The team said it knows that 2020 was an extremely challenging year for everyone, and that routines, motivation, emotional health and people’s abilities to continue their usual activities were all impacted in some way.
As a result, the experts want to remind residents that it’s not unusual to notice differences in weight and wellbeing.
Natalie Belt, service manager at Your Health, said: “Losing weight helps people feel better, inside and out and ensures people are healthier and more able to fight diseases.

“It’s more important than ever that we all put our health and wellbeing first.
“If you need extra support to achieve your goals, our team would be pleased to help you.”
