To start each day with the same attitude of a yesterday that didn't go too well is setting yourself up for disappointment. Your mindset is the strongest tool you will ever harness, so tell yourself you can, show yourself how and let the rest follow. You are already having a great day if you think that way. Happy Monday everyone x

☺️ FOCUS ON YOU 😊

Most of us lead busy lives, whether we’re working, studying, or looking after our family, pets and home 🏡 👫👭👬🐶🐒😆

This can make it easy to file time for you under something for another day. However, looking after number one is essential for your physical and mental health – and investing time in yourself can help even the busiest week feel like less of a struggle ♥️

You’ll always find a friendly ear at your local Slimming World group. 💡

A weekly meet-up with people who understand the chllenges of weight loss can be a vital support – so much so that those who belong to a slimming group, alongside people who care and share their goals, are more likely to succeed than those who don’t. That’s well worth making time for ✔️✔️✔️✔️

Low and slow 🥰
This slimming-friendly take on the American classic mixes tender pork with a rich and smoky home-made sauce to make a mouth-watering meal that’s perfect for late-summer barbecues.
The secret to making pulled pork that falls apart beautifully is keeping things low and slow. We’ve slow-cooked the pork for five hours – leaving you with plenty of time to relax while the oven does its thing – and then finished it off on the barbecue to get those charred edges that give the dish its authentic smoky flavour.

O H B U R G E R M E 🍔
Burger in a bowl is a fantastic dish if you’re slimming, because you don’t feel like you’re missing out when everyone else is having a burger at the barbecue.
This recipe has all the elements of a great burger, just without the bun that can quickly bump up your daily Syns when you’re Food Optimising. And if you add a drizzle of Slimming World’s super sauce, it’ll taste just like your favourite takeaway burger, too 😉

Discover the difference - with no calorie counting at Slimming World! 🙌🏻
If you’ve ever tried , it’s likely you’ll know that it can quickly become a huge inconvenience. When you’re trying to slim, weighing, measuring and counting every calorie that passes your lips can be tedious and impractical...... 😬
♥️ How Slimming World can help ♥️
We have a deep understanding of the of , developed over more than 50 years, including our liberating eating plan. We know that when a diet leaves you feeling hungry and deprived – as well as being difficult to follow – you’re less likely to enjoy a successful slimming journey. That’s why Food Optimising is so effective – it’s an easy-to-follow healthy eating plan where we’ve done the number crunching, so you don’t have to! 🥳

Can I really eat as much Free Food as I want?
Yes, you really can! 🤩🤩🤩
With Food Optimising your appetite becomes your limit – rather than the number of points/calories you're 'allowed' with other, restrictive plans. What makes Food Optimising so fast, effective and enjoyable is the master stroke of genius known as Free Food. Free foods are foods that you can eat in unlimited amounts and with an endless variety of these on offer, you'll never go hungry or feel guilty about eating again! And when you're free from the fear of hunger and guilt, the urge to overeat will disappear. ♥️
With Slimming World you'll feel empowered, liberated and excited about staying on track with your slimming journey safe in the knowledge that you can satisfy your appetite, enjoy the foods you love – and still lose weight! 🥳
For a group near you see www.slimmingworld.co.uk

With Food Optimising, no food or drink is off limits! 🥳 Losing weight any other way would be a ‘missed-steak’ 😉
We recognise that sometimes we eat for pure pleasure and without these innocent pleasures, we could actually start to feel a little deprived.
If we’re to find a way of eating that we can live with for life, feelings of deprivation are exactly what need to be avoided. Food Optimising ensures that everyone can find that balance, that delightfully happy medium that leads to losing weight and keeping it off for good.

We already know that regular activity is brilliant for our wellbeing, setting off a cascade of powerful chemical responses in our bodies that leave us feeling calmer, more confident and in a much better mood. Well, those benefits are increased when exercise involves spending time with supportive people.
According to one study, for every club you belong to – which includes sport teams and, of course, your supportive Slimming World group – your happiness can be boosted by as much as 9%.
Change your life today and learn how you can make activity part of everyday life. For a group near you see www.slimmingworld.co.uk
