Sorry I thought you were inserting data manually. How about trying a
formula
like:

=ROUNDDOWN(A1/16,0)&" lbs. & "&((A1/16)-ROUNDDOWN(A1/16,0))*16&" oz."

So as to convert 172 (oz) in cell A1, to "10 lbs. & 12 oz."?

Do check "Yes" if this post is helpful,

14.11 ozs. ( the correct conversion ). help and thanks

How about trying, the format:
0 "lbs". 0 "ozs"
