I am having a brain fart.....if say you have 162kg....you would divide that by 2.2 correct? to find out the Lbs?

I think you would multiply it by 2.2 to get the number of pounds.

makes sense....at first i was getting my conversion factors all messed up....35.2 lbs sounds a lot better than 7!!

1kg = 2.2lbs

If you had 162kg, then that means you have 356.4lbs. Remember, you always weight less in kilograms!

So Twarlik,

Are you a big Parker Posey fan or do you just like that movie? She is such a good actress!

:rotfl:

I love Parker and I love that movie! No one has ever commented on it before. I was beginning to wonder if it was offending people or if no one else ever saw "Party Girl"!

... if say you have 162kg...

As stated, you multiply.

Remember, your weight will always be a lesser number in metric.

So, if you're caring for a 162 kg woman, you better get some help in turning her. She's a big gal!
