Yes they do, and not just based on size as well.
For example, I have lost 140 lbs and regained 80 all in the last 5 years. That regain was FAST. I'm no scientist but I've read stories that people...

281 to 159

After coming around here for quite some time it never occurred to me to post a goal photo. I always shot for 140, but 159 is close enough from a high of 281. For those size enthusiasts, that's a 24...
