Esther's Mix and Match

[Esther Fester]

So, after following extra easy for four weeks and losing not that much I decided to start following red and green instead with a couple of EE instead and lost 3lbs this week! Overjoyed. So I have decided to start a food diary to keep myself on track and also maybe give you some ideas.
