I am so happy for you. I don't know how much a stone is. It sounds like a lot.

Woo Hoo for you.

hi Edie a stone is 14lbs. Most people here in Ireland and in the UK use stones as the unit of weightloss, e.g. I lost half a stone = I lost seven pounds. If we say how much we weigh then you can say I weigh 14 stone 2lbs which is 142 lbs. Hope this helps to decode some of the posts from Ireland or UK! In the rest of Europe it is mostly kilograms. One kilo is 2.2 lbs. By the way I have seen some of your posts and I have to say I am delighted for you on your great achievement. Well done and best of luck for the future.

sorry Edie - I got the math wrong - if you are 142 lbs then you are ten stone 2 lbs.
