New Unexpected weight gain
Indeed, if it is as said, you really do need to see a doctor as soon as possible. I experienced an inordinate weight gain (I'm not sure if it took a month or how long it was - I don't weigh myself that regularly), but it was on the order of 20 pounds and was the result of a pretty serious problem.

[edit - naturally "you" isn't you, Ben.]

[edit - it did put me into the hospital for about ten days.]

New Unexpected weight changes are usually bad
I don't know what conditions are associated with weight gain, but my wife has mentioned repeatedly that unexplained weight loss is a red flag for cancer. (Cancer cells have, of course, a very high metabolism.)

Cheers,
Ben
