I was out at lunchtime and got a bowl of vegetable soup in a coffee shop with a friend. Any idea how many kcals to give it? I wont be having a 2nd slimfast today so would that cover it?

Not sure how many calories in the soup, but I can't see how it would be more than the 220 allowed for slimfast lunch, so I'd just count it as that if I was you. Was it cream of vegetable or just the broth kind? Either way think you're fine

Vegetable soup calorie counter here, so you might be able to find one that compares to what you had.

cool thanks stirky..... it was a broth so no cream. ill skip a snack and a slimfast and that should do it fine!

Cool, glad I could help. Yes a vagetable broth would be really healthy too, so a good choice if you're out. It's often hard to pick something if you do go out that fits in with the plan and you end up thinking what the hell and ordering something unhealthy, so you did great!

Hola! My day was kind of wonky, but I think I did okay. Had a strawberry shake for breakfast then spent the day out shopping. Never had time to eat lunch so instead I had a huge Starbucks coffee (can that PLEASE count as half a litre of liquid?!) I also stopped at Boots and bought some Alli (more about that in a minute.) For dinner I was trying to make up some calories so I had 2 fishcakes (432 cal.) 2 corn on the cob (188 cal.) and 1/4 cup coleslaw (75 cal.). I've had two more cups of coffee since I got home and am starting on my bottle of water now. I racked up 3 1/2 miles of walking while shopping. I also bought a belly dancing workout DVD to make exercise more interesting.

Okay, I bought the Alli because after 3 weeks on SlimFast I have only lost 2 lbs. I'm not completely upset because while the scales aren't moving, I've lost 3 inches from my hips and an inch and a half from my waist. But I still want to see proof on the scales. So I'm going to give Alli a try for the next month to see if it makes any difference. I'll shut up now.

I've done a long walk tonight, skipping, and sit ups and exercise ball stuff! I found some work outs which will help us get the heart rate up... The Bikini Diet has kicked off and you can follow Mr Motivator's workout live from the cruise ship | Videos | GMTV
