just to clarify the bmi issue, if you do, or have ever done any form of exercise, especially resistance exercise you can be slim and be 'overweight' on the charts. Most GPs, physios and health professionals do not use the BMI chart for this reason..I am 5'7 and size 12 and am classed as overweight due to muscle mass from dancing, same as the majority of dancers (some size 8) that I used to dance with

That's right - the only reason that WHO adopted BMI in the first place is that it's cheap, and it's a good indicator for large numbers of people in a statistical sense. Using a very easy Waist-Hip ratio is a lot better for individuals - there's an example here:

Apologies for crashing the thread but I just don't get this body shape thing.

I have gained some weight over the past couple of years (sigh). I used to be a size 10/12, and weigh between 9 and ten stone. I am 5'7". Now I weigh 11 stone 10, and size 14 is a virtual impossibility. Has to be a sixteen! How can that be???

By the way, to keep on topic, the Alli is half price for the 42 pack in my local co-op pharmacy. I have bought two packs in an attempt to boost my diet and exercise plan.
