Question Height/Weight BMI

Does anybody have any advice on the height/weight limits/regulations for the Class 1 Med ?

I am around 6ft 3 inches and weight app 17 stone - BMI jumps between 29 and 31.

The thing is, I may be classed as clinically obese but I am a generally well built guy, I am reasonably fit and strong and I think that my muscle mass is contributing to the weight.

I recently had a check up at the GP and my blood pressure, cholesterol, thyroid and blood sugar were all spot on.

The BMI figures do worry me though. Anyone with any experience or advice would be a great help. Apologies if some of this has already been said, I done a search but couldnt find exactley what I was after.

Regards

Lee
