too fat to fly?

I'm coming up to doing my initial class 1 medical and I'm not in what you call fantastic shape.
I was wondering about 2 things?

i) What are the main things people flunk the medical for and

ii) Can you be too big to be a Pilot? I'm 6'2 and 15 1/2 stone which isnt exactly the Size of a Bok second row I know but isnt the max height 6'2 and I presume being reasonably fit is important when (if) you get to an airline.

Apologies if I am raving and thanks in advance for any replies.
