On today's Call You and Yours, we're asking - what have you tried to do to reach a healthy weight?
Any day now, UK chemists will start supplying the new Wegovy weight loss jab on prescription. You need to be overweight or obese to get it.
It mimics the action of a hormone, called GLP-1, that makes people feel fuller and less hungry, so they eat less.
People on it inject themselves once a week with pre-filled pens. In trials, it's helped obese people lose a tenth of their body weight. That's about two stone (12.7kg) on average.
But researchers have found that once people come off it they might regain most of the weight.
We want to know what you've been doing to reach a healthy weight. What's worked for you and what hasn't? Could this new drug make a difference to you?
Call us now on 03700 100 444. Lines are open at 11 am on Tuesday March 14th. You can also email us now at youandyours@bbc.co.uk
Don't forget to include a phone number so we can call you back.
