One in five adults is obese in the UK. The problem is seriously threatening the health of our nation. Obesity is not merely a matter of overeating: it's a complex arena with emotional and psychological issues at the root of it.

iVillage asks why are we getting so fat, looks at what's in food and how this is affecting our children. We also talk to five women about their brave journey to weight loss and the impact it's had on their lives.
