    I think you need to check your scales

    or do you mean you weight 10 stone and 0.8 of a lb?

    if so you've lost 0.48lbs

    Although I'd round it up to 1/2 lb

    10.1lb - 9.13lb = 2lb. Rounding 10.08 to 10.1, and 9.13.6 to 9.13. 14lbs in 1 stone.

    Or

    0.8lb + 0.4lb = 1.2lb

    I'd suggest changing your scale to lbs or kgs

    Why? That's the ideal rate of weight loss, the steadier you lose the more it'll be fat you're losing and not muscle. Keep going like that.

    Actually I think I made an error because I should have typed 0.08lb which is what I thought you meant for some reason

    you've lost 1.2lbs if the following is right measurements

    10 stone 0.8lbs = 140.8
    9 stone 13.6lbs = 139.6

    You've lost 0.48lbs if the first measurement was 10 stone and 0.08lb
    it depends how accurate your scales are

    ignore me - my head is going to explode

    If that was 10st .8 lb, you lost 1.2 pounds.

    If it was 10st .08lb, you lost .48 or about half a pound.

    If the original numbers were correct, you lost 8.4 pounds.

    I'm guessing it's 1.2 because 8.4 is just a lot to lose that fast and .48 requires a scale that weighs you to the hundredths, which most people don't have.

    Brush up on addition and subtraction, lol. You're going to need that! And congratulations!! :)

    What's a stone?

    You know, I've always hated that the U.S. still uses the imperial system instead of metrics, because seriously? Sixteen ounces to a pound is ridiculous math. But I'm really, really super glad that we don't use stones.

    1stone = 14lbs. Try converting THAT to lbs in your head! Ugh

    As above, a stone is 14 pounds. Wacky Brits! Always being so rebellious. ;)

    Having grown up with our system, I have no problems using it. Stones would fit in with our system really well, lol. I'm surprised we don't use them.

    The metric system is much easier, though. :)

    I like the UK since we use metric and imperial, beer comes in pints, pop comes in litres, we mainly weigh ourselves in stones, you check in your airport bags in KG, we normally do DIY measurements in cm and m but we travel in yards and miles! I can easily convert between them all since I talk to a lot of american and europeans, so I'll give them a size they're familiar with! I only get stuck on clothing sizes!
