Hi Carol,

I'm in Christchurch and just started cold turkey on Sunday/Monday after getting back from my honeymoon. As I adjust to it I'm just eating whatever I feel like cooking but I'm hoping to combine it with Eat To Live after the first couple of weeks.
My wife is happy enough about me doing it (anything to lose the 10-15kgs or so that I would like to), but my workmates are all of the opinion that we need to graze and eat more often all day, so I get a bit of stick in the office.
So, there is at least two of us doing Fast-5 in NZ :)

Regards
Tony
