This is a weight I hear about in very specific contexts. It is a common starting figure on weight-management programmes, and it is also right where cheap bathroom scales start giving up: plenty of budget digital scales top out at 120 or 150 kg, so people often discover their scales cannot weigh them at all. On the sport side, 120 kg is solid rugby-prop or strongman territory. However you landed here, the combined format (18 stone 13 pounds) is what a dial bathroom scale in stones would show you.

Height makes a big difference to what 120 kg means. At 5ft 6in it gives a BMI of 42.5; at 6ft 2in the same weight gives 34.0. The category stays in the obese band at every height in the table, but the gap of more than eight points shows why I always ask people to read their own row rather than the headline figure. BMI is a screening measure, not a diagnosis.
