After having Mono in 1997, I'm lucky to top out at 118.

I've actually lost more weight by catching the flu than by dieting or exercising! :) Lost about 15 pounds once when I had the flu for a couple weeks. Prior to that I had been underweight for most of my life (I have the same family quirk you're describing), so I deliberately tried to gain weight for a while, and gained too well :) I lost most of the weight I had gained while I had the flu; but I kept it off and got back to my original weight mostly through diet and exercise.

Next time you have flu, call me... (sigh)... bad attitude again. Oh well; I'm getting my hair done tomorrow, that should assuage my vanity for a while.

I get up to 118, and then crash the weight for no apparent reason.
It already dropped back to 98 pounds on me the one time.
And when I DID break 125, a cause for celebration for me, I got sicker than a dog and came to weighing 109 again..
*ugh!*
