How to gain ten pounds without actually gaining ten pounds

For those of us that are a heavy sweater and large glass of Water away from being the approval BMI for the insurance companies...what are easy ways to gain 10-15 pounds without really gaining the weight?

I found out a gallon of water weighs about 8.5 pounds. (just remember to balance out your electrolytes).

Jeans and a heavy wool sweater is a good way.

A roll of quarters in the pockets.

Anything else?

Ankle weights worn under sweat pants is another good idea. Make sure your shoes are heavy too, that's usually good for a few pounds. Good luck!

Lead fishing weights in pockets, they dont take up much room but pack a punch in lbs.
