I'm a size 14 have only been for about the last year.........and whilst I guess I COULD lose a few pounds I wouldn't consider myself overweight enough for an overweight GP to mention it lol xx |

You can find the BMI stuff on line and do your own calculations. ;) |

I suffer from constant ear infections. Loads of probs over the years, couple of operations etc. A doctor once asked me "on the scale of 1 to 10, how does the pain compare to childbirth?". Duh.... how would he know? |

Hello Elizabeth, as Janey has already said, you can do your own BMI calculations online .... but these are only a guide, and do not take into account bone density or muscles ... so can't really be used to determine if you are over-weight or not ! .... maybe ask to see the practice nurse if your surgery has one .... she should be able to do the calculations for you ... if you are worried :) good luck x |

Nothing has yet been said about height! It has a lot to do with it. So does bone structure. A size 14 would be more overweight for a person who is 4ft 10ins - but more underweight if the person was 5ft 9ins. |

Unless you are very short Elisabeth, it is unlikely you are much overweight if you are wearing a size 14. |

Have to admit, I've always felt like I was on the "thin" side. I remember spotting a thing on the computer screen when I saw one of the practice nurses a few months back - when I came back from uni, I estimated my weight on the new patient questionnaire as 50kg (or 7st 12lb to me!) and on the screen it said my ideal weight "should be" 53.5kg. |
