my partner pointed this out to me a year ago - i'd been mis-reading them like a choob since 2002!!
for example, i thought they said 11.2.5, as in 11 stones and 2 lbs, and 0.5 of a lbs.
but they dont say that, they say 11.25, theres no second decimal point, so they actually mean 11 stones and a quarter of a stone (thats the .25)
we only noticed this because he's an aussie so goes in kgs, and we weighed ourselves in stones and kgs to keep a chart of our weightloss on the fridge, then one day i went on a weight converter site and realised they didnt match up!
so now i weigh in kgs and then use a weight converter website to get the pounds.
so i guess over the years i've lost more than i thought, and at times less than i thought - doh!
