If you're overweight, losing weight has many health benefits. People who are overweight have higher risk of heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, some types of cancer, arthritis and back pain.

Being underweight isn't good for your health either. If you are concerned about yourself or someone else, or you want to find out whether you are a healthy weight visit the Body Mass Index BMI on the NHS website.

How we can help

If you're struggling to achieve a healthy weight, Public Health Northamptonshire will fund a 12 week course to support you to reach your weight-loss goals.

If you attend at least 9 of your 12 sessions you may qualify for a further course. Your BMI must still be 28 or over and you must have lost at least 3 percent of your body weight on the first course. If this is the case then you can apply again, if these do not apply you won't be able to attend a second course.
