    I like the stone measurements it gives me a smaller number to hit maybe more achievable when it does not look like a mountain

    I need to lose about 3 stone



    AND, by the way, there is nothing INFORMAL about a stone - it is exactly 14 lbs and everyone of those pounds weighs heavily on the soul.

    Sorry, didn't mean to offend. Just copied and pasted a FORMAL definition. Someone asked a question and I was just trying to be helpful. I think by "informal" the dictionary means it originated as a vernacular term rather than an official unit of measurement.

    100 is first aim (to get me 'just' under 200) , then take it from there...

    Ps. I think stone is seen as informal these days as its part of the old imperial measurements (but then again pretty much all bathroom scales you buy in the uk will be measured in stones) - its just what we're used to in blighty...

    I have 135 lbs to lose. I just started my weight loss journey and would love to be able to give extra support and get some in return.

    Quite right! I suppose to non-Brits it may seem a bit odd but a stone is as good a measurement as any other! I have 7 of them to lose (otherwise known as 98lbs) so am going to be here a while!

    I'm curious. Why do you find what I said so offensive? I didn't come up with that definition myself. I more or less knew the basic definition, but I wasn't sure of the equivalent weight in terms of pounds so I googled it and found that definition. Wasn't trying to be condescending in any way. I was just trying to answer someone's question.

    Oh dear! I seem to have made quite the wrong impression.

    No worries - I'm not offended - just being pedantic. We cherish our stones - even though we now weigh in kilos mostly

    they weigh heavily on the soles too

    I need to lose about 200lbs. It is carzy to even think about it. (I just freaked myself out, like somehow it's a surprize) I am in OA, so I just have to move toward recovery one day at a time.
