over weight just a bit
 
i went for an interview with an agent about two months ago and as i was desperate for him to take my case i told him i was sixteen stone ,i was really 18stone,at the interview he told me i would need to lose another stone so now i have to lose three :scared:

anyway i have lost a stone and a half so its the same again another stone and a half to go.jeez its hard work.

well i hope it will be worth it in the end.

anyone else had to strip a bit of weight for the medical :zzz: :beer:

Sunday will be my third week.,its not like being on a diet you can eat as much as you like but its the drinking thats a problem ,as water is not that nice all the time.

My hubby needs to lose about 5 stone :rolleyes: at least, but at the meds they weren't bothered about his weight at all. Nobody has ever questioned it.

No, STILL waiting I'm afraid, and hoping to leave here 3 weeks today :rolleyes: :eek:
But the reason for the delay has nothing to do with weight.

Aston Man - I wouldn't bother losing weight - you'll sweat it off working in that heat :D

try some herbal tea as an alternative to water - peppermint is good - will also help if you get stomach ache from all that fat and meat :)

as for being over weight at meds - well i was (still am actuall), my BP was up - had to be done 3 times -then it was okay - i passed so did OH who needed to lose a couple of stone.

I'm sure you'll be okay and you're not the first to worry about it either :o
