Making Moves: Tier 2 adult weight management programme
Making Moves is designed to help adults living in Blackpool lose weight through a Public Health funded programme that provides behaviour change, nutritional advice and exercise.
During the programme you will learn about eating a balanced diet, how to control portion sizes, understand food labels and much more. The programme also provides guidance to help look after your own wellbeing and mental health. As well as a balanced diet, being more active is another way to lose weight and maintain weight loss. Each week we will deliver a different exercise during the sessions. We will also provide information about additional physical activates taking place in Blackpool, many of these will be free or low cost.
Throughout the 12 week programme, you will be able to track your weight loss progress using the resources provided. One of the main aims of the programme is to see a reduction in your start weight. Our friendly and approachable instructions will be there to support you along the way.

Making Moves participant feedback
“I’ve spent my whole life on a diet and nothing I have ever attempted before has been this informative and makes as much sense. For the first time I am starting to feel in control of my eating and not that I have to restrict certain things, and all this is after 2 weeks. I can’t speak highly enough of this programme.”
“Before being on Making Moves I felt ashamed to talk to people about my diet. But now I know that it’s about the healthiest I can be with what I have. Little changes each week haven’t felt overwhelming and I’ve stuck to it which is amazing for me.”
“Making Moves helped [with] getting out of the house, with motivation and mental health. It also helped with improving my eating habits.”
“Making Moves taught me to eat correctly, understand sugar intake and how important a healthy food balance is.”
What you will get:
- A 12 week programme which includes nutrition education, lifestyle behaviour change and exercise
- Small group environment
- A programme delivered close to home
- A choice of days and times
