SlimmingWorld is a weight loss organisation based in Derbyshire in England that caters for men and women[3] of all ages. It was founded in Derbyshire in 1969 by Margaret Miles-Bramwell, who remains its chairperson.[2]

The company began in 1969 with a handful of groups in Derbyshire before expanding into Yorkshire. By the 1980s, Slimming World had 700 classes in the UK and by 2012 there were more than 10,000 groups, making it the largest slimming club in the UK and Ireland.[citation needed]

In 2001, the company launched a referral scheme in which GPs could "prescribe" 12 weeks' attendance to patients wishing to lose weight. In 2011, a paper in the journal Obesity Facts showed patients attending at least 10 sessions achieved a clinically significant loss of 5% of their body weight.[6]

Slimming World now works with about 60 UK health authorities and more than 100,000 patients had been referred by April 2011.[7] It also signed the Government's Public Health Responsibility Deal, in which participants pledged to help the public eat more healthily and exercise more.[8]

In its 2014 guidance, the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence lists Slimming World alongside the Rosemary Conley and Weight Watchers programmes as being "effective at 12 to 18 months".[9]

Slimming World encourages members to introduce physical activity into their everyday routines. It introduces this gently with activities such as walking up stairs instead of taking the lift. Members get bronze, silver, gold and platinum awards as their activity levels increase, achieving platinum when they routinely exercise or undertake 30 minutes' activity five times weekly.[10] Since 2011, Slimming World has helped more than 150,000 people to become more active.[8]

Slimming World works in partnership with the Royal College of Midwives and is the first national slimming organisation to support pregnant women and breastfeeding mothers to manage their weight healthily during pregnancy.[11] Its policy was written in collaboration with the college and mothers take part with the consent of their midwife.

Managing weight is key to reducing other health risks and we want to work with health professionals to offer a solution. Slimming World is a well-established organisation with an effective evidence based programme focusing on nutrition, physical activity and behaviour change. Their consultants offer support, friendship and inspiration in a virtual or in person group.

This Section applies to marketing communications for weight control and slimming foodstuffs, aids (including exercise products that make weight-loss or slimming claims), clinics and other establishments, diets, medicines, treatments, and the like. The specific rules in this Section are in addition to those in other parts of the Code including Section 8: Food and Non-Alcoholic Beverages, and Section 11: Health and Beauty which may be relevant.

12.2

Any claims made for the effectiveness of a slimming plan, method or product should be backed by reputable and robust practical trials on human subjects. Testimonials do not constitute substantiation and the opinions expressed in them should be supported, where necessary, by independent evidence.

12.3

Claims that long-term slimming, weight loss or inch loss can be achieved either generally or (subject to the exception at 12.4) from specific areas of the body by any means other than dieting such as, for example, by expelling water, speeding up the metabolism, using mechanical devices, wearing garments or applying substances to the skin, should not be made unless they can be substantiated.

12.4

Marketing communications for surgical clinics, establishments and the like, that comply with rule 11.7, may claim that weight or fat can be lost from specific parts of the body. Such marketing communications should not refer to the amount of weight that can be lost.

12.11

Marketing communications for products and services in this category should not suggest that to be underweight* is acceptable or desirable. Where testimonials or case histories are used, they must not refer to subjects who are, or appear to be, underweight.

12.12

Marketing communications for diet aids such as low-calorie foods, food substitutes, appetite depressants and meal replacements should make it clear that they can be effective only as part of a calorie-controlled diet. Prominence should be given to the role of the diet, and marketing communications should not give the impression that particular methods cannot fail or that dieters can eat as much as they like and still lose weight.

12.13

Advertisers should not make general claims that specific amounts of weight can be lost within a stated period. Claims that individuals have lost specific amounts of weight should be compatible with good medical and nutritional practice, should give details of the time period and should not be based on unrepresentative experiences.

12.14

Individual variability must be taken into account when considering what constitutes good medical and nutritional practice for weight loss in adults who are overweight*. In general, weight loss greater than 1 kilogram (2.2lb) per week in those who are overweight would not be considered compatible with good medical or nutritional practice.

12.15

Both physical and passive exercise operate slowly to improve muscle tone and this can have an effect on body shape. An improvement in posture may also benefit the figure. Advertisers should be able to substantiate any claims that such methods used alone or in conjunction with a diet plan can lead to weight or inch loss. Marketing communications for intensive exercise programmes should encourage users to check with a doctor before starting.

12.16

Marketing communications for adult weight-reduction regimes or establishments should neither be directed at, nor contain anything that will appeal particularly to, children.

In our evaluations, this style stood up to elements like seawater, chlorine, sweat, UV rays and more, so you know it will last season after season, and the timeless look won't be going out of style anytime soon. If basic colors bore you, the brand offers 17 colors and prints to choose from, and while the size range is a little more limited starting at size 8, the brand does offer plus-size options up to size 24.

One of the hottest swimsuits on Amazon, this one-piece from Tempt Me has more than 25,000 five-star reviews from real shoppers, and it costs a fraction of the price of other popular styles. Plus, it wowed both product experts and consumer testers in our evaluations. Every single tester, regardless of age, body type or style preference, rated it as flattering.

They especially liked the ruching that hides belly bulges and the smoothing mesh in the back that prevents spillage often seen with tight-fitting bathing suits. Our testers gave it high ratings for feeling comfortable and supportive, but some did share that the leg openings felt a little too tight and wished they were cut higher for a less restrictive feel. When we assessed this suit in the Textiles Lab, the vibrant color didn't bleed, and there were no signs of wear after repeated washing.

No matter which way you choose to style it, this swimsuit shows off some skin while still shaping the tummy. The straps can be modified to create two different looks: Thread the strap through the front for a higher neckline with a cleavage cutout (as pictured), or loop the strap through the sides for a deeper halter neckline.

Ruching across the midsection creates a slimming look that online reviewers love, with one sharing that it helped her to feel beautiful in a swimsuit for the first time. While the material isn't as high-quality as other swim styles we've assessed, the suit overall is a great value for the price point.

We also love that this swimsuit is adjustable, so you're able to remove the padding from the cups and easily shorten or lengthen the straps to find the fit and level of coverage that works best for you.

Our testers rated a former version of this style the "most flattering" in our tests. This newer ombre version breaks up the body with lighter colors up top and darker colors at the waist and stomach, creating a visual slimming effect.

Along with the ombre coloring, the wrapped bodice design emphasizes the waist, smooths the stomach and shapes the torso. The wide straps aren't adjustable, but they do prevent the swimsuit from digging into the shoulders and offer chest support. Lands' End also carries petite, long, plus and long plus versions of the popular style, as well as options for D, DD and DDD cups to help you find the right fit.

If you're not a fan of the deep v-neck style, the brand offers other versions of this swimsuit including a sarong style for added coverage and a traditional maillot neckline. Lands' End claims the swimsuit is resistant to chlorine and sunscreen, but some online reviewers say the bold colors spot and fade after wearing the swimsuit in chlorinated water regularly.
