Hi There!
 
Hi! :carrot:

So I'm trying to lose weight. Again. I've been overweight since I was 8, suffered from anorexia nervosa when I was 16, and now I'm back to overweight again for years.
I'm making another effort to lose some weight for the summer, so I'm praying that it'll work out fine this time! :snail:


PS: The "S/C/G" section goes in pounds, right? I did use pounds, although I'm used to kilos.

:welcome: Glad you found us! I hope you will post often so we get to know you.

You can use either lbs. or kg, whichever works for you. It does confuse some folk, since many in the US forget that there is any other measurement than lb. Our UK chickies measure in stone.

So - if you do decide to use kg, it wouldn't hurt to put your location in your profile (even if it is country only) so people know when they see your stats that it is kg.

Thanks! I think I'll stick to pounds in that case, I think most people are used to that. It's quite easy for me to convert as it's just the double of kilos anyway, so that's no problem! :df:

Thanks, I didn't know that! I always thought a kilo was two pounds. *Smacks forehead*
(I adjusted the weight in my profile, now it should be correct!)
