Hello everyone. Today’s article is a guest post from Dani Higginson of PureContent.com.

Let’s face it; most solo diets simply don’t work. Even if you can find the motivation to diet alone, unless you change your lifestyle forever, the weight will likely return and slap you in the face (and other body parts). There is help at hand however. According to the most recent research, group dieting is much more successful than individual dieting, especially in terms of keeping the weight off for good.
Group diet plans have helped countless people to lose weight and have been around for decades. While these are very effective, most slimming clubs and groups do charge, though there are prices to suit nearly every pocket.
There are many advantages of joining a weight loss group or programme. Groups are informal and there’s no shame or judgement, as everyone is there for the same reason. You might even find that the shared sense of competition – no-one wants to be the person that doesn’t lose weight – helps your motivation.
If you can’t afford to pay for a weight loss group, why not get together with some friends or family and offer each other some support and encouragement? Not only is there safety in numbers as the old saying goes, there is also victory.
Friends can make a weight loss group work, but it is advisable to have one person at the group who can record each person’s weight loss and keep track of goals. Make meeting time fun and light; share recipes and stories, and encourage each other to meet your specific, weight loss goals. If and when internal strife occurs over who lost a quarter of a pound more than someone else or something equally minor, it may be time to disband and join an official and objective weight loss group.
Using Weightwatchers Discount Codes and Weightwatchers Discount Vouchers, you can join and attend classes at a lower cost than the regular rate, which is £8.41 ($13.00 US) per meeting, plus a sign up fee of £19.41 ($30 US). Weight Watchers is a successful programme not just because of the food or the company, but because it targets the fundamental key to weight loss: behavioural change. Help and support is offered through weekly classes and mastering the monitoring of food intake is done via two types of dieting: a core system and a point system. You can also sign up online if you don’t want to go to meetings.
One of the great advantages to Weight Watchers is its workable philosophy. Its all-things-in-moderation approach with no forbidden foods renders less feeling of deprivation and gives you a way to eat your favourite foods in controlled portions. Nutritional education is provided as well, as is the promise of a slow, steady and sustainable weight loss.
Some of the more popular slimming clubs in the UK include: Rosemary Conley, Weight Watchers, Slimming Club, Slimming World, Slimmer UK, Weightcare and Slimtone.
