Deciding to take the first step towards losing weight can feel daunting and even overwhelming - but we're here to help you every step of the way.
At Live Life Better Derbyshire we provide support, help and advice for you to successfully lose weight, and keep it off, for good.
Losing weight isn't just about the numbers on the scales - it's about how you feel inside.
It’s about taking a broader approach to weight loss instead of just focusing on dieting or what's on your plate.
We’ll support you with personalised advice, a variety of support options, online tools and more.
But we’re different to other weight loss programmes as we also look at the emotional and psychological elements of weight management as well as concentrating on the food that you are actually eating.
How to take part
In order to take part in our weight management service you'll need to be:
- Aged 18 or over
- Live in Derbyshire
- Have a BMI of 25+ or 23+ if you are of black or asian ethnicity.

If you’re not eligible for any of our free services, then you can use some of our suggested useful tools for some great self-help support.
Weight Loss Medication
Live Life Better Derbyshire sits in Derbyshire County Council’s Public Health Department and as such we are unable to prescribe weight loss medication, including injections.
