New girl!

Hi, new girl. I'm 31, from the North East of England and I've been trying to lose weight for ten years now, but just ended up doubling the amount I need to lose! I have three children and a husband, and I run a cupcake business from home. I have tried several diets, but have decided to give the 5:2 diet a go, as I only ever manage to stick to a diet for one or two days, I figured this one would be perfect for me! As I work from home, i get quite lonely, which is one of my comfort eating triggers, so I'm hoping to make some friends on here!

Hi I'm also in the north east and doing my first week of 5:2 combined with slimming world so far so good. I admire u trying to resist those cupcakes

Hi Cupcake,

It must be hard trying to lose weight when you're always baking cakes, I'd be eating them all as I make them! I hope you make some good friends on here. I'm not doing the 5:2 diet, I'm doing slimming world, but I'm sure there's a forum especially for 5:2.

Good luck,
Amy

Hi guys, usually I'm good at resisting the cakes, they are lovely, but after making them for years, you do get a bit bored of them. Challenge is when I'm making new flavours, and I have to keep testing them!
