30, or 27 if you have a health condition related to being overweight.

Is this the upper threshold, sorry?

The quickest Google. From the Asda site.

30 unless you have high BP or high cholesterol when they will consider prescribing it from BMI of 27. They will need confirmation of the medical condition from your GP though.

I don't think there's an upper limit as far as I know.

I don't think there's an upper limit for starting BMI. If it helps mine was 50 (!) when I signed up, with Asda initially.

The lower limit is 30, or 27 in certain circs.

I was 53 BMI when I started😳

I have read of someone being turned down as the pharmacy reckoned they needed more support than they could provide. Unfortunately, I cannot remember what their bmi was🤦🏼‍♀️ Mine was 43 when I started.

Best of luck with the journey, it's a worthwhile one x
