In actual verbal usage Brits are more likely to say "I'm 10 stone and
a-half" or "I'm 10 stone and a-quarter"" than "I'm 10 stone and 7 pounds"
or "I'm 10 stone and 3 and a-half pounds". Either with pounds, or without,
would work. The user could figure it out.
The decimal places for weight, both straight pounds & stones practically
would be better rounded to one place on this. Verbal expression of weight
wouldn't bother with fractional values beyond that.
For North Americans having weight, as you do, in pounds is spot-on. They
don't use stones at all.
