About the Class II medical...

I'm looking to start for my PPL soon... but was thinking about the medical you need to fly solo.

I'm a "bit" over weight (current 15st 8lb), 21 and 6ft tall. Do they asses you by looking at things like BMI etc? I'm not all that fit, can run 1.5miles at most at present (but working on it!). I'm a sucker for the bad things like chocolate, chips etc etc so my cholesterol is probably through the roof too.

Just a tad worried that I might get to 20 hours and think "woohooo solo time!" for the doc to say no.
