        As advocates of SI, we all know that weight is a force, and the
unit of force is the newton.
        Are you really telling us that you mass is only about 11 kg
(106 N/9.81 (m/s^2) rounded to 11 kg), and that your doctor advises
reducing it to only about 8 kg?
        That is the accurate SI implication of your unitless statement!
