It looks like others have already answered this question – this subject can be difficult to understand at first for the 95% of the world that uses the metric system due to the measurement of one’s mass by using weight instead of displaying the weight itself.

For example: I weigh 145 lbs. I *am* 65 kg. On the moon, i only weigh 24 pounds, but i am still 65 kg. I have 65 kg worth of “stuff” that makes up my body.
