My consultant has just posted this, her mum lives with her though and has vascular dementia
 After a long hard think, sleepless night and listening to the advice of the Government as to "no gatherings" and also wanting to protect my members and myself, I will be closing our group until all this is over.

I'm heartbroken, but I know I would feel much worse if opening meant that this virus spread even further, to our families and vulnerable people.

Head Office have not, as yet, made a blanket decision on closing all groups, so you may still find groups in other areas open to get weighed in, should you so wish. I obviously needed to make the decision now, as our group is tonight and I have received numerous messages asking what is happening.
If you are currently on a countdown course, it will be placed on hold for you, you will not have to rejoin when we re-open and there will be no back fees or holidays/absences used, as long as you return when we open again.
I will be looking at ways to support everyone, whilst away from group, on here, texts emails etc, so PLEASE try to not let this ruin your hard work so far - I know it is difficult not to, especially when the shops don't have certain foods in stock!!
**If you know of any members who are NOT on Facebook, PLEASE can you tell them, but also comment below with their name, as it could save me having to contact a few less people to tell them the news ***
I will be in touch, and I am SO sorry it has come to this, but let's support each other in here as much as we can xx🥰

Beanie what great weight loss
Denise hope you get home - each day things seem to get worse - everything crossed for you.
Bubbs as alway yours meals look devine.  Hard for your SW coordinator....just hope SW stand behind there folks.

Sorry I have not posted recently but I am sure many of you are in a flap with things.  I am sorry but am not sure if I can put my heart into SW at the moment.

I am not coping well with it - very low in mood and sleepless nights, I am worrying about things that haven't even happened. Plus have a feeling that from weekend I may have to stay in with my health conditions....although as not sleeping decided I will start to walk the dog when I see it getting light - he doesn't know whats hit him Mum walking him at 6 am - straight in he came  and back to bed bless him.  No one is around just the odd car.
My hubbys get a grip mentality isn't helping and if honest is making me worse, plus he is staying at home more and in his work are looking at more working from home.
If I do the magical curtain trick and pull myself together will start to post....but you need positive posts and that not me at the moment.

Take care all

Sorry to hear that vegastare. I'm sure that 'get a grip' isn't helpful at all. We're all feeling that things are out of our control at the moment. I have plenty of SW friendly food and sticking to SW and my meal plan is one things I can control. I know that if I said 's*d it' and put weight on it would make me feel worse. But that's me and we're all different and we have to do whatever it takes to get through this.

I'm glad they're having a big SW meeting today bubbs. While your consultant is really on the ball, we need a national decision. I'd like to think  we don't get thrown off syns online if we can't get to WI.

I'm having dauphinoise potatoes today. They're in the freezer and I want to use them up. Not sure of the syns. It's about half (or less) a tub of low fat creme fraiche shared with DH and most of the cheese is from HEA so I'm not that worried. 

Will post menu later.

Just heard the decision from head office is to suspend all meetings for 3 weeks. No one will be penalised, countdowns will carry forwards and there will be no missed week fees. It is the first time in over 50 years that SW have had to do this and we hope all our members will understand and come back to class once we reopen.

Obviously a Email meant for SW Consultants but the power of FB has shared.

💥 IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT 💥  

After a sleepless night and taking into consideration the advice of the Government as to "no gatherings" and also wanting to protect our members and our consultants - Slimming World as a whole company have taken the heartbreaking decision to close all of our groups.  

We are all truly heartbroken, but we know we would feel much worse if opening meant that this virus spread even further, to our families and vulnerable people.   

If you are currently on a countdown course, it will be placed on hold for you, or you can transfer to online membership. If you pay weekly, you will not have to rejoin when we re-open and there will be no back fees or holidays/absences used, as long as you return when we open again.  

Head Office are now in talks about what else we can do or put in place to support each and every Slimming World member across the UK and Ireland. 

**If you know of any members who are NOT on Facebook,  PLEASE can you tell them ***   

Stay safe everyone ❤

Thanks for that midge. I'd hope that a message with FAQs soon appears on the SW website and App. There's nothing there as yet. 
I've boiled a piece of gammon for tonight's dinner and used the stock to put lentil and veg soup in the SC. It's always good to have soup as a standby for lunches and I did wonder whether when we're socially distanced whether going to the countryside/seaside and taking a picnic might be a nice thing to do even if we sit in the car and just take a quick walk in isolated places. One positive is that this didn't happen in recent weeks  when we had the endless rain. At least the weather might start to pick up soon.  
Today's EE plan-
B- NAS grapefruit, baked beans (F), fried egg, bacon (P), HEB toast, HEA milk
L- veggie omelette (P,S,), ham (P), beetroot (S)
D- gammon (P), dauphinoise potatoes (F/Syns) , cabbage, kale, broccoli, cauli (S)
Syns- potatoes 5? (just guessing really as it's hard converting a pot to the mls)

Hope all is well denise. I've been thinking of you.
