I know what you mean about wishing for a weather change. I've done almost all my running in the gym on the treadmill since summer arrived (I'm in Texas...it's difficult to run outdoors with a 100 degree heat index).
Congrats on the non-scale victories.

I did not really have any bad cravings. Savory things like delicious soup broth really tasted good to me.

Erm.. by "solids" I mean purees, soft, mushy, etc. "Real food" rather than just liquids.

Yogurt may be too thick for this early. Usually full liquids is milk-consistency. That second week I was sipping a tablespoon at a time all.day.long. Third week purees.. 2 spoonfuls of blended up split pea soup and I was FULL!
On liquids I didn't worry about meal times etc. I had goals to meet and it took 12 hours of constant consumption to meet them.
When you get to solids, the designated meal times makes sense.

Another tip is to not eat longer than 20min. I'm still not allowed to use more than 20min to eat, and I'm almost 5 months out. By prolonging the time you eat, it leads to eating more. maybe not now, but it will later.
I portion everything out. My meals are not larger than 5 oz in volume. Salads I can eat more, but I measure my protein out first.
