N.I.M.O.S meeting are friendly, joyful times. Members arrive and are weighed in. During this time free drinks are available.

Members pay their subscription. If they have lost weight they are expected to pay a thank offering of no less than £1 which is sent to food related charities. Members agree amongst themselves when and where to send these monies.

Any new members are welcomed at this time.

Weight loses are celebrated. Members receive a certificate and stickers for every half stone they loose. These are given out at this time.

A time of encouragement follows. The leader speaks to each member of the group congratulating those who have lost weight, acknowledging that staying the same is a triumph and encouraging others to persevere. Members are expected to have a care and concern for each other and to share any helpful ideas, food information and recipes they may have.

Sometimes there is food to sample if some one has cooked a Nimos recipe for everyone to try.

The leader gives a short talk based on one verse from the Bible. This is occasionally accompanied by short activities or games. The verse is always typed out so that each member can take it away and keep it to think about.

Members wash up their cups and may leave but are encouraged to stay for the prayer time that follows.

During the prayer time members can bring any issues they would like to pray about. (Generally these are not food related.)
