hey girls,
ye are all doing so well.
i had my weigh in earlier, but i am a bit confused about something and hope some of you that can do maths might help me....
i weighed myself at work after my weih in and scales were 82.3kg, so multiply by 2.2 = 181.06 lbs, then divide by 14 = 12.932.i thought i was 12stone 9lbs :onfire: but my weigh in weight today was 12stone 13lbs......
maths are not my strong point, can anyone make sense or tell me how to convert kg to stones and pounds?

thanks

Use this: http://www.convertunits.com/from/lbs/to/kg

Bear in mind that a scales can vary by abut 3lb either up or down.

the .932 is 93.2% of a stone = 13 lbs (a quick calculation is to multiply the 0.932 by 14lbs, gives you 13)

so you're 12st 13lbs. hope this helps.

Hi babymakes3

The 2.2lbs to kg is correct but if you work out 12 stone x 14lbs = 168 + 13 lbs = 181lbs, the .9 on a calculator is based on tenths, but there are 14lbs in a stone so .9= 9 tenths of a stone which is 13lbs, I've probably confused you even more but I always work out the full stones first and then the extra lbs.

Eg: 161lbs = 11st 7lbs but shows as 11.5 stone on a calculator so it is 11 and a half stone not 11st 5lbs

Hope this helps, probably not! :)

Girls I'm thrilled here. Lost 5.5 lbs this week. I weighed myself at home a few times and couldn't figure out why I didn't seem to be losing this week so I got stuck into the gym and uped my super speeds. Got my 3 stone award, now only 3 more to gol :lookround:

@babymakes3 - you're banging your head against a brick wall trying to get the same reading on any 2 scales! Apart from the rounding up/down on the conversion it could be as simple as the time of day, water consumption and different scales. Same thing happened me this week, but my scales at home seems to be weighing heavier thank God. :bigups:
