A member asked:
Is it possible to get slightly shorter when gaining weight i decreased 2cm after gaining 7kg?

Very unlikely: The loss of height is probably a mistake in one of the measurements. It is very unlikely that a 23 year old would lose 2 cm in height due to gaining weight.

Unusual: I agree it would be unusual at your age to lose this much height.
