hi live2canoe thanks for welcome, i can think in pounds as i was born in england but lived here for many years and as we have been metric for a long time l'm confused now my kids laugh at me my height is imperial and any weighing i do is metric when i say how heavy i am it sounds better in kilos, wnen i say how much i have lost it sounds more pounds, does anyone know if you start losing slow does that mean that is how it is likely to carry on
