    4-5 stone to go, having lost one so far.

    As an American, it seems less daunting to lose a few units, rather than dozens of units :)

    when you are starting out it always seems daunting, whether you have 1st to lose or 15st to lose. just take each day at a time, don't get downhearted on the weeks that the scales don't move....its a long term project... in theory a lifestyle change for the rest of your life.... i have lost just over 13st in about 26 months, and still have about another 5st to go. if you get your mind set right it gets easier... good luck to all of you.

    I have 6-7 Stone to lose, ive lost 2.5 Stone so far (35lbs) so 3.5 - 4.5 to go! Seems like such a long road ahead.

    I feel like such a dork, how much is a stone? I looked online and it gives me info on rocks and types, not weights.
    It sounds like quite a bit, good luck!
    You will feel better.

    A stone, I believe, is around 14 lbs. I have to lose around the same, but kinda proud of myself for losing 42 lbs already. It's been a hard road. I'm hoping that this app will help and I'll be able to meet some cool, encouraging people here. :smiley:

    Thanks ....*hmmmmm* 75-80 pounds divided by 14 equals lots of pounds and stones, no matter how you look at it!

    I like to set small goals because they are easier to reach and then keep the bigger goal in mind. Little goals add up to the big goal(s).
