I was expecting some gain/stall at the outset of going back to the gym, but having been back for two months, I guess I figured that phase would be behind me...

Rapid muscle gain for newbies can last for several months especially over weight newbies. In the case of a female though - rapid muscle gain is maybe 1 lb a month - depending on genetics. So ... who knows.
As for the 7x weight - never heard it either but I have heard 9x weight. So again ... who knows.
