Two target groups:
1.Women who have had a baby (from 3 months up to 2 years after childbirth) and, who currently have a body mass index (BMI) >˜30 and <40 kg/m2. Women should have previously had a BMI >˜30 and <40 kg/m2 before pregnancy.
2. The other target group are men who have been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and have a BMI >˜30 and <40 kg/m2.
3. Participants must have access to the internet (this can be in any location [home, office, public location] or on any device [desktop computer, laptop or mobile phone])
1. Patients over BMI 40 kg/m2. When a patient reaches a BMI 40kg/m2 lifestyle modification may no longer be appropriate and bariatric surgery may be recommended (National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence, 2006), making it unsuitable for them to take part in the study.
2. Patients unable to access the internet
3. Patients unable to give written informed consent in English. These patients would be excluded as they would be unable to randomise to the internet intervention which is only available in English. The resources are not available to use a translator in this study or produce the web-based resources in other languages.
4. Patients identified by their GP as having a contraindication making the weight loss intervention inappropriate to recommend
5. Patients who are currently pregnant will be excluded from the study
