Being a resident of an international forum has its challenges occasionally, especially when trying to get my head around pounds as a unit of weight. We got rid of pounds and stones in the 1970s and now I'm fully conversant with kilograms.
For what it's worth, I weight a hefty 116 kilograms which is a little over 18 stone or 252 pounds.
This website is extremeley handy for those of you needing to know such nonsense:

I'm not an atheist and I don't think I can call myself a pantheist. We are in the position of a little child entering a huge library filled with books in many different languages. The child knows someone must have written those books. It does not know how. The child dimly suspects a mysterious order in the arrangement of the books but doesn't know what it is. That, it seems to me, is the attitude of even the most intelligent human being toward God.

Hi David, you may find this one more comprehensive, it covers just about every conversion possible, weight, mass, area, liquid measures, currency conversions, pressure, volume, velocity, time, and also includes loan/mortgage calculations, compound interest, Body mass index and roman numerals.

Even copes with English and US gallons.

I still think in feet and inches. It makes more sense to me. Mind you I may start thinking of my weight in kilos. It is a smaller number.

You can also simply type in the units you want to convert in google.
For example: type in 2 metres in inches, then press search and you get 2 metres=78.74 inches. Or knots in yards, Celcius in Fahrenheit and so on.
I have no idea how tall I am in metres, still refer to myself as six foot one.
