: : ...I have no idea what stuff is in pounds! Diets bite but well done for losing any weight at all!! Its very hard with all the nice sugary crap tempting you to eat it all the time!
: : Btw, don't not eat - especially if you're exercising - eat just vegetables and fruit...no calories in nearly all veg and minimal calories in fruit with fructose for energy :)
weight in general. I understand that it is invariably broken down into smaller units, but why if that's the case, why use stones at all? Why not use something a bit smaller, for more accuracy in day-to-day use? Of course, we use pounds over here, and that's not much better. Why 16 ounces to a pound? Why? I think we should move to SI units. I use them so much in physics, they are like second nature. And they make so much more sense.
What was I talking about?
