•Current inclusion criteria as of 19/02/2013:
•Any patient, during a recruitment session, that is:
•1\. Identified with a body mass index (BMI) greater or equal to 30 (or greater than or equal to 25 for South Asian population groups)
•2\. Identified with excess body fat
•3\. 18 years of age or older, either sex
•4\. Willing to be randomised, consent and comply with study procedures
•5\. Willing to possibly have the brief intervention component of their GP consultation recorded for the purpose of fidelity checks
•Previous inclusion criteria until 19/02/2013:
•Any patient, during a recruitment session, that is:
•1\. Identified with a body mass index (BMI) greater or equal to 30

•1\. Pregnant or intending to become pregnant during the trial period, i.e. the next 12 months
•2\. Currently or within the past three months participated in a weight management programme (including pharmacotherapy or bariatric surgery)
•3\. Unable to understand and speak English sufficiently to give informed consent and complete the research assessments
•4\. Visiting the GP for weight management
•5\. The GP deems it inappropriate to make an opportunistic intervention on weight management. This includes personal medical reasons known to the GP, such as an eating disorder, or reasons related to the consultation e.g. the patient has become distressed and it would seem insensitive to make such an intervention at this time. If the GP does not consider it appropriate, then the patient will not be enrolled and randomised into the trial
