What the hell. I am down to 98 pounds (I am 5’2.5) frm a very healthy weight of I-don’t-remember last year. I have not dieted, nor engaged in much physical activity. I eat relatively normally. My eyesight has also gotten weaker, my joints ache etc. What is going on?
Edit: I meant rapid weight loss in the title.
Re: Too rapid loss
it could be stress but its a perfectly normal weight for that height
Re: Too rapid loss
The weight might be normal, the rapid weight loss and dropping 7 dress sizes in a few months is NOT.
Re: Too rapid loss
Any drastic change is an alarming sign. Have you had your annual physical this year? get it done.
Re: Too rapid loss
98 pounds for a 5'2' is not good..i think that's underweight..
like mm said, are you stressed? that could be one factor...
maybe not stress, but you've got a lot of things on your plate? i dunno...
Re: Too rapid loss
any rapid unexplained weight loss must bring you asap to the doctor
Re: Too rapid loss
Sarah,
GO to the docotor NOW.
Symptoms could be anything from stress (not so bad), to even diabetes (very dangerous if you're seeing rapid weight loss - could lead to a coma)....or something worse...who knows.
Re: Rapid Weight Loss
Also have your thyroid levels checked - you could be hyperthyroid - do you feel rushed a lot, and do your eyes ever bulge? Go to the doctor and have him/her draw blood to check ALL your hormone levels.
Re: Rapid Weight Loss
I agree with the above, you should see your local GP.... as for the syptoms you mentioned about your eye sight being weaker and bones aching... i assume this is due to a lack of iron and zinc, to remedy the problem take a multivitamin tablet, theyre available from all good drugstores and dont forget Omega3 and vitamin C.
Re: Rapid Weight Loss
girl...you are seriously underweight.
Re: Rapid Weight Loss
As a doctor I'd recommend you to do contact your physician and get urself examined.
Re: Rapid Weight Loss
I would love to have that problem but take care of urself and see a doc asap
Re: Rapid Weight Loss
Ok, so how much weight can one lose per week in a healthy way?
Re: Rapid Weight Loss
my doc said one pound...no more, but her problem is that she lost it without doing it on purpose, hence it is fishy...
Re: Rapid Weight Loss
thyroids...
Re: Rapid Weight Loss
I lost 2 kgs in less than 2 weeks, dint go to the gym , kept up wiht what i ate (xcept for two days when I had a fever).. its konfuzzling :(
Re: Rapid Weight Loss
Does rate weight loss / week depend on how much you have to lose? For example, a 300 pounder can lose probably 4-5 pounds a week but a 150 pounder shouldn't be losing more than half a lb?
Re: Rapid Weight Loss
We have no romantics here huh? How come no one said love was a reason?
Re: Rapid Weight Loss
^ ..i think a couple of people said stress..and as we all know
love=stress
so there ya go...! :D
Re: Rapid Weight Loss
^^:rotfl: chanda.. “cant eat cant sleep” ki waja say hota hay ye ‘love stress’ but alhamdullilah she’s married..
only thing that can (sycological) affect weight loss would be ..‘damn, kiya darwaaza band kiya tha?’ or like ‘oh no, khirki khuli to nahi rah gayi cooking ke baad, ghar thanda ho jayega’
