🎶Whoa, we’re halfway there! 🎶 With the end of the school year drawing near, you may feel like you’re living on a prayer right now!
While we can’t help with those cries of “I’m bored” or “Are we nearly there yet?”, we can support you to keep your slimming on track with more motivation-boosting summer strategies.
Soak up support
We know that summer brings a whole host of slimming challenges, so we’re here to help. Your Consultant at your nearest Slimming World group will guide you through tailored strategies to help you enjoy the season and lose weight.
Slimming World Consultant Lynsey, who lost more than 5½st (35kg), felt fantastic on holiday after reaching her dream target weight.
She says: ‘I couldn’t be happier to be heading to Tenerife feeling proud, confident and totally in control! It hasn’t been perfect, but it has been worth it.’
Say yes to summer socialising
From weddings and garden parties to food fairs and days at the races, our flexible healthy eating plan works for every occasion. Plus, Slimming World groups are brimming with ideas for smart swaps and slim-safe strategies.

Tackle those triggers
Having your own slim-safe snacks is a lifesaver when your little ones are tucking into things you’d rather avoid.
Slimming World’s list of Free Foods includes plenty of options for when you’re feeling peckish, including fresh fruit and veg, lean meat and hard-boiled eggs.
Plus, you’ll get ideas for nibbles and snacking strategies in group and on our member app and website.

Plan active days out
Day trips are a great way to make the most of the warm weather (while it lasts!) and to add in some movement.
Slimming World’s active lifestyle programme encourages you to get fitter in a way that works for you – because you’re far more likely to stick with it if you enjoy doing it!
Slimming World member Lynsey (@lynseyhannant_norwich) clocked up some activity – and had heaps of fun – exploring the Norfolk Broads on a buoyancy bike.

Quench your thirst
While drinking water doesn’t boost weight loss, staying hydrated is great for our health and it can stop us from mistaking thirst for hunger. Water (still, sparkling or tap), sugar-free squash and diet fizzy drinks are all Free.
