how come if i convert pound i am on the scales in to stones then i work out at 13.6 but if i stand on the same scales and turn on the stone function im 13.9 ???? hmmmmmm

this is a differance of 3 pounds when im standing on the same scales

can anyone help me plesae

thanks

it might be because there's 14lb in a stone...

when you do the calculation 190/14 to get your 13.6, that means 0.6 of a stone, not 6lbs...

0.6 of a stone is 8.4lb. (14/10)*6

So 13.9 is the correct weight.

sorry if that sounds confusing! you just need to remember that 13.5 stone is not 13st5, its 13st7!

hope that helps!
