Welcome aboard. You'll find lots of friendly and helpful people here.

I see we have a few things in common..roughly same age, living in the country, AND a desire to make improvements in our lives.

How are you making out this week?

If you feel icky, that's the normal part of induction. It will pass in a few days. Just keep drinking that water, and make sure you take a good multivitamin, potassium to replace what's lost with all the water output, and calcium-magnesium to help out with leg cramps.

Good luck on your journey. And never be afraid to ask questions!
