Question: On my scales it says im 10.9.6 stones how many pounds is that.?
So i'm 10.9.6 atm, i want to get to 120 pounds, how many stones is that.? And how many pounds till i get there.? xHealth Question & Answer


Answers:
you may be able to change the settings of your scales to give you pounds.
basically 1 stone = 14lbs
so 10 stone = 140 lbs
the 9.6 bit means 9 lbs and 6 ounces (oz)
there are 12 oz in 1 lb
so you weigh 149.5 lbs

120lbs = 8stone 8lb which is at the low end of the healthy weight range. according to my calculations you are currently at the high end of the healthy weight range, and not actually overweight.

A healthy rate of weight loss is 2lbs a week. So it will take you about three and a half months to lose that much weight, if you consistently eat 500 calories less than you use, every day. After you have lost the weight you won't be able to go back to your normal eating habits, you will have to eat less than you do now because your body will be smaller. Health Question & Answer

There is 14 pounds [lbs] in a stone; so 120 lbs would be 8.5 stone :]

But I'm sorry I don't understand why you have 3 lots of numbers there.....what is 10.9.6 .?

Do you mean 10st 9lbs.? If you are then you would have to lose 2st 4lbs to become 120lbs [8.5stone]

EDIT: You are NOT really overweight....I have calculated your B.M.I and it is:

25.5 [Your B.M.I]

Here are the categories:

Underweight = <18.5
Normal weight = 18.5-24.9
Overweight = 25-29.9
Obesity = BMI of 30 or greater

So you are just into the overweight section which is not overly overweight.....If you lose a few pounds then you will be into the normal weight section! Just because you are into this section doesn't mean you have to lose weight, as long as you are healthy and happy then that's all that matters! If you wanted to lose a few pounds then it wouldn't hurt but only do it because you want to :]Health Question & Answer

10.9 Stones is 152.6 Pounds, and i don't know why the third number is there.
An in fact Your not overweight.
anything over 25 body mass is over weight.
And you body mass is 25.3
So don't worry to much.

120 Pounds is 8.5 Stones
which then your body mass will be
20
Anything under 18 is underweight.

32.9 Pounds you have to lose to get to 120 Pounds.
and 2.3 stones.

You really have nothing to worry about, but still you are safe to lose some weight.

If you fill in your height and weight it tells you if you are overweight. I don't think you are reallllllly overweight - probably just on the top end of the OK section. But you will look good at 120 lbs too. Don't lose it too fast or your skin might sag, just eat properly and exercise.Health Question & Answer
