Hi & welcome. Are you following extra easy or green?

 

[Lauren31]

I am going to follow extra easy?? It seems pretty straight forward, but just grateful with any extra help given to me? X

Although I've been following s/w for some time I've only just started on e/e in the last couple of weeks, so still trying to get to grips with it, prior to that I mostly did green days with the odd one or two red ones. I mostly seemed to get my best results on green, despite the amount of carbs (I used to be scared of carbs! lol) The bloated feeling could well just be your body getting used to your new eating regime. Please feel free to have a look at my food diary, the link is below, it may help you. Although I have had a recent blip, I previously got to target and maintained it for 18 months..the longest so far, I only have to lose 4lbs to get back there again. Also this site is great for help and tips. Good luck

Hi Caroline and welcome. Up until a couple of weeks ago when I decided to try extra easy, I found it easier to follow green. Re adding a diary link to your signature...Lauren, you might want to consider this too -
go to your diary thread, copy the web address from the top of the page e.g www.minimins.com/......., go to user cp and edit your signature and paste the address into your signature, save signature (you can preview first before saving) hope I've explained it ok!

We can all help each other
