I want to lose 10 kilograms instead of I want to lose 20 pounds.
On the other hand it sounds like I accomplished more when I say I lost 4 pounds instead of I lost 2 kilograms.

That you lost 10 kilograms! Or maybe say 20 kilos and see if anyone notices ;)

5. Theny try 15? Or just say 10. Or... |
|
just tell the truth. But pulling a Bush is a lot easier. And I don't mean that in a suggestive way either ;)

6. And then I can respond, |
|
"I didn't think you had 10 kilograms to lose," while a nearby unscrupulous street vendor can call out, "I'll gladly take 20 pounds off of you. Take a look at this."
