If you’re a group member using LifelineOnline or a Slimming World Online member, please see our additional terms.

LifelineOnline online access
LifelineOnline is free to all our attending members to complement the support you receive at group (not to replace it). If you’re unable to attend group for four weeks or more, you’ll spot a friendly message on the website or app encouraging you back to group.

As a target member, if you choose not to come along to group, your account will remain active for seven weeks. After the eighth missed group, your LifelineOnline account will be ‘hibernated’.

As soon as you’ve been back to group, and your Consultant has uploaded their group information to Head Office, your account will be reinstated.

If you’re not yet a target member and choose not to come along to group, your account will remain active for three weeks. After the fourth missed group, your LifelineOnline account will be ‘hibernated’.

Exercise articles
If you have a medical condition which may be adversely affected by exercise, you should consult your doctor before following any exercise information given. Every member should take personal responsibility for themselves when doing exercise which has been advised by Slimming World or their representative, either at or outside the group. If at any time while exercising a member feels any ill effects then they must stop doing the exercise and it is advisable that they check this out with their doctor.

Your right to cancel your online membership
Because Slimming World Online is an online programme where the service starts immediately upon joining, once you've paid your subscription you have up to 14 days to cancel your membership and receive a refund for any unused time. If you cancel your membership after 14 days, you're not entitled to a refund. 

Below you'll find more details on our refund process:

• Where applicable, refunds are based on the full amount paid for the package. The refund will be made for any unused time based on a daily rate.
• If your subscription includes the member pack and recipe books, you'll have the option of returning or keeping these items. If you choose to keep the items, we will deduct the cost from your refund. If you have a subscription to Slimming World Magazine this is managed and processed separately by Select Publisher Services and will continue unless you confirm you want it to be cancelled. 

We want everyone to love using our service and we want to know if you’re unhappy or thinking of leaving us. If you want to contact us to discuss your concerns, don’t hesitate to contact us by phone on 0344 892 0430 or by live chat. 

Please note: Purchases made within the apps downloaded from the Apple iTunes store are not refundable and are subject to Apple iTunes terms and conditions

Transferring or pausing membership
In exceptional circumstances, online membership can be paused and resumed at a later date for a minimum of one month. 

Transferral of online membership to group membership can be arranged using vouchers for your personal group attendance. We endeavour to provide vouchers that reflect, as closely as possible, the value of online membership remaining; however, we’re unable to refund any difference.

To request a pause or transfer, please contact us by phone on 0344 892 0430 or by live chat.

Re-subscriptions and cancellations
Once you have become a member (minimum three months’ subscription), you can cancel your monthly re-subscriptions at any time by giving us two weeks’ notice. Until we receive this notice we will continue to deduct your subscription from your payment card each month.

To cancel your membership, log into your account, click on your avatar top right of the screen and choose Settings, then select the Account & Membership option, followed by Membership status. Alternatively, contact us by phone on 0344 892 0430 or by live chat. 

If you don’t receive a response within seven days, please contact us again or check your membership status on the Settings page.

Where refunds are applicable, they will be based on the full amount paid for the resubscription package. The refund will be made for any unused time, based on a daily rate. 

If your resubscription includes the member pack, you'll have the option of returning or keeping this item. If you choose to keep the member pack, we will deduct the cost (£10) from your refund. 

Although it is each member’s responsibility to cancel their membership, if Slimming World Online is not used for 30 days, future subscriptions are cancelled automatically. You can access the website for any remaining membership and your membership can continue on a monthly basis by visiting the Settings page to re-enter payment details or by using one of our special three-, six- or 12-month re-subscription offers.

We will give you four weeks’ notice if we wish to terminate the provision of the Slimming World Online services to you. Upon termination, we will cease charging you and we will not collect any further payments.

During your membership you can order a maximum of two copies of most of our recipe books. This excludes the member pack and the Slimming World Magazine subscription, which are restricted to one per member. 

Hi-fi bars are so popular that we place a monthly limit so everyone gets to enjoy them. You can order 10 packs of Hi-fi bars (enough boxes to enjoy two bars a day) per month. Your order limit ‘refreshes’ each month on the date you joined Slimming World.

With the exception of a Slimming World Magazine subscription, the book and food prices shown don’t include post and packaging. Postage and packing charges will be added prior to the payment stage.

The information provided to you on this site is based on our best understanding of nutritional and dietary research. It follows generally accepted standards of dietary recommendations in the United Kingdom.

While we make all reasonable attempts to exclude viruses from the website and app, we cannot ensure such exclusion and no liability is accepted for viruses. You are, therefore, recommended to take all appropriate safeguards before downloading information or images from this website.

Save in respect of personal injury or death, our total liability to you in contract, tort (including negligence or breach of statutory duty), misrepresentation, restitution or otherwise arising in connection with the performance or contemplated performance of the Slimming World Online services or supply of any goods shall be limited to the price paid for the services or goods ordered and the reasonable costs of returning goods or materials to us.

Slimming World Online and all associated services are not intended as a substitute for any advice or treatment prescribed by a doctor.

It is the responsibility of each member to ensure there are no medical reasons why they shouldn’t embark upon a slimming campaign. If in any doubt at all, members should check with their doctor.

Slimming World Online’​s medical policy is:

• Slimming World Online is not available to members under the age of 18. The advice given in the public area is not intended for use by those under 18.
• Anyone who has any medical problems, is taking any medication, is pregnant or is breastfeeding must disclose this information during registration.
• Members with cancer, or liver or kidney disease must check with their healthcare team before joining. There's a risk that members may experience unexpected weight changes as a consequence of their health condition, so we ask you to keep in regular contact with your healthcare team and get in touch with them if you have any concerns about your health, or experience any unexpected or rapid weight changes. 
• Members with diabetes or coeliac disease will be able to benefit fully from Slimming World Online and should always incorporate the advice given by their care team or GP.
• Because our members’ health is of primary importance, we’re unable to offer membership to the following groups:
  
  - people with eating disorders
  If you have, or if you are concerned that you may have, an eating disorder, it is important to consult your doctor for advice.
  
  - mums-to-be
  Slimming World Online is not suitable for women who are pregnant, and therefore pregnant women are not able to join the online programme. Members who become pregnant may freeze their membership by contacting the Slimming World member support team or opt to transfer their membership to group membership.
  
  - new mums
  Members may join post-natally if they have had their post-natal check-up and been told that it is safe for them to lose weight by their healthcare team. Membership is offered to breastfeeding mothers a minimum of six weeks after the birth of their baby.

If you have a medical condition that may be adversely affected by exercise, you should consult your doctor before following any exercise information in our articles and videos. Every member should take personal responsibility for themselves when doing any exercise that has been advised by Slimming World or their representative, either at or outside the group. If at any time while exercising a member feels any ill effects, then they must stop doing the exercise and check this out with their doctor.

We always recommend members follow the medical and any dietary advice they have been given by their doctor or other health professional.

Visit our Science behind Slimming World page for more information about the evidence base behind Slimming World and our multi-component approach, designed to help people adopt a healthier lifestyle. 

Our Consultants are now operating their groups normally, in line with national guidelines to keep our members and Consultants safe and sound. Although there's no longer a requirement to wear a face covering, we encourage any member who would prefer to wear one to do so.  

Should national guidelines change again in the future, we'll comply with them fully and reintroduce the compulsory wearing of face coverings if required. If necessary, we'll also consider alternative ways for our Consultants to provide their services, including reintroducing 'Venue and Virtual' (where you weigh in at your venue and attend a virtual group session) or a virtual online-only service. 

We are committed to safely, securely and responsibly protecting and using the data and member information we hold. We will only use your information for the purposes of providing our services, and if we do have to introduce these alternative methods, we'll make you aware of how they could impact data use.

In every circumstance, we'll continue to ensure your personal information is safe, secure and used appropriately.  

If anything is unclear or you have questions, please contact our Data Protection Officer by email at: dpa.officer@slimmingworld.co.uk
