Thanks for the tour. I am new and find much support reading the posts. Hope I can be one of neighbors in this community. By the way, why do you use the term, "i have 6 "STONES" to lose? I am going low carb and have much to learn. This is day 2 and I not sure I am going about it correctly. I would appreciate all the input I can get. YES!! I am going to do it this time!!

Mini

Hi Jade,

Your very welcome and I hope you will make yourself at home

6 "STONES"

1 STONE is equal to 14 POUNDS in weight.

6 Stones is equal to 84 pounds.



The stone is a unit of weight and is part of the Imperial system of weights and measures used in the British Isles.

We have gone metric but many of us still use Imperial for our weigh-in's and cooking.

Best of luck on your diet journey and I look forward to reading your posts.

Love Mini xxx

Thank you so much for the welcome and I'm soooo excited about starting lighter life on Monday.

I have 10 stone to lose so know it will be a struggle at times but am fully prepared for the journey.

I am approaching the challenge with confidence and committment and I hope to make lots of friends of this board.. I already have emailed one person (via her website) and she was soo helpful!

Thank you for a great site
