is my chemist right?

On a mission
As you know I lost only 1lb this week. She measures me in kg and uses a LT weight conversion thingy and writes it down in my card in stones and lbs.

Now when I convert the kilos into pounds myself there is a 4lb difference.

Confused.:confused:

My weight is 100.6 kg - she put me down as 15.12 and I work it out to be 15.8

Who's right?

(Ps my scales at home afterwards said 15.10)
 
aaaaaaaaaaargh why can't they just do it in stone so it makes sense!!
 
good old maths will sort it.

there are 2.2lb in a kg so at 100.6kg = 221.3lb round up to 221.5lb for ease.

there are 14lbs in one stone so 221.5 divided by 14 (pounds in a stone) = 15.82 stones, not to be confused with 15 stone 8lbs...

15 times 14 (pounds) = 210lbs, leaving 11.5lbs

so you weigh 15 stone and 11.5lbs.

BUT NOT FOR LONG!!!!

as the LT fairy will shrink you!

good luck

yup not for long!!
can you tell I'm still miffed. I'll get over it next week
OMG what if I only lose one more lb!!!??
 
dont worry i bet you will have a cracking weight loss this week, just remember to keep drinking loads of water, it does help with fat loss, your body needs it to metabolise fat.

have at least 2 litres, maybe 3.

OMG You have lost more than 1 stone in less than 3 weeks - That is truly amazing

Ignore the 1 lb loss, it is a blip, and focus on the whole picture

WELL DONE x
 
Chele, don't get disheartened. I drank an average of 3.5L of water a day (excluding any coffee or shakes) and didn't cheat at all last week and I only lost 1.65lb. It isn't even my totm! My scales still haven't moved but I live in hope of a better loss this week.

We will do better, although it looks like I'm going 2 weeks until my next WI.

Good luck babe.

Sometimes your body just needs a week or so to catch up ... i had 2 weeks of 1lb losses.... you have lost loads and it will pck up again really soon!
Losses can be affected by alsorts of things... You will get there hun xx
 
Oh Nic I really hope so! I did wonder if I had hit a plateau. I shan't give up. I will lose this fat by hook or by crook!

Hun, dont worry.... your body is just struggling to keep up..or should that be down!!! it will all melt!!!
 
I always knew I was a bit slow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Lol!!!!

This body had better catch up pretty smartest coz I will get rid of the fat! I don't want to have another birthday looking like I ate all the cake!

Cake, mmm promised the children I'd make Brownies Saturday to welcome little one back from camp. I don't need to worry, they will help (by licking the bowl clean!!!!!) so no temptation for me!
