Yay ! Well done SBN, fab start to the challenge hun ! Your Gammon & Veg Soup looks gorgeous ! Well done on hitting all your targets. The only thing I would like to advise you on is, in the guidelines in PART 5C, it mentions not to overdo the water intake, it's not beneficial for your health. 4 litres is too much hun and infact we have another challenge which is the Salad Challenge and the water intake is higher in that, but I have lowered it for the Soup Challenge, because soup already contains water. Please can you try and aim for 2.5 litres maximum which is for the Turbo Cycle (the advanced cycle). Hope you will take this on board . Well done otherwise, I'm really happy with what you've done and I'm really looking forward to your post for day 2 tomorrow .

Hello hun - I totally see what you are saying but as you can see from my stats I am probably a bit bigger than others taking part which ups my water requirements also I have to drink extra water because of medication I am on and this has been okayed by my doctor who has said I am okay as long I don't go over 5 Litres so I will remember to add the liquid from the soup though and stick to 3/4 Litres. I hope I'm still okay to take part.

Ah well if you Doctor has advised you then that's fine hun and you say its to do with your meds. Please make sure you are spacing your water out during the day, although I know you may know this already. Please be aware that the moderators on mins have asked me to make sure that before proceeding with this challenge, you do check with your doctor first. If you have already done that, then that's fine lovely and that puts my mind at rest. Thank you xx
