Group Support

The support of the consultant and other members is an important part of Slimming World's methods. When a member is losing weight successfully they receive praise and inspire the rest of the group to do well; When they are struggling to lose weight, they have support and practical advice from the group to help them get back on track. The motivation of members is regenerated each week at the group and Slimming World believe the level of compassion, respect and care shown to members is a key part of the members success. The support continues outside the group via contact and support from the consultant and other members of the group on social media sites such as Facebook. The members can also get support from the website, LifeLineOnline, and a free smartphone app. The website contains an online syn checker, recipe ideas and support for members. 

Most Slimming World groups have a Facebook group that they will be added too by the consultant. In the Facebook group meals can be shared so that others can see what you are eating and get ideas on meals that they can have. Also, recipes can be shared by the slimmers or the consultant so that the other members can try a variety of meals so that they do not feel that they are repeating the same meals day in day out. 

Members can also post in the group if they are struggling with eating properly and then they can receive support and motivation from the other members of the group. Slimming World is a tight knit group where the members will always be there for each other no matter what the struggle is.
