You learn something every day.
I did not know that the BMI was 35 and looking around my mates I think that this does not always gets enforced. Or is this only for the initial issue of a medical?
I can not speak for others but realised very much some 5 weeks ago that I had to shed some as my medical comes up again this summer.
Managed to shed 10 kg in 5 weeks by sticking to the Atkins diet. Have been worried about trying it for a long time but the recent series of diettrials convinced me to give it a go.
Only 20 kg more to go to be my former sleek self!
Good luck with your renewal.
The stuff said about your underactive thyroid is correct. However too many folk blame poor control of their weight on their thyroid problems.
