16 stone is what I call a “clinical milestone” weight. It’s often the point where patients feel the physical toll of their weight on their joints and their day-to-day mobility most acutely. When I sit with a patient at 16 stone, I’m not just looking at a number; I’m looking at their cardiovascular future. Even a 5-10% weight loss from this starting point can significantly lower your risk of developing chronic conditions. The goal isn’t necessarily to become ‘thin’ overnight, but to take manageable steps toward better health.
