What's Your BMI at 10.5 Stone? Height Matters
10.5 stone is equivalent to 147 pounds (lbs). However, your BMI at this weight depends entirely on your height — the same weight can be a healthy BMI for a taller person but overweight for someone shorter. This guide shows you exactly what BMI you fall into at 10.5 stone across common UK heights, using NHS categories. Use our free BMI calculator above to find your exact BMI instantly if you know your height.

What Is BMI and Why Does It Matter?
Body Mass Index (BMI) is the most widely used screening tool for assessing whether your weight falls within a healthy range. Used by the NHS, GPs, and weight management services across the UK, BMI provides a quick snapshot of your weight relative to your height. The formula is simple: your weight in kilograms divided by your height in metres squared (kg/m²).
While BMI isn't a perfect measure — it doesn't account for muscle mass, bone density, or fat distribution — it remains the standard first step in identifying potential weight-related health risks including type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure, and certain cancers.
The NHS also recommends adjusted thresholds for people of South Asian, Chinese, or Black African heritage — a BMI of 23 or above is classified as overweight, and 27.5 as obese. Our calculator includes this adjustment as a one-click toggle.
10.5 Stone to Lbs and Your BMI at Different Heights
10.5 stone = 147 lbs or 67.1 kg. To convert stone to kilogram or pounds, the standard kg to stone conversion uses these formulas: 1 stone = 6.35 kg, and 1 stone = 14 pounds exactly.
Your BMI at 10.5 stone varies significantly by height:
- 5ft 2in (157cm): BMI 26.9 — Overweight (NHS)
- 5ft 4in (163cm): BMI 25.2 — Overweight (NHS)
- 5ft 6in (168cm): BMI 23.6 — Healthy weight (NHS)
- 5ft 8in (173cm): BMI 22.2 — Healthy weight (NHS)
- 5ft 10in (178cm): BMI 21.1 — Healthy weight (NHS)
- 6ft 0in (183cm): BMI 20.1 — Healthy weight (NHS)
For adults of South Asian, Chinese, Black African, or Black Caribbean heritage, the NHS recommends lower stone and pounds thresholds — a BMI above 22.9 is considered overweight in these groups.

Understanding BMI Categories and Limitations
The NHS uses these metric to imperial weight categories for adults: Healthy weight is BMI 18.5–24.9, Overweight is 25.0–29.9, and Obese is 30.0 and above. However, BMI has important limitations. It doesn't distinguish between muscle and fat — athletes may have a high BMI but low body fat. BMI also doesn't account for where fat is stored; waist circumference matters too. At 10.5 stone (67.1 kilogram), your GP can help you understand what this means for your individual health, especially if you have weight-related conditions like high blood pressure or type 2 diabetes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about BMI, weight loss medications, and our free UK tools.
What is 10.5 stone in kilograms?
10.5 stone equals 67.1 kg. To convert stone to kilogram, multiply by 6.35029. So 10.5 × 6.35 = 66.7 kg (rounded to 67.1 kg). This conversion is useful when reading NHS health guidelines, which typically use metric measurements.
Is 10.5 stone overweight according to NHS guidelines?
It depends on your height. At 10.5 stone, you could be in the healthy weight range (for taller adults around 5ft 8in and above) or overweight (for shorter adults around 5ft 2in to 5ft 4in). Use our BMI calculator on this page to check your exact category.
What's the difference between stone, pounds, and kilograms?
Stone and pounds are imperial measurements used in the UK; 1 stone = 14 pounds. Kilograms are metric. 10.5 stone = 147 lbs = 67.1 kg. The NHS uses kilograms clinically, but many UK adults prefer to think in stone and pounds for body weight.
If I'm 10.5 stone and overweight, what should I do?
Start with your GP for personalised advice. They can assess your overall health, discuss lifestyle changes like diet and exercise, and if appropriate, refer you to NHS weight management services. Even a clinically studied weight loss can improve blood pressure and blood sugar control.
How do I use the weight converter if my height is unusual?
Our free weight converter on this page lets you enter any combination of stone, pounds, and kilograms. For BMI, our free BMI calculator accepts both metric (cm and kg) and imperial (feet/inches and lbs) — enter your exact height to see your personal BMI at 10.5 stone.
