Default What does "__ stone __" mean?

I see people refer to their weight (at least, I think that's what they are referring to) by saying "14 stone 3" (for example)? What the heck does that mean, please??

Ok, a stone is a british weight measurement.

1 stone = 14 lbs.

I am sure it will only be the British that you have seen type like that.

Thank you for the responses -- that had been bugging me!

I agree, Lisa... 18 stone sounds much better to me.

HEY!! I'm only 14 stone 11. I like this game. I think I'll use stones for how much I weigh currently and lbs for how much I've lost.

lbs on the scales and then every 14lbs there is the stone mark.

Does that help?
