Weight maintenance

Maintenance of weight loss is a very important part of Slimming World’s approach.  As part of our service to help members maintain their weight loss long term, we invite those reaching their personal target weight (this is personally chosen by the member and can be whatever weight they wish, decided whenever they wish) to attend group meetings as Lifetime Slimming World members completely free of charge for as long as they wish.

At any point in time around 10% of our membership is regularly attending free of charge as target members.  However, we do not measure our success by the number of attending target members as many decide to visit the group less frequently and some decide they are happy to ‘go it alone’ once they reach a target they are happy with.  Our aim is to empower members to make lifestyle changes to manage their weight – changes which they can comfortably make for life.

We know that some members do leave and rejoin at a later date if they feel they need support once again in managing their weight, and for some this practice of rejoining when needed is a very effective way of managing their weight long term.  Helping people mange their own expectations, see things in perspective and decide whether a weight loss goal is still important to them (at the moment) is all part of our philosophy.  Using a number of advanced psychological and behavioural modification tools, Slimming World Consultants help members to address such issues as identifying personal goals, setting behavioural goals and effective planning to develop long-term lifestyle changes.
