Stone is a British imperial measure equivalent to 14 pounds (so 2 stone is 28 pounds). Stone is like sheep, i.e. 1 stone, 10 stone, as opposed to pounds (1 pound, 10 pounds).

A stone is 14 pounds, so if they lost or gained 2 stone that would be 28 pounds.

Its an old way of measuring weight. I believe 1 stone is roughly 10 lbs. So 2 stone would be 20 lbs...if I'm remembering that correctly lol.
