Question:How many inches are in 208 feet?

Is 208 pounds heavy for a 49 year old male that is 6 foot 2 inche...?

A large frame man standing at 6'2" tall should weigh between 172 and 197. 208 is heavy no matter if you are a small, medium or large size. ChaCha!

After losing 57 pounds, I gained 9 pounds over three days. How?!?

Q: Three months ago, I weighed in at my highest weight ever -- 265 pounds. At 5 feet, 11 inches and 24 years old, I realized that this was not at all healthy.So, I put myself on a weight-loss program. This is not your typical diet and most people frown upon this, but I basically cut my intake my around 75% and drastically increased my workout regime. On average, I eat soup and fruits (apples, melon) every day drinking only water and diet pop. After approximately three months, I am now down to 208 pounds -- that's a loss of 57 pounds!!! Needless to say, I am very happy with myself. After weighing in this last Friday (Aug. 7) at 208 pounds, I thought that I would binge a little over the weekend. I'm not sure exactly how many calories I ate in total, but over three days (Fri., Sat., Sun.) I had some chicken wings, a steak, some chicken, bacon, shrimp, and some peanuts. Not all of that is necessarily "bad" food. When I weighed myself in this morning (Mon.) I weighed 217 pounds! As you can imagine, I was extremely upset.What could be the problem? I realize that my metabolism may be much slower since I don't eat nearly as much as I used to and the food that I eat now has MUCH less calories, but how can I gain 9 pounds in three days?I have heard about the metabolism thing, but is there anything I can take to speed up my metabolism that is proven to be safe?Also, I know about the measurement thing, and I don't really care what the scale says I just try to base it on how I look. For instance, in 2004 I weighed 189 lbs. Then, in 2005 I was at 201. In 2007 it was 221, and earlier this year I was at 265. Now, I am at 208 (217 this morning).

A: It really isn't possible. The only possibility is that you're carrying around a lot of water or undigested food when you weighed yourself this morning. You really need to worry less about the number on the scale - this is a common problem for people. Instead, take measurements of you hips, waist and chest and see how much you have lost in inches. That should matter more than the numbers on the scale.
