Thread: Slimming World Password

I would like all members to please refrain from posting the slimming world password on the open forum.

I recieved an email today from Slimming World about this. Please see the email posted below.

Regards,

Dear Administrator,

I’ve received a letter from a Slimming World member who is very disappointed to see that the password for LifelineOnline is being shared on your forum. Whilst I can see that your forum is a source of mid-week support and motivation for many members – and possibly non-members too – I would appreciate it if you could ensure that the password isn’t published on your pages.

Group members pay a weekly fee which includes exclusive access to the site. LifelineOnline is an extension of Slimming World, rather than a support system in itself, by passing the password on to non-members it is depriving them of experiencing for themselves the unique support of a Slimming World group and Image Therapy. We are the only slimming company that allows members free access to a member’s website via a password (other companies charge for this service); if the password continues to be made available to non-members on unofficial forums, we may have to review LifelineOnline ‘free’ status.

We do take this seriously because we want to offer our members the very best online support and help for free. I hope you can appreciate that and are able to action this on your support forum as soon as possible.

Yours sincerely

Nicola Slack
Slimming World Assistant Website Editor

Hi i am new to this site. I joined sw mid jan 2006 and lost 5 stone by may 2007 - my target weight. I have maintained this, but have been unable to attend class for a while due to going back to night classes at college. the consultant changed around the same time and i dont have any contacts now to get the password as several friends have also left the class. Is there any way I can get this??

You need to be a SW member to get the password

Why not join as a slimming world on-line member via the bodyoptimise site?

i didn't ask what the password was last night for this week i was in a rush i had to get to work i am currently using last weeks password which still works but when will it stop working?

not sure to be honest, but you could always phone your consultant and she would be able to tell you

oh brilliant thanks for replying x

isnt it funny how they emphasize that people who go to the classes PAY and in turn get access to the website for free. its a joke just like all other slimming clubs all they are interested in is making money. So what about people who cannot afford to go to the group meetings, is this fair NO! so basically if you dont pay to come to classes you cannot do slimming world at all even though it might be the best diet and support network for you, who cares if they dont get their money they dont give two hoots about anyone! and thats sure the truth!!!!

At the end of the day, Slimming World is a business. It is not a charity or a public service. Neither is any other slimming club.

For free dieting support see your doctor and ask to be referred to a dietician.

I pay £4.50 a week for the support of my consultant and access to the website. Why should the website be free to people who don't pay? THAT would be unfair to the SW members.

I think it's easy to forget that SW wasn't just devised Xamount of years ago and now it's just pure profit. There is a team of scientists and nutritionalists working full time on research and analysis to make sure the plans are up to date and to make this as easy as possible for us to do. THAT alone will cost SW a fortune! The websites are constantly updated and maintained by yet another team who have to be paid. Add to that the consultants who have to buy their suplies and pay for the venue each week, our £4.50 really doesn't go very far at all. I probably earn more than my consultant does so I don't think it's fair to accuse it of being fully profit focussed. Of course they make a profit, it's a business. The fact is, there are other options for people who can't afford to attend weekly meetings and these include online and postal memberships for one-off fees. Also, as Sue correctly says, you can ask your doctor for help. Many regions now do the vouchers for SW which you can get for free from your nurse at your surgery.

SW is still one of the cheapest slimming clubs around and members benefit from the free website as part of the weekly fees. If it was available to anyone and everyone there would be a fee to join the site and that's not fair to people who pay each week.

BUT tbh, the very fact that you are here means you have already accessed the best support network any dieter could ever want. This forum is full of people willing to support, encourage and advise where needed. We are a strong community with one common goal and no one judges, ridicules or is nasty to anyone else. Take a good look around here and ask questions. Start a diary so we can all get to know you better and help you where you need it x

well said taz, cant rep ya, need to spread it around x

Repped on behalf of me and Vix - hear hear x

Thank you girls.

At the end of the day SW like everything else is a business. Why on earth should they give their formula away for free, theyre not a public service. Quite honestly I dont think £4.50 is much to pay for any slimming club.
