I hear what you're saying, but personally when I'm actually trying to lose weight "that subborn stone" is the first one, not the last one i.e. if I'm trying to get from 12 stone to 10 stone, the stubborn bit is getting from 12 stone to 11 stone rather than 11 stone to 10 stone.

As you know, I appreciate the voluptuous female and broader male, but quite frankly there are a LOT of people around who could do with losing quite a bit of weight (and should add that I include myself in that, just so I don't sound too hypocritical).
