Healthy weight
Support for adults over the age of 18 who want to lose weight and have been identified as obese
- Find out your BMI

You can get help to follow a more healthy diet from Gloji Hampshire if you're an adult living in Hampshire (but not Southampton or Portsmouth) and your body mass index (BMI) is above average.
Use the NHS calculator to find out your BMI. If it's too high, sign up for a programme that will help you lose weight.
- BMI of 30+
-
You can access free support from Gloji Hampshire if you are 18 or over with a BMI of 30+ (BMI ≥ 27.5 black, Asian and other ethnic minority groups, or those with specific long-term conditions). Young people aged 16 and 17 years may also access the service subject to GP/healthcare professional recommendation.
- BMI of 25+

If you have a Body Mass Index of 25 or higher, the NHS Weight Loss Plan will help you start healthier eating habits, be more active, and start losing weight.
This is aimed at beginners and will help get you into the habit of regular exercise over the course of the programme. It is structured but flexible enough to allow you to fit the exercise sessions around your other weekly commitments.
- If you are pregnant
-
A separate service is available to support eating healthily and being active during your pregnancy. Your midwife can provide information about this service and advise how it can be accessed.
- Healthy eating and being active
