    Day 1 - What should I do?

    Good Luck Hi i tend to have one shake in the morning 8 or 9 am, then my next at 6-7pm with the final (usually soup) about 9.30pm because that suits my habits - i usually feel more tempted later in the day sat in front of the telly.

    Places to go Sonkie, especially for you - some choice of clubs/late pubs in bath from itchy bitchy Po Na Na, Bath For some reason, the vast majority of Bath's clubs are underground sweat holes. Po Na Na is their proud, sweaty overlord: on busy nights (and they all are) you can't move in...
