>> You would weigh about 6 foot 9 inches. (That's 173 cm for the >> units-challenged out there....) Actually, when you get to futzing with relativity, everything is measured in terms of meters...so a standard white dwarf weighs in at XXX m, one earth mass is YYY m, and so on...so when you get an answer, about 1/2 of the total work goes into melding back in appropriate c's and h-bars until you get an answer with the right units!
