In church and community halls people gather for a weekly weigh-in with the hope of achieving their target weight, but are slimming clubs really effective?
In 2012, 27 million people in the UK were on a diet.
Tens of thousands of people pay to join slimming clubs and attend every week with the goal of dropping a dress size, getting into their favourite pair of jeans again or just feeling better about themselves.
Livy attends a slimming club with the aim of improving body confidence.
"People have this ideal image of if they're slim they're going to be happy and I very much think that."
