Hi everyone, so I have been on the extra easy plan for 3 weeks now, the 1st week i lost nothing. My leader put it down to me eating toomany bananas and mullerlights. I cut down on these the 2ns week and lost 2lbs. Then this week I have put 2lbs back on. I am seriously upset...I love the diet so...

Weighed in tonight and have lost 2lbs which I am happy with, i think the no loss on my first week must have been the eating 4 bananas and 3-4 mullerlights a days, only having one of each a day all this week. Was hoping I would have lost a bit more but I suppose 2lbs is still a good loss, better...
