Group support is a game changer
I felt terrified before walking into my first group. I was so nervous I almost turned right back around. But the group was nothing like I’d expected. No judgement, no humiliation, no public weigh-ins. Just warmth, understanding and people who genuinely cared. For the first time, I didn’t feel alone.
I've never felt like I'm on my own
The sense of community you get at group is one of the best feelings in the world. That support is something you just don’t find anywhere else, and it makes you want to try even harder – for yourself and for the people cheering you on.
your questions, answered!
At Slimming World, we want you to succeed just as much as you do. Our three essential ingredients work together to give you the key to lifelong weight loss success.
Slimming World’s healthy eating plan
Food Optimising has helped millions of people lose weight and eat more healthily – all without ever going hungry, counting a single calorie or feeling deprived. It isn’t a diet. It’s a way of eating and living that works for you, for your family and for your lifestyle.
Slimming World’s active lifestyle programme
No matter how active you are – even if you’ve yet to get started – our active lifestyle programme will help you to move more, more often or build on what you already do.
It’s totally personalised to you and your current level of fitness, and brings heaps of health and wellbeing benefits. Plus, becoming more active is essential to help you maintain your weight loss for the long-term.
Slimming World’s support system
When you’re part of a Slimming World group, with people who share your dreams and care about your success, you’re much more likely to succeed than if you go it alone. Research proves it. And nothing beats the inspiration, the trust and the togetherness you’ll discover in your Slimming World group.
Committing to this valuable time each week will keep your motivation sky-high and help you lock in the lifestyle and mindset changes that are so vital to lasting success. It really is the most effective weight loss support there is.
It’s as simple as searching for a Slimming World group near you. When you’ve found your group, you can go along on the day or get in touch with the Consultant to find out a bit more. Either way, there’ll be a warm welcome when you arrive. Please arrive a few minutes before the advertised start time, which is when your new member introductory talk will begin.
Absolutely. There’s no need to book a place or ring ahead – and you’re sure to receive a really warm welcome by your Consultant and the other members. There’s no obligation to join, either. You’re welcome to sit through the whole group before you make your decision.
Your first group will last about an hour and 20 minutes, so that your Consultant can make sure you have everything you need to get started and set up your membership. After that, each group will typically last around 40 minutes.
Each week you’ll:
- find out how you got on at your confidential weigh-in (don’t worry, your weight will never be announced to the group)
- top up your motivation with people who really get it
- build your commitment to lose weight in the week ahead (no matter what’s coming up)
- share food ideas and inspiration
- celebrate every achievement together
Of course you can! Deciding to lose weight – whatever method you use – takes courage, motivation, commitment and determination.
At Slimming World, we’re here for everyone who embarks on this life-changing journey – including if you’ve decided to take GLP-1 medications, such as Mounjaro, Ozempic or Wegovy, alongside our support.
With Food Optimising and our active lifestyle programme, we’ll support you to get the nutrients your body needs, even when your appetite is smaller, and help you stay strong and energised as you lose weight. We’ll also help you embed the essential lifestyle and mindset changes that’ll give you the very best chance of lasting success.
You’ll also have access to our weight loss medication hub on the Slimming World app for:
- even more advice for Food Optimising with a reduced or changing appetite
- nutritious (and delicious!) ways to make every mouthful count
- muscle-strengthening activity videos for every level
- strategies and mindset tools to help you understand your own patterns, triggers and danger zones – now and for the future
- a step-by-step guide for preparing to reduce or stop the medication, when the time comes
- an exclusive podcast and Q&A video, with Slimming World’s nutrition team
