pound,

abbr. lb, unit of either massmass,
in physics, the quantity of matter in a body regardless of its volume or of any forces acting on it. The term should not be confused with weight, which is the measure of the force of gravity (see gravitation) acting on a body.

commonly, a "push" or "pull," more properly defined in physics as a quantity that changes the motion, size, or shape of a body. Force is a vector quantity, having both magnitude and direction.

. Two different pounds of mass are defined, one in the avoirdupois system of units and one in the Troy system. The avoirdupois pound (lb avdp) is now defined in terms of the kilogramkilogram,

, the metric unit of mass; 1 lb avdp is equal to 0.45359237 kg. The Troy pound is used only for the measurement of precious metals and is defined as 5760/7000 of the avoirdupois pound. The apothecaries' pound is identical to the Troy pound. As a unit of force, or weight, the pound is the weight that a mass of 1 lb avdp has when the acceleration of gravity has its standard value (9.80665 meters per second per second). In ordinary usage, the term pound is often used without specifying whether force or mass is meant, but for scientific purposes it is important to make this distinction.

Pound

 

(in Russian, funt). (1) A unit of weight in the Russian system of measures that was abolished in 1918. One Russian avoirdupois pound was equal to 1/40 pood = 32 loty = 96 zolotniky = 9,216 doli = 0.40951241 kg. A prototype kept at the Central Board of Weights and Measures served as the standard Russian pound. In Russia, the apothecaries’ pound (seeAPOTHECARIES’ WEIGHT) was also used; it was equal to 7/8 of an avoirdupois pound, that is, to 0.35832336 kg.

(2) A major unit in the English system of measures; abbreviated lb. One avoirdupois pound equals 0.45359237 kg. The pound is divided into 16 ounces, into 16 × 16 = 256 drams, and into 7,000 grains. In addition to the avoirdupois pound, the apothecaries’ pound and the troy pound are used in the USA, Great Britain, and a number of other countries. Both the apothecaries’ pound and the troy pound are equal to 0.37324177 kg.

Patient discussion about pound

Q. i am all confused !!! there are so many kinds of diets and guides for loosing pounds , what should i choose A. the best but hard one- going to a nutritionist with another friend that want to loose weight, build up a program, start doing physical activity . it will be hard, long, but worth it.
don't forget the friend, it's an important part!

Q. i need an easy way to loss pounds ... any suggestions ? A. there are fasting routines you can do, but they are not worth it especially since they force a lot of water loss and not fat loss.
I would suggest you change up your eating habits and start exercising frequently. Remember to include resistance training 3 times a week minimum. Even going for walks helps.

Q. a good way or a method to shed off some pounds? Hello all, im a college student struggling with 15 to 20 extra pounds, I'm trying to shade it off, any one may say, run exercise, since I'm a soccer player it would only be obvious that i would be fit. My problem is that I hav a fracture knee and a previous dislocated right knee. Due to this i cant really excersice, so im asking for anyone out there,A. I liked Schkinny answer. I find that eating chicken is a filling and a healthy meal. I suggest fresh vegetables instead of frozen. It's more natural and has a much higher nutritious value.
