Can anyone please tell me what's involved with the medical screening form.
Thank you.

Nothing's involved as such. Just answer a few simple medical questions, which should be mainly answered "no". Unless you have any quite serious illnesses you should be ok to do the programme.

Yes, it sounds so scary when you hear that you have to have a medical screen. It's just a yes/no tick chart for different medical conditions. As long as you don't suffer with any then you can start the programme straight away. Quite a few people at my class have pre-exsisting med conditions so they needed to get their doctor to sign a form saying they could do it....the docs signed no problem at all because of the benefits.

When are you thinking of starting? Are you doing it online or via a class ? x

Good luck with it..certainly the best thing I've done this year! x

Thanks again Happykitten for taking the time to reply to all my posts :-)
I am hoping to join a class and start in a weeks time.
How long have you been doing W8?, I am glad to hear it is such a positive thing for you and wish you all the best with it :-)

I've been doing it for 15 weeks....once you get over the first few weeks it's really not that bad. I've managed to stick to it while on holiday, celebrating my 30th and going to several weddings. The countdown is on for me to finish....if I loose 2 pounds a week I should go onto maintenance the week before Christmas. Ideally I'd like it to happen sooner but just being realistic.
Which part of the country are you from? x
