    I don't know that I've ever heard someone measure body weight in "stone." What's the conversion and where is this terminology mostly used?

    Thanks!

    A 'stone' is what we generally use in the UK and consists of (i think it's) 14lb!

    Ooh and hello Dean! :)

    Hi Dean
    I'm new too & hooked on this app! SO good to see someone quoting their weight in stones - I've got brain ache multiplying mine into lbs!! Congrats on your loss so far & good luck with the rest.
