If 141 pounds is 10 stone 1, how come 137 pounds is 9 stone 7?

[Dontfeellikeaskeleton]

It's only 4 pounds less, but there's 14 pounds in a stone. Is it me?

Just stick with metric. It's 2018.

This. Unless OP is American, why on Earth use pounds?

Has the op got her job title wrong? Or am I confused? I thought it was actuary?

Ok donkey, OP should stick to tracking her mass loss in kg ;)

It is actuary. Which makes me doubt that she is one...

Yes, you’re an “actuarist”, who doesn’t understand the difference between 9.7 stone and 9st 7lb

Pull the other one, it’s got bells on.

137/14 = 9.78..... looks like someone doesn't understand decimals and has taken the .7 as 7 pounds. A common error in schools when doing time calculations, I used to tell my classes about their sexy calculator button!

Has the op got her job title wrong?

If she's as shite with numbers as this thread implies, getting her job title wrong is the least of her worries.

looks like someone doesn't understand decimals

Yeah, someone who supposedly works with stats for a living, in a job that she can't name correctly and that generally requires a maths degree 

@siakcaci it's just what I thought when I first started my diet and converted my KG weight into stones, I'm not very good with numbers and I thought it meant stones and pounds 😊

You know OP I do actually see where you’re coming from.

I had similar issues when I used to take premature DS for his weekly weigh ins

Google doesn’t help either does it

Thanks worieddd and eloliphant. Google certainly doesn't help.
