Thread: Im taking the plunge.....

Hello everyone!

Well, starting tomorrow im taking the plunge and giving EE a go! Im nervous and excited at the same time!

I bought the cookbook last week and i really like the look of the food in there so im in the process of planning my evening meals and lunches for the next 6 days as we speak.

Im going to post my plan up so if anyone has made these dishes before me any feedback/tips would be great.

I had a STS at weigh in tonight which i good as its * week and i always gain on * week. Im a bit nervous in case i put on whilst doing EE but sod it, i can always get it back off again by switching back the original plans. I need a bit of a shake up and to try some new recipes so this seems perfect for me, plus everyone in class is always raving about it so its about time i joined in the fun!

Wish me luck folks!!

Good luck, hon. Not that you need it!
EE is fantastic. I will never to red/green again as I have the best of both worlds on EE and still losing!

go for it you will love it

ee is great for the stuff you like in green and red

I'm totally biased, but you all know that! Good luck! Enjoy your food!

Good luck and you should enjoy the meals from cookbook as i did, bit of advice though, if you cook the chicken noodle soup, once you put the noodles in i thought the stock went very quick , but i did half the ingredients as only me eating it but do keep eye on it and its lovely. Good luck

Hey Donnie, what have you made so far on EE, have you got the cookbook?

I love extra easy, I dont think I could do either just red or green days. Good luck with EE, you will be fine
