I'll join this! My housemates like to have pizza for dinner about once a week.. I'll skip it and have my own dinner! :)

I feel so motivated. I even hung a sign up in the office that says "30-day no pizza challenge" so everyone knows not to order it! I've got a couple ladies here in the office who are doing the challenge also. Heck, with thanksgiving and christmas around the corner I don't need any extra calories to think about.

ghost! thats an awesome idea! im proud of you for doing it :D

OMG. I'm coming a bit late to this thread, but I'm very intrigued by the idea! I've only had pizza once in the past few months, but I do love it... Especially since I go to school in the Chicago, where I have easy access to THE BEST PIZZA EVER. Ahh!!! Last year, long before I had started my weight loss, I would easily buy a small deep dish pizza (+ a 6-pack of Sprite--might as well give the whole confession) and polish off 2/3 of it in one sitting... Each slice probably has about 500-600 calories! Yuck, I'm disgusted with my former self, heh. But I am extremely proud of the fact that I have not had even a sniff of that delectable pizza since starting school this year! Lol, it hasn't been easy! And since it is so amazingly delicious, I certainly don't plan on never having it ever again, but I'm proud that I've held out for so long. I think I will join this challenge, actually, and then maybe at the very end of it, I'll "reward" myself with some pizza! LOL! :D

I am SO with you on this!!

DAY 13

omg, today is a test of wills. all I want is pizza. my lunch date wants pizza but I talked him out of it. but, pizza is still calling my name. someone talk me down off the pizza!

Just think about the way you'll feel afterward...You'll feel like crap for not having the willpower. You have the power, Ghost. Just say no!

pizza is vile, dripping with oil and fat and sometimes the dough isnt properly cooked and it gives you an upset stomach.

not to mention people have like touched it loads whilst its being made!


i actually love pizza but im trying to help!

oh, thank you Paula...you just solved my problem. Someone does get all touchy feely with those dang toppings. although, I hate living in a small town becasue I know the guy who is going to be making said pizza and I know he's not gross....damit! trying to imagine he doesnt' wash his hands...

Maybe he does wash his hands but drops greasy black (brown, blonde... ) hairs in his pizza instead. Even if he wears a cap, they can always jump away right on your pizza, isn't that gross?

LOL I was just thinking about this thread the other day!! And wondering if everyone had stuck to it... So far, I'm solid! But I haven't had to face any real temptation, either. My family ordered pizza over Thanksgiving, but I was pretty easily able to resist it because it really wasn't my favorite kind (so why bother wasting all those calories, y'know?), and I really just wanted to eat something healthy for dinner that day since I'd eaten some junk the day before, heh. Anyways, GREAT JOB staying away from that pizza for the first 13 days, ghost! You're doing great so far; I know you can make it through all 30 days! Keep it up!!! :cheer3:

ew...hairs...

Great job on avoiding pizza right in your face Meredith! You are my hero of the day.

yeah uh I failed miserably on this challenge.

^LOL Leighish, I'm sure you're not the only one; you're just the only one brave enough to admit it... ;) To be honest, I figured everyone would have forgotten about this by now! Since it was ghost's original goal, though, I'm really glad that she's been sticking to it! (Yea, ghost!!) And I just decided to do it for fun, since pizza isn't really a trigger food for me (anymore) and I figured it wouldn't be too hard to avoid it. But once those 30 days are up, if I want some pizza, you better believe I'm gonna have it!

haha! I didn't forget about it, I just had pizza about 2 days after I said I wouldn't.... :( What can I say, it's totally my weakness.....
