Three weight management programmes are set to be launched in North Somerset - offering 12 weeks of free advice.
Residents have been encouraged to join the groups to reach and maintain a healthy body weight through lifestyle choices.
Cllr Mike Bell, North Somerset Council’s deputy leader, outlined the benefits of living a healthier life.
He said: “Having a healthy body weight can reduce your risk of a number of health conditions, including diabetes, heart disease, stroke and cancer.
“I am pleased we are working with local partners to making it easier for people to manage their weight and continuing with our commitment to tackling health inequalities across North Somerset, making our area open, fairer and greener.”
Of the programmes, two 'Choose 2 Lose' projects will run in Clevedon and Weston from later this month.
For Weston members, an introductory session will take place at Oxhouse Gym, on Winterstoke Road, on March 19 from noon to 1.30pm.
