    Read somewhere if you crave sweets, eat something salty like a pickle. May be worth a try.

    make your sweets from scratch, and substitute healthy ingredients like whole wheat flour and splenda. If you look up recipes online you can find some that are still decadent, but lower cal and good for you. Don't cut out sweets entirely, but make sure you exercise enough to make up for them. Remember this is not a diet, but a lifestyle change.

    vitamines helped me....I take potassium, b complex, amino complete and a multi. I bought these at a health food store and they have stopped the cravings for sweets and also cramps I would get from dieting. Good Luck:happy:

    I just had a nosey at your food diary... your daily goal is 700 calories?! That's below starvation mode babe. The 1300 odd calories a day you're having is much better for you especially if you tie that into exercise. At first I thought you meant going so much over on a goal like 1200 or so (which is mine) but to go over 700 calories in a day is a good thing!

    Fill up on water and if you need something sweet, add Crystal Light to it. It will fill you up and satisfy your sweet tooth.

    Cutting out sweets is tough. When you crave something like that, it means that you're not getting enough of anything. If you want something sweet, try some fruit like watermelon. Or have a little of what you're craving, but not a whole lot.

    Well a woman's daily recommended allowance is 2,000 hun. Because you're 19 I would call you a young woman and say you're RDA is 2,000 like me. But because you want a certain type of weight loss per week this will obviously become lower, e.g. mine is 1,220 but then with exercise it bumps up to 1,700 some days. If you have it around the 1,200 mark for your goal each day you won't feel bad about your intake because I doubt you'll go over it much, which is the same with me. It means you can have your wee treats here and there :) Now you've got it changed you'll be great, just you wait and see babe :) x

    I'm 5'3"....well....I used to be..I think I shrunk...anyway.....I'm a LOT older than you, but my personal goal for my height is about 130 or so. However, because you are younger, your goal should be a bit less, but it also depends on your body frame. For example, are you petite, big boned, average build?
    I hope this helps.

    You look really great right now. I'm not sure why your weight loss goal is 25 pounds. Looking at your photo makes me wonder why the goal would be that big. I looked at each of your pictures, and aside from an absolutely blessed figure (you are so lucky), I am not seeing 25 pounds to lose. Is that reasonable? And you say that you want your bf to think you're hot. Honey, you are hot right now!!!!! Just want you to be realistic about what you need to lose is all. I say good luck to you.
