I can't google yet.. I don't have cream for my coffee which means no coffee.. which means i'm not exactly awake yet.
You can't google without coffee but you can figure out how to post a thread? :huh:0 -
I learned about Stone by watching BBC America love Watching "You are What You Eat" Jillian cracks me up!!! She also has some great tips and tricks!!
Jillian McKieth is INSANE ! x :explode: lol x
^^ This, and she has an unhealthy obsession with other people's *kitten*. (And she used to claim a Mickey Mouse doctorate).
She is the unhealthiest health guru I have ever seen, looks tired, bad posture0 -

That's just another step up, doesn't invalidate the Feet and inches, Stones and pounds point.
Sure it does, it emphasizes my point.
In yards, the average man and an NBA player are the same basic height. In stones an obese person and a healthy person are in the same range.
Height in inches may be cumbersome, but it is descriptive0 -
But when you describe your weight in stones, 145 lbs would be "10 stone, 5pounds". You would not round it to 10 stone.
Also, there have been 10 stones, Rolling Stones that is:
Members
Mick Jagger
Keith Richards
Charlie Watts
Ronnie Wood
Past members
Brian Jones
Ian Stewart
Tony Chapman
**** Taylor
Bill Wyman

There is no way an obese and a healthy weight person would be in the same stone range, and as the previous poster said, you say for instance, 8 stone 10 lbs, which is what I am. I wouldn't say I weighed 8 stone, because I don't, but the dealing with smaller numbers does make it easier to make a quick judgement on the weight involved. I know I should weigh between 8 and 10 stone. Those are easier and quicker numbers to deal with than 115 - 140 lbs or whatever.0 -
Yesterday I was 10 stone even.
Today I am 9 stone 13lbs. Happy happy.
See how much better this sounds than I was 140lbs, now I am 139lbs. Just doesn't sound as good.0 -
Stones are always used here in the UK
They are but I've set my scales to pounds. So much easier to calculate loss when I'm bleary eyed in the morning!0 -
So let me get this straight......in the UK: 10 stone = 140 pounds = bar total for a crazy night at the pubs.....
We pay each time we buy a round rather than running a tab. I've never spent anything like that on a night out!0 -

Methinks a bit too much do as I say, not do as I do! :huh:0 -
UK went metric over 10 years ago ie g, kg , cm, m etc to comply with europe but we've been brought up with imperial (st, lbs, inches, feet)so old habits die hard so majority still use old measurement.
I was taught metric at school (80s) but then left and everyone was using imperial so got used to that.. I tend to use either one depending what its for.0 -
It just makes us Brits appear lighter. 14 stone sounds far better than 196lbs.
^^^^^ Love it!0 -
Its pre metric weight, i.e. in Australia we used to use stones and pounds then changed to metric years ago. :flowerforyou:0
