Congrats Madame that's a fantastic loss. Not enough to tempt me with fish that hasn't been battered to within an inch of its life (well dead life - you know what I mean.)

Heh, thanks ladies. I didnt realise that I liked fish, this has been a revelation! Whether or not I still like it after eating it for another full week... we shall see! But a fish curry the night before weigh in certainly helps to bring "cleansing" results!!
This week, I am also, in partnership with a full fish week, doing the Scan Bran challenge. 5 pieces of cardboard per day, for a full week. I must be mad. Consultant said last time someone did that, in another group, the results were so good that the Consultant ran out of Scan Bran the following week because everyone bought a weeks supply!
For non Slimming Worlders, Scan Bran is like Ryvita, (the dark rye version) but smaller, and chewier, and drier. You can however make it into cakes. I am planning to have mine for lunch with tuna on, I think.

Wow, well done hun. You have such good losses, you must be really determined. Keep up the good work
Izzy: Yes we do have a lot of food to eat after sunset and its usually fried and too many calories (although we're not actually meant to eat so much). I am going to try my best to be 100% on my diet through ramadhan and i'm trying to convince my family to eat healthy too, lol. Having said that i might be exempt from fasting this year so i will have to check with my GP.
Whats all this talk about Fish? I would love to try Sushi myself but i'm too afraid lol. I stick to Cod, Haddock, Tuna and abit of Salmon here and there. They're all a great source of those Omega-3 Fatty Acids
MadameLM: If you up your water intake you will defo lose more weight. How many carbs are you having a day if you are eating fish for 2 meals? You could be going into Ketosis like you do on the Cambridge Diet which means you're burning fat for fuel and you get some very good losses.
I also wanted to say HI to the new members
. Team Fairy is great, everyone is so lovely and supportive :grouphugg:, you'll like it here .I hope theres space for me on the team at our next challenge but i'm happy with being the mascot for now

Hey Maybe, I am not eating much in the way of Carbs, don't really have any pasta potatoes or bread at all, am mostly doing SW red days but am having my two healthy extra Bs per day which are cereal bars or at the moment scan brans, not sure that it is minimal enough to push me into ketosis though. Something is working at the moment though!!

I think you need to be eating between 20g-50g carbs a day to be in ketosis, i'm not sure though.
How much water are you drinking a day?
I'm glad you've found something that works for you. Keep us posted on how you get on

2-3l. I dont think I am getting into ketosis then no, and certainly not this week with the scan bran! 2 of them would put me over 50g.

2-3L is really good. It helps detoxify the Liver so that it can focus more on breaking down fat. It also helps to keep you full and soemtimes we can even mistake thirst for hunger, so it prevents you from overeating.
I'm sure you already know all this but i though i'd just mention it.

Who knows Maybe... this one seems to have flopped a bit! Summer holidays and real life seem to have thrown things out a bit. Might be better to start a September one on Sept 1st or something, give people a chance to get back into a routine or something?

That does sound like a good idea. I've got ramadan this month too, so things are abit all over the place and i dont really get much time to come online.
I hope you're dieting is going well for you. I might just pop into this thread once a week and see how everyone is doing.
