    i feel really ignorant here, who is weller and is everything OK?

    Weller is one of the regulars on DWF and she very suddenly and shockingly lost her husband yesterday morning after he had been given the all clear by the hospital.

    The whole board is reeling from the sad news.
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.

    Poor Weller, although I don't know her (I don't think I've posted on this thread before) my thoughts are with her and her family - what a sad thing to happen.

    My name is Lowri and I've been following slimming world since the beginning of June. I've been reading this thread with great interest as I'm trying to be as frugal as possible (not easy these days!). I do try and follow the DFW mantra too! Anyway, just wanted to introduce myself, but not sure what's best to say in the circumstances.

    Hello all...still managing to stick to sw...

    ...weetabix & semi skimmed from HEA with 1 spoon sugar

    ...banana & clemintine...

    ...4 slices melon, 1 plum & tuna mayo (HEB) on wholemeal with sweetcorn (was at a course where lunch was provided so think I did quite well! :D

    ...home made quorn lasagne & healthy potato wedges for tea...yum yum!!!

    Should also fess up to the 3 smarties & 4 salt & viniger crisps I pinched from my 6 year old!

    I just started yesterday but am feeling really positive so thanks to every1 on this thread...need to find some scales so i can monitor my progress!

    For any1 who's looking for a sweet treat and doesn't know already, muller lights 1 a day are free. They're great if you pop them in freezer for 20 mins/ half an hour as they're almost like ice cream.

    me too but all my group is doing it so its kinda competetive now:D i will keep plodding on, try not to eat all of the punnet of strawberries just ahve a couple it still counts as a SS food.
    im off to plan for today now and i will let you know how day 2 goes tonight:o

    Ah, wish I'd seen this before I scoffed another punnet of raspberries :o

    1 shredded wheat (HEB) and milk (HEA)

    Had leftovers from dinner yesterday for lunch today
    Quorn bolognese (3 x ss and 6 x s)
    3 x light laughing cow triangles (HEA)

    2 x bananas
    raspberries (ss)

    1 barley sugar (1 syn? :confused: )

    Dinner will be SW chips, egg and mushy peas (ss) and I may have a couple of slices of nimble with a laughing cow triangle on it instead of butter for my other (HEB)

    Will try and have some melon (ss) and a kiwi (s) which will take me to the grand total of 5 x ss and 7 x s. If I can find any more strawberries in the fridge, I could possibly squeeze in another ss.

    Sshhh but early indications show (not me jumping on the scales mid week of course :o :whistle: ) that I may have lost half of the weight I put on whilst on holiday. ;)
