A warm welcome awaits you at Slimming World groups

Summary

Real-life Slimming World groups are welcoming members to help achieve their weight loss dreams.

As always, our members receive a warm welcome, friendly faces, tons of support and cast-iron reassurance that they're in the right place to make long term lifestyle changes to achieve their weight loss dreams.

To help members feel confident about joining and staying to group, we will welcome and respect those who wish to continue wearing a mask in England, Wales, Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, if they choose to do so. There are also reminders for all members to continue to wear face masks (unless medically exempt) for Slimming World groups in Scotland.

About Slimming World

Slimming World was founded by Margaret Miles-Bramwell OBE in Derbyshire in 1969 and has become the UK and Ireland’s leading weight loss organisation with more people choosing to attend a Slimming World group each week than any other weight loss programme. We support hundreds of thousands of people, both in our groups and online, to lose weight and to adopt new habits to stay slim for life.  

Over the years our founding principles haven’t changed:  

Our unique programme is based on a powerfully motivating support system called IMAGE (Individual Motivation and Group Experience) Therapy. Underpinned by a deep understanding of the psychology of overweight people, and incorporating the most effective sustainable behaviour change techniques, IMAGE Therapy is designed to inspire and motivate slimmers to make positive changes and to develop new, healthier habits around food and activity.  

Food Optimising is our healthy eating plan, based on the liberating concept of Free Food. We encourage our members to fill up on those foods that are naturally lower in energy density (calories per gram) and also highly satisfying while limiting foods that are highest in fat and sugar and are less satisfying, so they lose weight without ever feeling hungry or deprived and without having to weigh, measure or count everything they eat.    

Our activity programme, Body Magic, encourages members to become more active, more often in ways that they enjoy, until regular physical activity becomes an intrinsic part of daily routine.  

Above all, at the heart of everything we do, lies our passion for treating every member with genuine care, empathy and respect. 

We’re proud to work with the NHS, the Office for Health Improvement and Disparities (OHID), The Royal College of Midwives and others to help shape the future of weight management in the UK and Ireland.
