As a support group we encourage our members to be healthy at any weight rather than slim at any cost.  There is not much fun attached to obesity, but laughter is great medicine and we certainly believe you need a good dose fairly often.  It is with great joy that we can celebrate our very existence as part of the Healthy Slimmers Fellowship Support Group.  

Today we have fourteen clubs in our fellowship.  Our overall membership has declined, but we are still a force that is strong in the slimming industry.  Many of our clubs have been established since the early 70’s.  Our fellowship is based on group therapy, which are people with a weight problem getting together and frankly discussing it without fear of ridicule.  It is not a course of short duration, but a planned program dedicated to helping the overweight without fads or crash diets.  Our fellowship offers love, friendship, camaraderie, support, understanding and most of all a sense of belonging, a fantastic group to belong to.
