Weight units can be difficult to understand in terms of visual size, so for a bit of fun, I’ve put together this article to help you compare your weight loss to some everyday food and drink items
Each item is compared to stone multiples from half a stone to five in charts, so you can quickly find the information you need
A stone is a unit of weight mainly used in the UK and is a unit that has been used over the years as a marker of weight loss
Losing a stone is a major achievement and landmark in a weight loss journey where you have multiple pounds to lose to reach your desired goal
