HiAll,
Just a musing really. Originally, back 6 years ago I had really good success on sw - this was the days before Extra Easy.
After having my second child and joining again at the beginning of this year, I gave Extra Easy a go. It felt wrong having associated SW with Green/Original. Anyway it did not seem to be very successful for me in comparison, i.e. half a pound a week if i was lucky!
I got dismayed with the whole plan and basically had about 5 weeks off when i managed to GAIN 6.5 pounds. I decided that from that moment on i was going back 'old school' and doing red and green, so this is what i did and i returned to class. Since then things have been much quicker and i have certainly felt much more in control and that the plan made more 'sense'.
When i first when back 'old school' I was alternating Green and Original and this was working ok. I prefer Red days though as I love fish and seafood!
So for the last two weeks I have been exclusively following Red day and I suppose I am kind of questioning if this is sustainable in the longer term. It seems to suit me better but wondering if next week i should mix it up a bit just to keep the variation going.
Does anyone else exclusively follow the red plan? How do you find it?
Thanks for reading this ramble but I would be really interested to see if anyone else is in a similar mindset to me!
(also i get the impression that sw might not encourage exclusively original plan and they seem to promote EE much more, which i kind of understand) .
