  • My weight ticker is showing the wrong type of measurement (kilograms vs. pounds). How can I change it?
Members are able to track their weight in kilograms or pounds and your account will default to one of these options based on the postal code that you entered at the time your account was created. The weight loss ticker will use that default measurement type, but members can change this at any time.

To have your weight loss ticker show in pounds:
  1. Roll your mouse over “My Trackers” in the top left corner of the screen.
  2. Click on “Start,” which is the first link down.
  3. You’ll now see your Start page.
  4. Click on the “Account/E-Mail Preferences” link in the upper left corner of the page.
  5. Scroll down the page to the section for “My Information.”
  6. Uncheck the box for “Use Metric System.”
  7. Click on “Save My Information.”
