Hey, Newbie-tastic....

My names Jen, Im 25 years old from Glasgow in Scotland and I teach sexual health and relationships education to young people (well, younger than me!). Im about to embark on a VLCD (Very Low Calorie Diet) programme which is basically Slimfast for Sadists and is meal replacement with shakes, and soups and bars plus 4 ltrs of water a day.

Its medically monitored, there no alcohol or anything (Ive joined a library to combat the lack of drinking, I'll be the best read person this side of the equator) and theres basically no real food, its more nutrients disguised as food!

But yeah, its going to be a challenge, but Im up for it!
