Melton Mowbray Slimming groups are supporting all members to get summer ready!

The team of Slimming World Consultants from Melton Mowbray say members are gearing up for a healthy summer with renewed motivation

With summer in sight, Melton Slimming World groups are highlighting the power of local, community based support to help members feel their best, stay motivated and achieve lasting weightloss success.

The dedicated team of consultants say slimming groups continue to play a vital role as weight-loss medication rises in popularity.

They say: “When it comes to feeling confident and healthy this summer, supportive communities and shared motivation make all the difference. Our group attracts a wide range of members – from young adults to older members. We’ve always known that there’s real power in community support. The accountability that comes from losing weight alongside others is still as relevant as ever.

“Real change doesn’t happen in isolation – it happens when you’re surrounded by people who understand your challenges, without judgement. Those members are with you for the highs and the lows, helping you to lose weight and build confidence.”

Slimming World groups welcome anyone looking to lose weight, including those taking weight-loss medication. Abi Monday evening consultant says: “We’re really excited that Slimming World has launched new, dedicated GLP1 support to help members who are using weightloss medication. It’s all about supporting them to build the healthy habits they’ll need not just to lose weight, but to keep it off for life. Our approach focuses on healthy eating, behaviour change and emotional support – elements that help you maintain weight loss long after the initial motivation fades.”

Slimming World’s new expert designed GLP1 support combines tailored eating plans, recipe ideas, strength building activity and guidance for coming off medication, all in one easy to access digital hub.

The team of consultants explain that Slimming World’s healthy eating plan, Food Optimising, remains at the heart of every member’s success. They say: “Each week members learn how to enjoy a wide range of satisfying meals while building long-term healthy habits as part of their everyday life. For anyone taking weight-loss medication, the healthfulness of the plan is especially important – when appetite is reduced and smaller portions are required, every bite really does count. Members can feel reassured that they’re getting a balanced, nutritious diet, rich in protein, fibre and all the essentials their body needs. Ongoing support between groups is also available through the app – with progress charts, a huge range of food choices and practical tools to stay motivated between groups.”

The comments follow the release of a landmark University of Oxford study earlier this year showing that people who stop taking weight-loss medication regain all the weight they lost in under two years – far faster than those following any other weight-loss plan. The analysis found people who stop taking weight loss medication saw weight return four times faster compared with other weight loss plans.

Suzanne the Wednesday morning consultant says: “When someone joins a Slimming World group, they step into a space where they’re supported, encouraged and genuinely understood. Week by week, members lose weight by turning small changes around food, drink and activity into lasting habits. They share ideas, swap inspiration and gain a lifelong toolkit for healthy living. This support is essential for anyone using weight-loss medication – it helps you feel confident you’re losing weight in a healthy way, giving you the strongest chance of maintaining that weight loss long term.

Diane and Lisa both consultants in Melton say: “Slimming World honestly changed our whole lives. We have not only lost the weight but actually kept it off. Turning up each week and being surrounded by people who cheer you on makes such a massive difference. There’s something powerful about walking into a room where everyone genuinely wants you to succeed – we all lift each other up, no judgement, just encouragement.”
