Aphil's sweet recipes
 

Hi guys,
My name is aphil, a long time dieter, but kindof new to this website. I am 25 years old and a long time struggler with my weight. I have always had to watch everything I ate to stay at a decent weight. I usually keep it under control, but have just had a baby a couple months ago, so I am trying to lose the pregnancy weight. (I have went from 195 to 190 so far.)
I love food and love to eat- hope you will like these recipes!
