Whats a stone? ??:

14 pounds = 1 stone


Units of weights
16 drams = 1 ounce
16 ounces = 1 pound
7 pounds = 1 clove
14 pounds = 1 stone
28 pounds = 1 tod
112 pounds = 1 hundredweight
364 pounds = 1 sack
2240 pounds = 1 ton
2 stones = 1 quarter
4 quarters = 1 hundredweight
20 hundredweight = 1 ton

So, to represent ones weight in stones, it must be a factor of 14?
John, 12.857 stone. :-)

You can do it :razz:
I went off the beer and just drank a lot of water sometimes W/ Scotch. Cut out the breads and pasta. Then I started swiming 3X a week. I went from 256# 18.28 stone to 215# 15.35 stone (I cheated over the holidays) I want to get to 200# 14.28 stone It is allways easer to make a kilt smaller than to streach it, alot easer than trying to make pants smaller. What do I know ask the real kilt makers here

Keep it going!!!

Thanks for the advice and support guys. I pretty much know what I need to do, it's just making myself do it!;) I'm off to a good start. I went walking three days during my four day weekend, including an 11km volksmarch on Saturday (the other days were shorter). I just need to keep that up and not find too many excuses. I have a plan for the distances I'm going to walk; now I need to map out some different routes so that I don't get bored.

Good Luck Dave!

I have the same goal for the new year. I purchased an Olive greren UK mocker off of eBay, but it is just a little too small. Need to lose 5-10 pounds (or just under a stone!) to fit into it comfortably. And I really want to wear it. I love the mockers and the color is awesome.

Okay, what is this volkswarch, and good god man- 11km. We just hike, its the BBQ stop afterwards that makes me get bigger clothing. Just went to Chubbys (Rte15 near Emmitsburg) before Christmas.
