Many people have, and most people would if they suddenly went from not working out to punching it as hard as you're listing here. The body will hold onto water in the cells to assist with post-exercise recovery, which appears on the scale as bodyweight. The scale has zero way to tell how much of you is muscle, or bone, or…
