in Introduce Yourself
Hello everyone!

Seeing how everyone is talking about lbs here I'm wondering if there are any users from countries that use the metric system?
Well, a little more about myself:
I'm the German girl (I didn't come up with that one; I've been called that by different people, in different contexts, in different countries) living and studying in Sweden. I never cared much for exercise before but if you've ever been to Sweden and seen people around the age of your grandparents jogging through the park while you have trouble catching your breath... With eating disorders/unhealthy eating behaviors running in my family like the blond hair I've been struggling with my weight and food in general. I think it's about time to change my diet and life style to a more healthier one and that's why I started running and joined MFP about 2 and 1 months ago, respectively. It's been quite successful for me so far but I feel I could get more out of this experience with some pals to share inspiration and motivate each other. Also, I am a vegetarian.

Happy to meet new people! =o)

    I lived in Germany from 1972 to 1976 (Canadian Air Force child) - I live in Canada now (metric system also) but I do log in pounds even thought the metric system is all I have ever known.

    I'm originally from America so I understand lbs as well, but I currently live in Asia which uses kg so I go by that.

    I am used to the lbs system now and can use it, but still can't help to convert everything to kg in my mind for me to visualise someone's weightloss! :-)
