    Okay I need to have a translation here.  Is a stone like...a pound?

    Hi Judy

     

    A stone is fourteen pounds. I weighed 147lbs to begin with thats ten and a half stone and a BMI of 27 so too much for 5ft.

    Nice one! Ha ha, I feel like i'm at the beginning of that journey having recently weighed myself and getting a nice little shock. So exercise and cutting back on carbs works? And more fish? Sounds like a plan! Thanks Laughing

    Thanks pixie

     

    Well done to you too. The good thing about eating more fish and less carbs(I still eat them just not so much bread and smaller portions of rice and potatoes) is that I haven't felt hungry, so it's easier to stick to. Thanks again for the support.
