To mark six years of obesity support today UK website www.bigmatters.co.uk issued its latest online newsletter and joins Twitter as a mark of how both the awareness of obesity and the use of the internet has changed since its launch. This year will also bring a new look to the website and more information on nationwide initiatives to help obese people. Big Matters invites anyone running a specific service to help obese people be it fitness, support, school based, private or council owned to get in touch. There are many regions with practical services for losing weight, obesity surgery support and family aimed projects but people need to know what is in their area and Big Matters aims to bring this information together with the input of everyone working in the sector.

Being overweight can be very isolating and Big Matters aims to help people interact with others in the same position and create a support network. Obesity is not limited by age, race or background. The coming months will see the continued expansion of information and services for young people in addition to its organic approach of reacting where possible to request from its visitors.

It actively encourages people to get in touch, be they two stone or twenty overweight, a voice for anyone with a weight problem in the UK and no doubt the coming year will be even busier as , for the present time, there is no end in site for the rise of obesity in the UK.
