Looking for friends around my age group
Hiya! I'm 17. (I know I'm technically not supposed to be here :( but my birthday is in 9 days) I'm 5'3, 125 lbs from the US and trying to get fit and lose 10 lbs or so. This is my 4th day here. I'm a vegetarian who hopes to transition to vegan within the next year or so. Nice to meet you! :)

Help with Cravings?
I'm a big sugar addict. I'm trying to count calories and focus on NOT eating processed sugar. However, that's exactly the type of sugar I crave. When I give into these cravings I tend to binge on them. I'm eating a lot of fruit in my diet, but it's not satiating my desire to eat the unhealthy sugars (candy bars, ice cream,…
