  • Hi Bean, I like the idea of ham and cream cheese (or salmon) - I love all of that. I'm in Cheshire, UK. I've starting developing a thing for seafood sticks also! Well done on your progress so far, amazing! I'm getting tired of the attack phase but only another 2 and half days to go on it then I can have veggies :) Can't…
