This is a real problem at Stansted. You queue for 30 minutes to check in then, once your bags are weighed, you are sent to another desk - with another queue - to pay, then you need to rejoin the check-in queue (unless the agent lets you push in at the front).
Be clear - they will NOT let you off. There is zero leeway on baggage weight, at least at airports where the staff are direct Ryanair employees.
