Philippa is just one of the residents who has benefited from this programme. She says:
"I can honestly say that it has been a totally positive experience and has spurred me on in my quest to achieve a healthier lifestyle and sustainable weight loss.
“It is rare to find a course that provides such a positive and educational experience and has the added benefit of helping me to lose weight.”
Councillor Roy Briscoe, Chichester District Council’s Cabinet Member for Community Services and Culture, says:
“Because each programme is tailored for the individual, after taking a considered look at their lifestyle and eating habits, we have found that they really work.
“By combining that with face-to-face and virtual support, residents stand a much greater chance of sustainably losing weight. Making important changes to their habits, with the help of a qualified nutritional therapist, will have a lasting positive impact on their health and wellbeing.”
To be eligible for the course you must be above a healthy weight (with a BMI of 25 to 40).
The 12-week course is free of charge and residents can sign up or for more information by contacting the Chichester Wellbeing team on 01243 521041 or by emailing: weighbetterlife@chichester.gov.uk
