Newbie with a question

Hi guys



I've always been on the chubby side but I nearly choked today when the scale told me that I was 220lbs!!! That means I've packed on roughly 35lbs in just under 5 months. Does that kind of gain in that space of time warrant a trip to the doctor to see if there is an underlying problem? Perhaps I should visit him anyway for a more accurate weigh-in and waist circumference measurement?



Thanks for any advice.
