Conor supports the My Weight, My Future campaign

Conor is supporting the Obesity Management Association’s My Weight, My Future campaign after hosting a reception for the charity in Parliament.

The campaign is urging the public to take control and responsibility for their weight and to ‘Know My BMI’ to reduce pressure on the NHS. BMI (or Body Mass Index) uses height and weight to determine the level of body fat and help indicate whether a person is a healthy weight. The charity urges people to know their BMI and the BMI of their family members and to check it every three months to monitor changes.
