Visually understanding weight units can be difficult, so for some 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 in multiples of half a stone to five on the charts, so you can quickly find the information you’re looking for
The stone is a unit of weight predominantly used in the UK and has been used as a weight loss marker over the years
Losing a stone is a great achievement and a milestone in a weight loss journey where you need to lose multiple pounds to achieve your desired goal
Lard, a block of fat, is often used as a comparison with weight and fat loss
An average block of supermarket lard weighs 250g (88oz), so one stone equals 254 blocks in total
The table below converts more stone values to lard depending on what you need to know:
