Okay, I've gained 5 lbs since July, but my measurements are all exactly the same (in fact, some have gone down a teeny bit). Why?

Oh, my bad. My brain is still in muzzyfuzzy and I thought Pinky said maybe your brains got denser. Good golly, it must have been the spelling of edumacated that made me goof!:7
Don't have an answer except to second the muscle weight commment.

Not pregnant. Denser bones? No clothes. Weighing at the same time. Not that time of the month. Just woke up, no meal
Have you recalibrated your scale recently? Drop a 15lb. dumbbell on each side (like "feet") and see if it reads 30lbs. The heavier weights the better b/c sometimes scales are only off a pound for every 5 pounds and so if you only plop on a 5lb. bag of flour you might not know how off your scale is. Of course there's always the chance that your weights aren't actually the correct poundage, in which case you've been cheating every workout...}(
That and maybe you gained the weight somewhere where you don't measure...:*

Gee thanks, Mattea, that's awesome. Maybe I gained the weight in my neck
Look on the bright side Shelley, maybe you gained weight in your feet, or ankles, wrists, hands, face, upper back, elbows, pancreas...Hey, were you holding your breath? Or maybe you picked up a face-hugger, chest bursting alien somewhere? Seriously, though did you eat a meal larger or perhaps slower digesting before you weighed yourself? It could be a change in your digestive times or some extra layers of fat on the back of your head!

Is this a consistent weight gain over several wiegh-ins or a single weigh-in? If a single weigh-in, it could be that you retained water for any number of reasons (salty meal the previous day, lifting heavier causing muscle swell, etc.)
Or it could be an alien, like Mattea said.

I'm pretty sure it's a tumour.
Yes, but that's not nearly as exciting as face-hugging, chest-bursting alien baby. Jeez, Shelley get with the high drama will you? How else are we going to rake in the bucks? Tumor, holy crap, before you know it this whole story will be labeled a chick-flick and no one but Kleenex stock-holders will come see it!:-(

I figured we'd drag Arnold Schwarzenegger away from his political career to play me in the film version. Then we could have lots of explosions and car chases and people getting their heads blown off
