    For me my sweet tooth fixer is Walls mini milk ice creams!!!!

    They are only 30 calories with 0.7 grams of fat and they come in three yummy flavours. It's a treat win-win without falling off the healthy lifestyle wagon.

    I hope this helps :) x

    Thank you for responding! I'm so frustrated.

    I'm 5'2 and currently weight 166 lbs. I'm working out 6 days a week. 3 days of weight training and 3 days of cardio. You say 1200 is too few.. some days I do go up to 1400. What would you suggest for calories? And do you really think this is why I'm not losing? I don't think 8 lbs in 3 weeks is good at all.. I thought it would come off much quicker!

    WHAT?!?! 8lbs in 3 weeks is fatntastic! 2lbs a week is really good seriously. Don't rush it b/c you have a higher chance of gaining it back. Just relax. You're doign awesome!

    Awww... You guys are great! Thanks so much for the positive comments. Maybe I am being too pessimistic. At least I'm losing weight and not gaining anymore!

    Also, Thanks for the comments about the thyroid meds. Maybe I do need to give it more time for them to work and regulate my metabolism!

    Good luck to everyone! I'm glad I found this site. It helps to have people who are going thru the same challenges!

    With you on this one!
    Skinny Cow ice cream sandwiches and fat free pudding cups. A small stash of chocolate for the really rough days, but I only allow one or two squares.
    Also, if I've been a really good girl, fat free frozen yogurt.

    The skinny cow ice cream that everyone is talking about is really good.. Also i buy the mini fudsicles or ice cream sandwiches on 70/80 calories for when I have to have something sweet...

    Schwan's whole frozen blueberries with a touch of splenda - satisfies my sweet tooth and that little devil in me that likes frozen treats!

    :love: Loooooove sweets!! What I do is basically leave room for a PIECE of chocolate, salt water taffy, apple with cinnamon, iced coffee with skim and splenda, OR yogurt with fruit! Just make sure you leave room for it (with calories && carbs!!)

    Eat really small portions and really small bites.

    For example. I love oreos. I take one or two (about 45 cal each). and nibble on it. I like to leave it on my toungue until it melts so the taste lingers. :) You could do that with the tip of a cake or a pie. IDK, just a suggestion.

    Sadly the weight doesn't come off as quickly as it seemed to go on =( 8lbs in 3 weeks is great, I usually lose a pound a week if I'm lucky!

    I have a terrible sweet tooth too. I don't keep any Ice cream, cookies, desserts, chocolate, etc. in my house at all because I have NO SELF CONTROL. That being said, since I have removed it all from my house, I've really cracked down on my sugar intake, and I've found that I don't crave it anymore. My Mother in law left some Reese's PB cups in my freezer, and I didn't even give them a second glance.

    I think that once you really reduce your intake of processed sugars, you'll notice you aren't craving them so much anymore.
