Looking to lose weight but don’t know where to begin?
Your local NHS offers FREE weight loss programmes tailored to your goals – whether you want to lose a little or a lot!
If you’re overweight, losing weight has many health benefits. It might help reduce the risk of developing health conditions such as high blood pressure, heart disease and type 2 diabetes.
Making small, simple changes to what and how much you are eating and drinking can really help you lose the pounds.
Please note: From 20th November 2026, One You Lincolnshire will no longer accept new referrals to its weight management programmes.
