> I looked at the page you noted; the stat there isn't that people gain 1-40% of their body weight, but that anywhere between 1-40% of people gain 7% or more of their body weight. (This wouldn't make 25 pounds of weight gain for a woman "not uncommon.")

> MattMatt--
The stat said 7% or MORE? My guess is that Harry,myself and the rest mentioned in Harry's response would be the ,unfortunate, MORE in that statement. I was 145 pounds, which is reasonable, since I'm 5'10". 25 pounds (171 lbs--completely unreasonable for me--even at 6'10") represents a 17% of my bodyweight--yes, I definetly fall in to the MORE..and even more catogory!! I CAN'T TAKE ANY MORE!!
