What units do you prefer to use when measuring weight (more specifically, body weight)?

Pie is good - if I eat pie, I should be weighed by it.  I never understood weight in stones, my friend in the UK and I were both trying to lose weight and we would email each other with our weekly weight but I never understood her weight loss, because she sent it in stones.  All I knew is that it was a lower number.  .

While I prefer grams and centimeters to ounces and inches, when it comes to the bigger units I stick with the old pounds and miles. I really have no idea why though, as I can convert between miles/kilometers, and pounds/kilograms readily.
