

Two Words - Yoo Moo, frozen yogurt! great taste and only 151cals a pot!0

I allow myself one treat a day, because if i dont have something sweet once in a while I always end up binging. So I think that having ice cream in a cone everyday is fine as long as you're eating healthy for the rest of the day0

I have a sweet thing every single day. I've lost nearly 60lbs and kept it off for almost 2 years. For me, trying to restrict myself too much feels like a 'diet' and causes me to want to binge eat!
This is the only life we're going to get... you have to remember to ENJOY it!0 -
Love the 3-2-1 cake. It really works for me. How do you count that on MFP? Is there an easy way?0

Go for it!! If it fits in your cals, no problem! I usually eat frozen yogurt at the end of the day if I'm under my goal, but I occasionally eat ice cream instead. I prefer the frozen yogurt because of the lower fat content.0

I see nothing wrong with it. We have tons of fantastic Italian ice cafes where I live and as the weather starts to warm up I will be going more often. I have a few rules though: #1 I MUST walk to the ice cafe, not drive or take the bus and #2 no alcoholic ice cream until I am in maintenance phase. It also helps that I love McD's ice cream. I skip the cone because I don't really like them and why waste calories (less calories in McD's ice cream than Italian Ice)
As for the eating 1200 cal. I have no idea how tall you are or what your weight loss goals are. If you've done the (bmr x activity level) - 500 cals that can come out to 1200 for shorter gals. Mine is about 1400 so that's only 200 more.0
