    I am 5'4'' and weigh 230lbs, female.

    I eat 1500-1600 calories everyday; have been taking 10,000 steps almost daily for the last 2 weeks. The thing is, I feel so hungry all the time. I do eat fruits and veggies as much as I can. I also have a thing with sugar addiction; I quit for about 15 days,and Incorporated it back 10 days ago, and I am still struggling with cravings of sugar, especially after meals.

    Please advise.

    That is not an addiction - it's a habit. I used to be the same way about eating. Always had to have my "sweet" thing after a meal. That is pure learned behavior, not an addiction. You unlearn it the same way - making a habit of not eating dessert every single time you eat. Once in a while, yes.

    For now,I am just having a bit of fruit when I feel that I need to have something sweet. I am trying to wean off the habit.

    That's good. It is difficult, I know!

    I am hungry this morning after a brisk walk. I find a handful of almonds and a big mug of tea (with stevia) helps to keep me going until my next proper meal.

    If I understand correctly, you are claiming a 7000 calorie a week deficit, so you want to lose 2 pounds a week? I think this is very unrealistic. I have lost 50 pounds over 30 months. That's less than a half pound a week. Maddeningly slow, but I got here, never suffered, and no risk of backsliding. Dial it down, persist, and you'll be fine!

    I keep a 600 cal deficit thru diet; the rest is more or less thru exercise.
