    Wow from Ireland, welcome to the site the place to be. Its been really great for me. So what does a stone mean?? Is that the same as a pound?? I've seen that on a few people's blog. Well good luck!!:drinker:

    1 stone = 14 lbs.
    5 stone = 70 lbs.
    (stone never goes plural. 1 stone, 2 stone, 30 stone, etc.)

    Thanks for all the nice welcomes. I just finished my dinner and I am finally feeling full!

    Yes a stone is 14 pounds, sorry. So I need to lose about 70 lbs. (32kg)

    I am in Dublin. Doing OK so far, having lost 11lbs. My daughter had her 3rd birthday yesterday and I wasn't as bold as I could have been with a party full of sweets, chocolate cake, crisps etc. We were all SO tired today that I just couldn't do my walk. :yawn:

    I have to remember to check back here for posts as I am used to having email notification on other forums.

    Welcome! I'm from the US, but I'm half Irish and my little sister is a competitive Irish dancer, so I grew up with it. I tell ya, that is one AWESOME way to stay in shape, my sister is so muscular and fit! I want to visit Ireland one day, I think I have relatives over there still... it would be really cool to see the country and meet them.
