Why people use different units
Kilograms (kg)
Kilograms are standard in most countries and in scientific contexts. Hospitals, labs, and sports performance programs often prefer kg for precision and consistency.
Pounds (lb)
Pounds are common in the United States and are widely used in everyday contexts like personal scales, fitness forums, and bodyweight training programs.
Stones (st)
Stones are still commonly used in the UK and Ireland, especially in casual conversation about body weight. Many people find stones + pounds easier to visualize than total pounds.
Tips for accurate body weight tracking

- Use the same scale and place it on a hard, flat surface.
- Track trends over weeks, not day-to-day fluctuations.
- Record units clearly (kg, lb, or st/lb) to avoid confusion.
