LOL!. Thank you for asking because I had the same question! But I think we all get it nowWww@Answer-Health@Com

Stone is your weight!
I don't understand when people say oh im 100lbs or whatever im thinking okay how much is that!?

In the UK most people say their weight in stone, its not a rock, that's like me asking if a pound is in actual english pounds (money)

14lbs or pounds is the same as 1 stone!. Like if i say my weight I would say, i weigh 8 stone 2 lbs =)

Just one of those funny differences in England and America!Www@Answer-Health@Com

No, it's not a rock!. There are 14 pounds in a stone!. if you are 7 stone 7 x 14 = 98 pounds!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
