The government has today launched a healthy living campaign to stem the rising obesity rates in England warning that, left alone, obese and overweight people would cost the taxpayer £50bn by 2050.

The "eat well, move more, live longer" message of the "Change4Life" campaign isn’t a surprise to Slimming World members who do just that! With Food Optimising and Body Magic, they lead healthier, fitter lives… and pass those positive changes to their families too.

For forty years, Slimming World has been helping people all over the UK to make small changes to the way they shop, cook and eat, and to take realistic steps to become more active in their day to day lives. Hand in hand, with the powerfully motivating group support Slimming World is renowned for, hundreds of thousands of slimmers have lost millions of pounds and reaped the many health benefits associated with weight loss.  You can read their inspiring stories of success here…
