Unless you are heavily obese and can't pass the medical they will put you through to GS anyway. The only test comes during ground school where you will be required to fit into the jumpseat harnesses. If you don't fit the harnesses, you will provably be offered to rejoin the next GS once you have lost some weight and can fit. You will need to fit both 320 and 321 harnesses to pass- You only get to fit the 321 harness when your on the a/c doing the famil. Roughly, if you are a size 16 you should fit ok. Don't stress too much on it
