Hello all.

Been reading around and after 3 years of PFS (and having been lucky enough to see improvements in that time) I'm rather sick of it. I realised earlier in the year that cold showers (of all things) just felt like a benefit, so I started them. I had no intention of following the protocol at that stage especially, but I missed exercise and recently, although PFS takes a toll on the joints for some of us, this has also improved to a significant creaking, but exercise is not off the cards now in the way that it was. Have the opportunity around a period of 3 weeks of no work that'd be perfect for the fast and the juice feast and very much looking forward to cracking on. I was a bodybuilder and Thai boxer in my pre PFS life so you can imagine what it was to lose those. I'm looking forward immensely to having that all back someday.

I did have an abortive stab at the protocol a long time back but I was too lost in "the panic" of the early stages, and also don't feel too unhappy with myself - regrets about not starting sooner ain't going to help, I think all that will is the drive to succeed and so at least I come armed with that.

Looking forward to getting started, asking all the silly questions etc and hoping to take my place here if you'll have me.

So hi everyone.
