Changes to Blog
Hi all, Phatfighter is back again for another post today!
I have had a few enquiries from people relating to my use of the metric system on this site, and recording all of my figures in kilograms exclusively. There have been several requests that I also post my weight and measurements in pounds for those people that are used to those measurements.
I thought that this was a great idea, and I have now incorporated in the sidebar of this blog my key measurements in pounds. These appear in separate tables from the metric measurements for easy reference. I hope that those of you that prefer measurements in pounds find this helpful.
Thanks also to those of you that have been posting comments. They really help keep me on track and in the right frame of mind to keep on plugging to get to that long term goal of mine.
Keep checking back for more changes to this blog. Until then, keep fighting the good fight.

Good luck with your chart
Cheers, I think it might be a while before I update the spreadsheets to inclue pounds as well! I will try, but it may take a couple more days yet.
That' a great idea Phat Fighter. Actually it's interesting because I grew up in school measuring by grams and kg but yet when it comes to body measurements, my parents always measured in inches, feet and lbs. So that's how I do it too. kilograms have no meaning nor do centimetres. Ironic.
But I suppose if I really really had to know the conversions, I'd just go to an online conversion site. I do that for the weather. My father says something in farenheit and I only understand Celsius. LOL
It is kinda funny what type of measurements mean more to you than others. Despite using the metric system for almost everything, I am still struggling to get used to hearing the height of people in cms. Feet and inches still mean more to me there, but for everything else I use metric measurements. I still have to look at my drivers licence to get my height in centimeters!
