10.7 Stone in Pounds — Is This a Healthy Weight?
10.7 stone is equivalent to 149.8 pounds. Whether this weight is healthy for you depends entirely on your height, age, and overall health profile. The NHS uses BMI (body mass index) as a screening tool to assess weight ranges, but individual circumstances vary significantly. This guide explains how to understand if 10.7 stone is healthy for your height, and what steps you can take if you're concerned about your weight.

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.
Healthy Weight Ranges by Height
To convert 10.7 stone in pounds (149.8 lbs) to kilograms for NHS reference, that's approximately 68 kg. Whether this weight falls in a healthy range depends on how tall you are. The NHS defines healthy weight as a BMI between 18.5 and 24.9 for most adults.
- At 5ft 4in (163cm): 10.7 stone gives a BMI of 29.2 — this is overweight (BMI 25–29.9)
- At 5ft 8in (173cm): 10.7 stone gives a BMI of 25.1 — this is just above the healthy range (BMI 25–24.9)
- At 5ft 11in (180cm): 10.7 stone gives a BMI of 23.4 — this is within the healthy weight range

NHS Guidance and Next Steps
If your BMI falls outside the healthy range, remember that weight is influenced by many factors including genetics, medical conditions, medications, and lifestyle. The NHS emphasises that even a 5–10% reduction in body weight can bring meaningful health benefits. Waist circumference also matters: the NHS recommends men keep their waist under 94cm (37 inches) and women under 80cm (31.5 inches) to reduce cardiovascular risk.
If you're concerned about your weight, speak to your GP who can assess your individual health and discuss options including lifestyle changes, dietary support, or referral to specialist weight management services. Use our free weight converter to check your weight in different units.

How do I know if I'm overweight according to the NHS?
The NHS uses BMI categories: healthy weight is 18.5–24.9, overweight is 25–29.9, and obese is 30 or above. Your GP can discuss what's healthy for you personally, as BMI doesn't account for muscle mass or where fat is stored.
What should I do if my weight is outside the healthy range?
Start by speaking to your GP, who can assess your health and discuss options. Small lifestyle changes — even clinically studied weight loss — can improve health. Your GP can also refer you to NHS weight management services if appropriate.
Does waist measurement matter as well as weight?
Yes. The NHS recommends men keep waist circumference under 94cm (37 inches) and women under 80cm (31.5 inches). Waist measurement is an important indicator of health risk alongside weight and BMI.
