Hey

Looking for some calculation advice

So I started 5 weeks ago at 15st 11lbs and I am now 14st8.5lbs

To me that is 16.5lbs overall but when I am calculating it if seems as though I have lost only 2.5lbs this week????

I went from 15st to 14 st8.5lbs this week can someone confirm this as 5.5lbs off this week? Xx

    there's 14 pounds in a stone, not 10 (which seems to be your calculation problem)

    15st would be 210lbs

    14st 8.5lb would be 204.5

    5.5lb lost :)

    ETA: congrats, btw!!

    Hi there,

    15st 11lbs = 221lbs (15 x 14lbs = 210 , plus 11lbs = 221)

    14st 8.5lbs = 204.5lbs (14 x 14lbs = 196, plus 8.5lbs = 204.5)

    221 - 204.5 = 16.5 lbs lost, in total.

    That's blumin brilliant in 5 weeks :bigsmile:

    Hope that helps :-)
