Do you want to lose weight and get fitter for free?

Are you concerned about your weight?

Being overweight increases your risk of a range of health problems such as:

  • Diabetes
  • Hypertension (high blood pressure)
  • Coronary Heart Disease
  • Stroke
  • Cancer
  • Osteoarthritis

If you have been diagnosed with one of these conditions, losing weight and getting fitter can help improve your condition and reduce health risks.

 

What does it involve?

My Weight Matters is a 12 week programme combining dietary advice, physical activity and tips to help you gain control.
