Hope this helps?

Im worried about my weight as well. Although if I had my chest reduced, Im sure I would be a stone lighter.
I do think though, if anyone feels they need to lose weight for their medical, they should aim to do it long term and for their health and not just for the medical.
But as you say Kevin, I might just book a table at Pizza hut first.

Re: Can you fail your medical for being too fat?
I was a bit worried about my weight as well (5'4 and 12 stone) but I was fine, I'm sure someone on here knows what you could possibly fail on (Body Mass Index I think), thing is, no one on this forum seems to have failed because of being a lard arse.
For emigrating to the USA allegedly it is the opposite, if you weigh less than 16 stone you can't even apply. No TRA or skills testing there, you get more points for the heavier you are (and the smaller your brain is). Apparently if you weigh 20 stone or more you can go straight to the USA without any form filling at all.
Is this true??

I've heard that as well. But you have to get past customs. I understand that unless you bring a substantial amount of food with you you might be seen to be a drain on the US food supply!
The only forms you need are to wrap your chocolate in!

Re: Can you fail your medical for being too fat?
On a serious note, if you have a pint of juice in the morning (breakfast) made from carrots, apples and pineapple you will not be hungry until lunchtime. Then have a tin of mackerel or tuna for lunch then some rainbow trout for tea.
Give it a month or so and you will be as slim as kate moss
That's my serious comment for this year, now I will continue with all the mindless stuff!!
