Words cannot describe how happy I am for you.
Last year I dropped 2 stone after I went on a mega-regime. I know how hard it is, but I've never looked back. My body feels amazing to live in now - if you want motivation, advice, help or comfort just drop me an orgnote. I'm being serious; I tried a lot including starvation and sadly the only real way to lose it (guaranteed™) is to exercise and eat well. It's kinda slow and difficult because it's not instant, but it's totally sustainable and, once you get into it, totally addictive. I lost a stone in 2 weeks at one point.

And that in kilos is...

1 stone = 6.3 kilos

2 stone=12.6 kilos

I needed 43 minutes to do the math

great news Carrie

PANDURITO said:

so that's how many AMERICAN pounds then?

IrresistibleB1tch said:

There are still 14 pounds in your stone!!

PREDOMINANT said:

I only remember that because I have a visual image in my head of an actual stone with £ notes sticking out of it! My Dad first told me that one....

susannah said:

So that would be $1.8 to the pound and therefore 1.8 x 14 pounds in the US stone so 22.5

PREDOMINANT said:

Dont think youre smart just because youre a boffin!

PREDOMINANT said:

it just drives me nuts that a kilo has 2 metric pounds, but 2.2 standard american pounds.

IrresistibleB1tch said:

See, here there are no such thing as metric pounds. Thats an oxymoron!

susannah said:

At your service

Hey, you, American and British ****s

Get metric!

susannah said:

You are kidding, there really are differnet pounds as well as pints?

Did somebody loose all the conversion tables on Mayflower or something, did they get a bit soggy and some bloke just filled in the gaps

susannah said:

you mean when i was taught that 500g is a pound, they lied to me?

PREDOMINANT said:

I was fairly structured in the beginning and I still go through weeks like that here and there, but mostly I'm down to the 'every choice counts' philosophy. But I'm not doing any fad diets or no carbs or any nonsense like that. It's all of my own design. Just counting calories and such.
The exercise helps (obviously), but I think for me it's mostly the food choices. Though I think at this point I'm just willing it away as well, cause I'll have weeks where I'll feel like I ate awfully and I'll still have lost.
