Guest guest Posted January 31, 2005 Report Share Posted January 31, 2005 I always talk about weight loss in pounds -- 6 pounds sounds like a lot more than 2 1/2 kilos. :-) By the same token, I guess I should refer to weight gain in kilos. Annice - Do you think I'm hungry?????? I've lost nearly four kg this month . . . Best, Pat ;=) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 31, 2005 Report Share Posted January 31, 2005 I like to use bricks. I was once told that a brick is about 6 lbs (the small rectangle red bricks used for walls). It sounds great to be able to say " I lost a brick!).

Guest guest Posted January 31, 2005 Report Share Posted January 31, 2005 I was once told that I should think of losing weight as losing fat and therefore for every pound think of a pound of butter, wrapped and displayed in shop window (?). Lose 4 kg? okay, nearly nine pounds of cholesterol-laden butter, neatly wrapped in one-lb packs. Quite a stack! Wouldn't want that back on my bod! ;=) Best, Pat ;=) > keta@h... wrote:I like to use bricks. I was once told that a brick is about 6 lbs (the small rectangle red bricks used for walls).

Guest guest Posted January 31, 2005 Report Share Posted January 31, 2005 > How much is a stone? Very good! ;=) And a lot more than a six-pound brick, eh? I never have quite understood hanging onto the stone - 14 pounds is such an unlikely number to us now - but then so is 12 items in a dozen LOL Still, it's a habit - and I do it myself now and then - always switching around depending on who I'm talking to. For preference at home we use kilos. Best, Pat ;=) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
