Discovery Vitality discriminates against pregnancy

I went and paid for a health check-up, saw a Dietitian and a Biokineticist and had all my measurements taken to obtain vitality points. I am pregnant with twins and therefor did not obtain several thousand points that I would normally receive because I fall within the range of Discovery's aim markers.<br> This is what the report reflected: You should work towards reaching and maintaining a trim waistline of less than 88. cm as excessive fat weight\<br> "BMI is a measure of your height in relation to your weight (wt/ht2). Try to reduce your BMI to between 18.5 and 24.9. This correlates to a weight range of 50.4-68.1 kg.\""<br> \""Your cholesterol is higher than the recommended norm of 5 mmol/l.\""<br> I am pregnant my cholesterol will be influenced"
