I'm a newbie too!

Hi,

I'm going to start my 5:2 diet tomorrow; that is my first fast day will be tomorrow.
I had my 2nd child 11 weeks ago and need to lose weight.
I'm 5'2" (160cm) and 12 stone. I'm struggling to fit back into my size 12 jeans and have had to resort to buying 1 pair of size 14 jeans until I can fit into my old clothes again.
Ideally I'd like to lose two stone, but I'll see where this new lifestyle will take me, you never know there may be a really slim person inside!!

Hi Red, welcome to the forum!

Congratulations on your new baby! Can I just check that you are not breast feeding? if you are, I'd recommend waiting to finish before starting this diet.

Thanks Caroline,

I am still breastfeeding (and intend to for a good while yet) but all the research that I've done before considering this diet doesn't indicate that it is bad for those who are breastfeeding. I would be interested to see if anyone else on this site is breastfeeding and doing the 5:2 diet at the same time.
