I have lost 3 stone 🙂
Or if you are not British, and so do not know about our bizarre system for weighing people, I have lost 42 pounds :-). If you are metric, I have lost 19.05 Kg.
The British use stones for weighing people. Stones are an Imperial form of measurement and were originally used for weighing agricultural produce for trading purposes. We no longer weigh agricultural produce in stones, just people. 1 stone is 14 pounds.
That was a significant milestone for me and I am delighted I made it. My next milestone is 50 pounds. I would like to lose that by Christmas.
So how much does 3 stone weigh. Or rather, what else weighs 3 stone so you can understand how much I have lost.
A newborn Calf
An average 5 year old boy
A bushel of apples (?)
19 litres of water.
No wonder moving around is easier !
I feel really pleased with myself. I was just disappointed to discover the WW consultant, Lisa, who I really liked, has had to leave. She was always very encouraging and she would have been really pleased. So I wish her luck with what she does next, and will continue on my weight loss journey without her cheerful smile and words of encouragement on a Monday evening.
What did I eat today? Who cares. I just lost 3 stone.
Three stone??? Zoe, that is AMAZING! Absolutely fantastic achievement, and with fab food, too! x
I know, I can hardly believe it. I think I still eat so much but then I, and every Nutritionist I have ever met ( I have met loads), believe that not all calories are equal and I think I am a living experiment and proof of that. 1,500 calories of white crap a day such as toast and cakes would not make me feel good and I may lose weight if I ate within my daily allowance but it would be a struggle. But when I eat real, natural, healthy food, I often go over my daily points/calorie allowance as I eat a lot of nuts and seeds and cheese, but I lose weight. Thanks for the support x
Well done, Zoe – that is amazing. Keep posting these great blogs and keep up the good work. Gx
Thank you Gini, I am feeling very pleased that I am keeping going. Glad you like the blogs xx
Well done – that’s fantastic. Keep going. xxxxx
Thank you. I think I am becoming a healthy eater. I told myself I could have a bar of my favourite Lindt licquer chocolate when I got to the 3 stone mark. But on the way home from WW I decided I didn’t want it!!! Can you believe it – I actually did not want a bar of Lindt?
Congratulations on reaching 3 stone.
Thank you. Feeling happy :-).
Well done Zozo, look forward to giving you a congratulatory hug on Saturday xx
Thank you. Look forward to collecting it!
HURRAY Zoe! YOU DID IT. I can’t wait for you to celebrate your new lifestyle change at 50 lbs.
Zoe, I am just so proud of you. Yes, moving around must be easier and your organs inside are saying “thank you and I love you for doing this for me.”

Thank you Lisa. Of course I understand, family always comes first. But I was disappointed you have left. It won’t be the same without you but enjoy your Monday evenings off 🙂
