21 stone?! I swear you guys will use anything instead of metric
I’m impressed that it only took a quarter of a dozen fortnights.
Wow I could travel so many furloughs in that time period.
Stone only makes sense for people used to pounds, shillings and pence. For instance, “This costs 3 pound, 4 shilling and 8”, and, “I weight 12 stone, 6 pounds and 3 ounces”.
For the US users, that’s 0.79 Danny DeVitos
According to the questionable celebrity health statistics website I found… Danny DeVito is 70kg, which is 11 stone… So it’s more like the chef lost almost 1.9 Danny DeVitos. We Americans may have weird measuring systems, but we take them seriously!
My apologies, I accidentally divided by Dutch cask per stadion
Measuring in Smoots is a hill I will die on.
Had no idea kidney stones were that big
6 weeks?
Who the fuck measures anythin in stones?
People from the UK.
We still like pints and miles too.

With peer pressure you can do anything!
Try to pay attention to your food intake.
Anyone else a bit suspicious of a skinny chef?
Nah, most good chefs are cigarette addicted and depressed, that keeps them skinny
Most chefs I’ve known are addicted to a lot more than just cigarettes
And as an ex smoker I can tell you, cigarettes aren’t very good at keeping you skinny.
Work 18 hours, spend it on blow, crash in the alley by the dumpsters, wake up, work another 18 hours.
How do they taste anything? Smoking dulls your tastebuds.
Well I was in catering the owner was the taster and he didn’t smoke and drank only luke warm espresso in one gulp. I know because he explained it to me many times.

Yes very much so. There was this bakery I would go to when I was a teen who had the best chocolate chip cookies ever. The woman behind the counter stood taller than pretty much any woman I have ever seen and her obesity made me wonder how she could even stand.
He lost a lot of weight and all it took was daily malicious bullying?! How inspirational.
It’s not necessarily malicious – given general humour in this country, it’s likely he wanted to lose weight and asked his friend to text him that daily as a form of motivation.
Edit: however, I’d like to point out that consensually being sent that by a friend is fundamentally different to having abuse thrown at you by a stranger on the internet for your body shape.
How many pebbles in a stone, and stone in a boulder? It’s a convenient measurement, I’m sure.
1 stone is 14lbs, the uk still like to use imperial for measuring weight and height
Feedback is a gift when properly wrapped.
This brings me memories of fathate or whatever that fatfobic subreddit was called.
r/fatpeoplehate
They were so toxic that the site got noticeably better within 24 hours of them being banned.
They all migrated to Voat. Later, people from r/The_Donald also tried to join voat, but the fat hate people were too toxic even for them!
Yeah, they were awful, awful people.
I too have been struggling with my weight for most of my life (the worst was 135 kilos at 189cm height, usually sitting around 95-100). I have been occasionally made fun of as a kid for it too, so I’m happy treating fat people like shit isn’t that acceptable any more.
However, I actually feel society has gone too far in accepting it, being overweight is very unhealthy and at a certain point even a burden on everyone around you and the healthcare system. It should not be normalized like this.
Fat people don’t deserve to be ostracized, but they sure as shit don’t need to hear that they are healthy and okay to remain as they are, because it’s a blatant and dangerous lie. For the vast majority of overweight people it is a symptom of their poor lifestyle and not an actual medical condition.
I personally don’t struggle with my weight, but whether I do or not is enitrely irrelevant. Body shaming is a big problem, and such conversations need to be kept between a medical provider and the patient. Someone’s weight should not be up for discussion on a public platform.
Also, I do think it is good for people to love and accept themselves, no matter what their weight. In fact, in most cases this is the first step toward resolving health problems and addictions, which is something I am experienced with. When I felt ashamed of my addiction, I was caught in a circle of guilt from which I would never have become sober. It wasn’t until I learned to accept myself where I was at that made it possible for me to heal.
But I’m not applying my experience to everyone else. This may vary by individual, which is why it is paramount that these discussions happen on an individual basis between the patient and provider.
Could you please translate that to freedom units so that people can understand it?
I can’t help with the metric, (2.2 lbs a kg?) But for the 21 stone thing, multiply by 14 to get the US standard way to describe weight.
I was just being silly… 😂
Very good. Please carry on! 🎄🎉🥂🍻🍾

It is? This sounds more like a moral judgment based on nothing but perception and the way fat people os portray in media and exactly wat the fat acceptance movement try to fight against.
I’ve always felt it’s a mental health issue.
It’s really just a health issue.
Mental health issues are health issues.

That (especially including stress) and poor nutrition
Hi, fat guy here. I can’t speak for others and I certainly don’t know statistically whether or not I represent any kind of majority, but I do know that for me my excessive weight is entirely the result of poor lifestyle decisions.
Fuckin shitty people central
To me, I read it as though he decided to lose weight after 6 weeks of his friend texting him. He then decided after 6 weeks, that he will start losing the weight. Yea? Yea I’ll go with that
Did he pay for 1½ month gym membership?
And they say words don’t affect you physically.
So did he lose stones or grow a pair? This is so confusing.
