There are many weight loss and weight management programmes that are available to help people to lose the pounds and to keep them off.
Everyone is different, so depending on personal circumstances a person may get along fine with a few tips or maybe some signposting to some activities and organisations.
If something a bit more structured or intensive is needed to succeed, there are options there too.
On this pages we've gathered together information for the different parts of the Frimley Health and Care area, including referral information to support you.
