A quick translation for my fellow Americans....
1 stone = 14 pounds = 6.350 293 18 kg
Actually I've been on a diet myself since being diagnosed with mild diabetes back in January. Gone from 172 lbs back down to 156 by basically cutting out all soft drinks, milk, and those tempting chocolates that people at work keep buying at the wholesale store and offering up. Also exercising half an hour a day on a stationary bike.
I'd rather deal with exercise than insulin anyday.
