Just a quick update on my Slimming World progress. I have combined 3 weeks together because to be honest I didn't have that much to share. Things started to slow down at week 3 and I only lost 1/2 lb, which I wasn't very impressed with as I was doing things exactly the same. Week 4 however I managed to lose 1.5 lbs and I think because I cut down on the amount of pasta I was eating and changed my lunches, it made a difference. 

Week 5, 1 lb down, making my total weight loss after 5 weeks 7.5 lbs! I finally got my half stone award and I'm so happy with my progress. I don't lose weight quickly and with Slimming World, I'm doing it the healthy way unlike other diets I've tried. I can notice a difference in my body and a lot of people have commented that I've lost weight (always a good sign). I'm half way through my goal and I'm hoping that I continue at this pace. If I could lose around 2 lbs a week that would be even better. I'm currently on the Easter holidays for 2 weeks, so I'm not that hopeful I will have good, if any loses over the next 2 weeks, but I will try as much as possible to stay on plan, but it is Easter and we all deserve a treat right?!

Above are a couple of pictures of some of the meals I've made. I'm been coming up with my own meals mostly, but there have been times where I've found some really good ideas and recipes online. SW is a huge community and there are thousands of people out there to give advice and so many ideas and information on the internet. Below is a list of a few low syn treats that I have been having whilst on the diet, in case anyone is looking for ideas. I am always looking for new meal ideas and low syns so I'd appreciate any suggestions.
