Gross or not

I've suffered from a weight problem all my life.

Many times I've dieted, lost some weight (even a lot at times!) then relaxed and put it all back on. By exercising a certain amount of restraint I've managed to keep my weight mostly around 14 stone, which is 3.5 stone overweight.

In March of last year I joined an on-line weight-loss group, and last Sunday I weighed 10 st 4 lb.

I like the sound of that weight - 10-4, OK. Also, in the pre-metric days, 144 was 12 dozen, or a gross. Nice. Very nice not to be gross any more!
