UK Public health leader Peter Tiplady is leading the fight against obesity by example.
BMA (British Medical Association) committee for public health medicine and community health chairman Dr Tiplady has agreed to try to reduce his body mass index from an 'overweight' 30 to an 'ideal weight' 25, an estimated 15-20kg (3st or 42 pounds) by July next year. He said: 'Doctors have a responsibility to show the way.' And he has issued a challenge in BMA News for other doctors to join him.

Thus offering two possibilities as to where the change of heart came under pressure from!
Not that I am professing to be smart or anything like that but this is an unusual word in English as it has two spellings both of which are correct. I was reminded of this as I have been reading Henry V whilst I have been out over the last couple of days.
Hence: Henry V Act5/Sc2
"...Whose tenours and particular effects You have, enschedule'd in your hands."
and
John Foxes book of martyrs The Examination and condemnation of M. Iohn Bland Martyr.(1585)
"Touchyng the forme and tenor of the sentence, because al their sentences of course agree in one..."
Mean exactly the same but have different spellings even in a similar period.

This might score more points if Shakespeare had been able to spell even his own name consistently ;-)
My father always claimed that the only thing his father had in common with Shakespeare was that he varied the spelling of his surname as the mood took him.
