Hi Sam,
This is actually something that I don't understand either (sorry, I am awful with math). However, there are some good online conversion calculators that I've used and here is a link to one:

According to it, 49 kilogram = 7.716 179 176 stone
Hope this helps and good luck to you!
Take care,
Meg

I am recovering from about nine years with my eating disorder and while I am not a psychologist, I`ve accumulated a good deal of knowledge about eating disorders as well as my own experience over this time. I`ve mainly struggled with anorexia, but have definitely had times where I have engaged in bulimic behaviors as well. I also struggle with over exercising, but am about to be certified as a personal trainer and have learned moderation as well as how to treat my body well so it can perform at it`s best. I promise to give an honest answer to anything asked, and I want to say that while it is a long, scary road---it is possible to get free of this and it is so important to keep on taking little steps and knowing that you are not alone.
Experience
Sufferer for nine plus years. Also, my Mom has struggled with this issue- as have others in her side of the family.
Education/Credentials
My degree is not in psychology, I have simply lived with and overcome an eating disorder.
