    The BMI also says that I would be considered 'healthy' if I were 7 stone (98 pounds). A nurse told me this when I enquired about weight loss and said there would be hardly anything on my body (I'd basically look skeletal) and 10 stone (140lbs) would be an ideal weight for my height (which was my goal anyway).

    Although it is widely recognised, nothing is perfect and it does have its flaws. Keep up the good work and use NSVs to measure your progress along with the number on your scale (when they agree with each other). I told my auntie I'd nearly lost a stone and she said it looked like I'd lost more than that.

    Numbers ain't everything :smile:

    :) a stone sounds so much nicer than a pound. hehe. I will just say from now on, I'm 14 stone. :D
