Lose A Million Pounds!

It seems the city of Liverpool is setting an ambitious example for the rest of the UK, after launching the Lose A Million campaign.

It’s aim is simple; to improve the health and wellbeing of residents living and working in Liverpool by losing 1 million pounds in weight!

The obesity epidemic is well and truly here. In Liverpool alone, it is estimated more than 76,000 adults are now dangerously overweight and more than 13,000 children are dangerously obese. The Lose A Million campaign is recruiting now! So if you live or work in Liverpool sign up to the challenge by calling 0800 012 1733 or visiting the website www.liverpoolchallenge.nhs.uk. Once you’re registered, you will be given personalised advice about healthy eating and where you can exercise in the city of Liverpool.

Community-based health trainers and dieticians will also be on hand to provide support. All participants will receive a starter pack containing information about achieving a healthy weight.
