The results of our largest-ever member survey show that regularly attending a Slimming World group will help you to lose weight: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Members who frequently attend their weekly Slimming World group (at least 75% of sessions) lose more weight, achieving, on average, a 7.7% weight loss (1st 1lb) in their first three months and a 14% weight loss (or 2st 3lbs) on average over the course of a year.*<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The more group sessions that members attend, the more successful they are. Based on their weight loss over a year, the top 10,000 slimmers who attend their weekly Slimming World group at least 45 times in a year lose 30% of their body weight \u2013 around 5st each.*<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr Jacquie Lavin, our special advisor on the science of weight management, explains why attending group can make such a difference to weight loss success: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe power of the group and the peer support members give one another is what sets Slimming World apart. Our members become part of a community, something special, which helps them to\u00a0realise\u00a0that they\u2019re not alone in the challenges they face. That\u2019s\u00a0combined with our\u00a0personalised\u00a0approach \u2013 called IMAGE Therapy \u2013 which helps every member discover more about themselves as a slimmer, identify their own pitfalls and danger zones, and create plans to overcome them. As well as following our healthy eating plan and becoming more active, members are encouraged to dig deep into what motivates them, and to set realistic weekly goals to help them achieve their weight loss targets.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n
