Uh huh. People consistanly misunderestimate my weight by 75 to 100 lbs.

Big bones and weight lifting in HS and college, that's my story and I'm sticking to it...

Very clever... However, even though my scale hasn't budged in like a month, just the other day 2 people insisted that I must have lost 5-10 pounds recently. I suppose it's a matter of burning fat and increasing muscle mass. However, may I suggest that you resume the weightlifting? ;)

You must not have been retaining water at the time. I haven't weighed myself in a long time (I'm too scared to look at the scale these days), but when I used to weigh myself regularly, my weight would fluctuate the same 5-7 pounds over the course of the month. It was all water retention.
