This is very interesting. The same thing happened to me when I was 17. I averaged around 135-145lbs and looked quite fit and desirable. Suddenly, I moved in with a man (did not change my diet and eat more) at age 17. I suddenly experienced illness and fatigue. I also experienced rapid weight gain. Between August and December of the same year I went from 145lbs to 220lbs. I was NOT overeating. My diet had NOT changed significantly. I went to the doctor and numerous blood tests were done and everything came out normal, thyroid and all. This was in 1999. Since then I have remained mostly steady around 220lbs, sometimes getting up to 240lbs and with dieting being able to get down to 205. My symptoms were mostly nausea and fatigue, (that was noticeable), however none of this testing was done until after the weight increase was complete.
