ready to loose the baby weight

Hi just started about a week ago. Hoping to loose 20-25 LBS that is left over from my last baby. He is now going to be 8 months the end of Jan so I figured now was the time. Been doing really well with eating and exercising. Have lost 3 lbs already, which is great, but am now starting to miss some of my favorite snack and dinner selections. Any great secrets how to bypass those cravings?
