Farenheit works too though.But stone, pounds and ounces aren't as bad as farenheit becaue as it's a measurement of mass it starts at a logical place. 0kg = 0st whereas 0ºC doesn't = 0F
Well you could make the argument that 0°C isn't 0 K, but my problem with miles and stone in particular, which I don't have so much with farenheit is that the fractions are just bothersome to work with in our predominantly decimal societies.
1 stone = 224 ounces
1 stone = 14 pounds
1 mile = 1760 yards
1 yard = 36 inches
Farenheit just has weird cornerstones 0 F doesn't meant anything and neither do 100 F. It's not closely related to human activity.
The metric system is just easier to work with, imo.

Considering your BMI, I'd start with long walks, going up and down some stairs and other fairly low-impact exercises. Don't want to pull something and then have to be out for some time.Most of your early wight lose will be from eating less and eating right. Don't make the error of completely cutting yourself off from foods you love, as you'll likely just splurge later, as old habitss are hard to break. EG, if you love ice-cream like me, still allow yourself to have some, just not often and have only one very small portion at a time.
Yeah, I'll have to start with low impact stuff, since I am not too closely monitored by my physician I think it would be better to start off not ...break a leg or something.
