Profile stored weight

The profile API call returns (among other fields) the weight as stored in kilograms. My locale is set to en_US, so I enter my weight on the FitBit app in pounds. What is the conversion factor that FitBit uses before it stores the value?

If you set the language header to en_us the weight will be returned in pounds for you.

By the sounds of it you are not passing a language header and its returning METRIC data which has weight stored in kilograms.
