100 pounds is a little over 7 stone... about 45 kilograms.

Sorry but thanks for playing. The measure of force is called the "pound force" or "poundals" and is abbreviated lbf. The standard pound that we use to measure mass is more formally called the "pounds avoirdupois" and is usually abreviated as lb. One kilogram is equal to 2.2046 pounds avoirdupois. It is confusing to have two different types of pounds, one for force and one for mass, but since they are equal on Earth, most people don't care. That is why the bathroom scale is fairly reliable for most humans as a measure of their mass. So pounds measure mass just like kilograms do.Originally posted by fred rosenberger:
