Wow! What a great difference! You look so healthy and beautiful
Congratulations, and keep up all your hard work. Definitely gave me my dose of inspiration for today.0 -
What an inspiration - it's so good to see other people's success stories. I have just finished Phase One of my journey and reached my first goal of 4stone which I lost since Jan 3rd 2012. Phase Two is 4 more stone by my birthday on November 5th.
For our overseas friends: 1 stone = 14lb. Wish I knew why it was called a stone too - I think deep in my recessed memory it's something to do with grindstones or millstones in the old days.......0 -

Found it:
History (United Kingdom)
The name "stone" derives from the use of stones for weights - a practice that dates back into antiquity. The ancient Hebrew Law against the carrying of "diverse weights, a large and a small"[2] is more literally translated as "you shall not carry a stone and a stone (אבן ואבן), a large and a small". There was no "standard" stone in the ancient Jewish world[3] but in Roman times weights that were crafted to an exact multiple of the Roman libra (pounds of 327.54 g)[4] used in commerce were often made of stone. During the Middle Ages, a good-sized rock was chosen as a local standard for weighing agricultural commodities, but its actual weight varied with the commodity and region. By the late Middle Ages, international trade such as England’s exportation of raw wool to Florence necessitated a fixed standard - in 1389 a royal statute by Edward III fixed the stone of wool at 14 lbs.[5]
In the United Kingdom potatoes were traditionally sold in stone and half-stone (14-pound and 7-pound, respectively) increments, but the Oxford English Dictionary contains examples including the following.[6]0 -
