Hi Claire. We are all new on this thread either just started or starting. Maybe you could speak to your cdc and see if there is anyone you could buddy up with locally, we seem to be all over the uk on this site, but it does help lots, just chatting to others in the same boat, I started on tuesday, so first wi tomorrow. never done anything like this before, but hoping quick results will be better for me than the long haul of other diets. heres hoping, and I've not found it too hard doing ss+
