A healthy rate of weight loss for a teen is 1 pound a week. You do need to give it time. Remember, your body is growing and developing - it is going through a lot of changes, so you need to make sure you are giving it the proper nutrients and calories. Losing weight too quickly is not healthy for your growth and development, so please be a little more patient with yourself.
It is ok to have a treat from time to time - just so it's not all the time. This is about creating healthy habits so you will have a healthy lifestyle which will keep you from having to go on/off of diets. Slow and steady wins the race!
