There is loads of information on the site about different health issues but the bit that interested me the most was the health questionnaire.
After asking me about medical history, current weight and my diet as well as other aspects of my life the MyHealth questionnaire gave me my Patient Q score. This is where it gets a virtual queue of 100 patients from most unhealthy (1) to most healthy (100).
I was actually pleasantly surprised to find myself at number 55. Not that this is a good thing but I think if I had answered it a few weeks ago I would have been a lot higher. You see most of it is due to your diet, what you are eating at the moment. As I started Slimming World last week my diet at the moment is fantastic. Especially seen as I lost 7.5lbs this week.
There is still some worrying issues, I am still too heavy and my waistline is to big. Patient.co.uk even wrote out a referral letter for my doctor and told me to go and see them.
“laura, you are currently in the queue at position: Q55
This is a medium risk score. You could, however, move down the queue by at least 5 places to sit within the healthy range.

Its quite nice of them to care so much.. I found it really informative and as I loose more weight I will definitely be checking back to see when I reach the healthy range.
Why not take the quiz yourself you never know it might surprise you into doing something about your health.
