Kilograms, pounds and stone
One kilogram is 2.2046 pounds, and one pound is 0.4536 kg, so 70 kg is about 154 lbs. The UK adds stone, where one stone is 14 pounds: the same 70 kg reads as 11 stone 0.4 pounds. The converter moves between all three, including the mixed stone-and-pounds format British scales display.
Quick sense of scale
Useful anchors: 1 kg is roughly a litre bottle of water, 5 kg is 11 lbs, 100 kg is 220 lbs, and 50 kg is 7 stone 12. For cooking, 1 ounce is 28.35 grams and 1 pound is 454 grams, which is why a pound of flour is not half a kilogram, a rounding that quietly ruins recipes.
