More than 70 per cent of adults in Telford & Wrekin are overweight or obese, putting it higher than the national average of 65 per cent.
It is also above the average figure for the West Midlands region, which is 66 per cent.
But while people in Telford need to slim down, those in the rest of Shropshire are slimline in comparison.
The Shropshire local authority area is below the English average, with 62 per cent of adults living in the area classed as overweight or obese.
