8lbs in two weeks! Way to go....no cheeseburger. Maybe you can find a substitute - like a turkey burger or something. I didn't think you had to give all that up if you were on Weight Watchers, you just had to calculate the points. Good luck and keep up the good work. On a side note...maybe you could workout really hard and build up some extra points to have a small cheeseburger but just a small one :)

I echo the turkey burger suggestion. Prepared correctly, they are a great substitute for a burger. I don't see why you couldn't put cheese on it as long as you had the points...cheese is good for you in appropriate amounts. Lean ground beef might also be an option.
For either the lean ground turkey (breast preferably) or the lean ground beef mix an egg (or egg white) in with the meat before making the patties and it will keep the burger moist (something the fat normally does).
As for the greasy part...after you've not had greasy stuff for a while it will probably not be something you want anymore.

You should be able to have a cheeseburger and pizza on WW, but the challenge is to keep it at a realistic portion! I hope you get to have your pizza and cheeseburger soon!
