Slimming World Slim With Pat and you during the current covid situation.

Across all walks of life, people have had to adjust to a new normal. Not just a new normal, but an ever changing normal, with covid restrictions being raised and dropped, new guidances being issued, new measures to keep everyone safe.

First off, let's be really clear! We are going nowhere :) - we can and always will be able to adapt to whatever the situation throws at us, and still support your weight loss journey!

When you join our group you get,

Support, encouragement and motivation from your group of like minded individuals and dedicated consulant.

All the experience, tips, tricks and meal ideas you can handle.

A fabulous food plan, allowing you to still eat all your favourite meals and still lose weight.

Access to our members website full of motivation, tools, articles and recipes.

Access to our smart phone app (including new barcode scanner)

Optional Access to a closed and private Facebook support group.

And Optional Image Therapy / Group – where members meet together to celebrate success and help each other overcome any challenges faced.

For us personally as such at Slim With Pat groups we have 3 levels / versions of that Image Therapy Group available to us depending on what level of restrictions are in place.

Option 1 (During Level 1 and 2 Restrictions). – Members weigh in at group on our scales and can still sit down together for a meeting after – with all the appropriate covid safety precautions in place to keep our members safe and sound. We've worked very hard to be able to offer this service!

Option 2 (During Level 3 Restrictions). – In this scenario, our Blakestown Community Centre group is open for weigh in and shop etc on Wednesday evenings and Thursday mornings, with our group meeting taking place online via Zoom shortly after weigh in.

Option 3 (During Level 4 and 5 restrictions) – Where our venues can't open for weigh in like in Option 2, our members weigh in at home on their own scales, submit weigh in results and a group image therapy session takes place online via Zoom around the same time as normal group would take place.

Obviously Option 1 is our best case scenario (short of covid being gone completely and everything going back to the way it was beforehand!) But we are always here, week in and week out, no matter what restrictions are in place, because we know how important being a member is, and how that weekly weigh in and top up of motivation and encouragement is needed, no matter if that comes from a physical location or online.

The main thing is being part of your group, helping you and supporting you stay on track on your journey – no matter what life throws at us.
