Which weight unit is expected in CSV #6

I want to import the past 4 years from Libra to Google Fit. I've checked the example csv file, and because the values are about "180" I'm not sure if this is kilograms or pounds.

Before I'll import wrong data I wanted to ask :) Thanks!

If it is height, should cm. If it is weight, it is pounds.

Hm. I tried to access the Google Fit API manually. And I was able to fetch some existing weight entries. It seems that Google uses kilograms. But they also did not provide a unit name. Only the plain number, which was Kilogram in my case.

But maybe I did not use the API correctly.

@a-r-m-i-n the data in source CSV file might depend. This repo used pounds by default. The data in Google is in kilograms, that's why there was some conversion done.

I've updated in in my fork, hopefully would be easier to understand.
