To find out how much Jack weighed in pounds, we need to multiply 11 1/2 stones by 14 pounds/stones.
To multiply a mixed number like 11 1/2, we multiply the whole number part and the fractional part, separately.
11 * 14 = <<11*14=154>>154
1/2 * 14 = 7
Adding the two results together: 154 + 7 = <<154+7=161>>161
So, Jack weighed 161 pounds. Answer: \boxed{161}.
