[blossom102]

Okay so not sure if I should post this here but didn't know where to post,and don't know if im being totally thick but.......a stone is 14lbs right,so today im weighing 11st 7,in lbs id work it out as 11x 14= 154 + 7lbs= 161lbs,but when I type 11.7 into the stone to lbs converter it comes up 163.8 lbs? I've had this problem before and don't know what's right? Help me pleaseee lol xx

It's 161lbs. The lb converter works on a decimal system and sees the .7 as 70% of one stone, not 50% of one stone, which it is! Just use a calculator, it's easier!
