Subject: How can I track my weight in Kg?
I changed the units in my profile to kg, but the chart is still
using lbs. How can I change this?
Thanks.

This looks like a bug. I'll look into this and get it fixed for you.

Great, thanks.

Any progress?
I've been asking for months. lb means nothing to me, you alienate nearly all of Europe, Australia, Asia.
The first thing you see when you log in is your locker room telling you how much you way in lb.

Yes I would also find this useful as we do not use pounds

I found a few issues while I was playing around with a test account switching between lb and kg in the profile. We definitely have a caching issue such that after I switched the chart still displayed the same until I entered my next body weight entry, but then it switched to the requested unit of measurement.
The next issue I see is that the entry box always defaults to lbs which makes it a pain if you enter anything else. Since we have it in your profile, it should default to what you requested every time.
I also saw another issue if you switch back and forth and enter some weights in lb, and others in kg. The code that tries to detect massive changes and warn you of your potential error is not taking the unit of weight into account so it was flagging it unnecessarily.
All three of these things have been filed as bugs and I'll start working on them immediately. I'm sorry it's taken a bit to get back to this issue, we are a fairly small team and do our best to stay on top of issues. However, prioritization often requires us to choose between competing issues for what gets addressed first. Thanks for pinging this again, that helps get it back onto our radar.

Thanks very much Jeff, do realise you are busy, I know what it's like to have more requirements than development resources, and see all the iphone work you are doing so hope that works out well for you.
Best wishes for the company and thanks for looking into this issue - I realise regional/cultural issues like this aren't always apparent, but they can make the difference for take up - not meaning to be rude however.
kind regards

@argon, it is easy to miss regional/cultural issues like this which is why we are so grateful for an engaged community of users who are willing to point them out to us. In spite of the best intentions it can easily happen, so thanks for the feedback and keep it coming.

I have submitted fixes for most of these issues. They are not yet pushed to the site, and it may take a day or two since most of our team is traveling this week and I'd like some other people to look at it to verify the fixes before we deploy them. It now reliably handles entering updates in lb and kg, and doesn't inappropriately flag them as large changes just because you change units. The one I haven't yet had time to fix is defaulting the units to the right value based on your profile but I'll get that wrapped up as soon as I can. With most of the team on the road, handling support is taking priority over most actual work.

Many thanks mate, sounds like you are busy!
Just to note, the main thing I notice (or anyone else would) is the graph on the front page which still says lb. It says xx kg lost, but draws a graph in lb.

Hmmm, I was playing with that the other day and it was displaying the right values for me. Maybe I was looking in the wrong place. Are you seeing it in the legend on the left or the labels on the top (or both)? I'll take another look at it as soon as I get a chance. Thanks for letting me know.

Brilliant Jeff, the biggest win is the intro screen with the weight in right measurements.
Great to see distance covered looking good also.
A bit more feedback here, here's the screen grab for pace, the units and graph is all good, but the mouse over units show up wrong.
cheers mate

@argon, thanks for the pic. That's one of the chart bugs I haven't had time to work on yet. I hope to knock it out soon.
