Lucy-Lastic   10 #2 Posted February 8, 2011 Yes they do do an online version (go to http://www.slimmingworld.com and follow the links to online membership), but it is really beneficial if you can make yourself go as you will get all sorts of tips and the social aspect really makes you feel better about it all as you can feel like you are in it as a group rather than alone (and I don't 'do'social at other times). The group that I go to has all shapes and sizes of people there and no-one is judged on their weight gains (just congratulated on any losses ). I found that I actually lost weight quicker if I stayed to the group rather than running in getting weighed and then running out again.  If you do decide to try and attend a group, you can type in your postcode into the website and it will find the ones most local to you. I think it will give you a phone number of the leader too if you wanted a chat before you went.  Good Luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
