Slimming word ............ Way of life .

Slimming World is the most advanced slimming organisation in the UK. It was founded in 1969 by Margaret Miles-Bramwell, who remains the driving force behind the company to this day.
With the experience of a lifetime's weight problem, it is her enthusiasm and unique vision that has made the Company so successful.
In over 36 years, over 5 million slimmers have attended our groups and lost a total of 60 million pounds.
There are now over 5,500 groups held weekly on a nationwide basis via a network of 2,500 Slimming World trained Consultants.
In 1997, Slimming World became the first slimming organisation to qualify for the Investors in People Award. The award was renewed in 2006.
SMILES, Slimming World's very own charity, was born in 1997. SMILES stands for SLIMMERS MAKING IT a LITTLE EASIER for SOMEONE, and each year the SMILES committee chooses a special charity to benefit from our Consultants' and members' amazing generosity. You can read more about SMILES here...
During January 1998, Slimming World magazine was launched and sold in-house to members. It was a runaway success and the magazine went on to newsstands right across the country in January 1999 where it immediately became a leading diet magazine with sales in excess of 260,000.
Slimming World was awarded 6th Best Company to Work For by the Sunday Times
in 2004, achieving Best for Leadership and Top 3 for Giving Something Back and has retained its Top 100 position for three consecutive years. This year, we have received the prestigious three star Best Companies award, based on the elite ‘Michelin’ style star rating.
From 2001 to 2003, Slimming World worked in collaboration with Greater Derby Primary Care Trust to investigate the feasibility of running ‘Slimming World on Referral’ schemes. The scheme yielded excellent results and in Autumn 2003, Slimming World on Referral was launched to GPs and Primary Care Teams as an alternative to weight loss medication.View our Slimming World on Referral website.
In January 2004, LifelineOnline, an exclusive members-only website, was introduced providing Slimming World members with a free, 24/7 support, motivation and inspiration resource.
In 2005, Slimming World gave members even more choice with two brand new menus; Mix2Max and Success Express - both every bit as healthy and effective as the Green and Original menus that have helped thousands of slimmers achieve success.
We're thrilled to be offering fantastic savings for everyone at Slimming World! Students and senior citizens can save every week, plus there are benefits for groups of family or friends. Not forgetting our groundbreaking children’s membership! You can read more about our fantastic offers here.
