How to Find Out Your Weight in Kilograms

Measurements are assessed in different units all around the word. Some countries use kilograms and stones to measure body weight, while the United States uses pounds (lbs.). Adopted by the French revolutionary assembly in the 1790's, the metric system was developed to avoid confusion and conflict between countries. Even though different units are used by different countries, with a simple calculation, you can still figure out how much the measurement is in your desired unit.
