what could cause a steady weight loss?

over the past two weeks, I noticed I’ve been losing weight. though I’d rather not say my weight. . . I’m 5’5” usually around 114 lbs. I’ve been weighing myself everyday, and I’m down seven pounds now. I thought my scale was just playing tricks, but I look different too.

I haven’t been stressed, trying to diet, or excersizing more than usual. so what’s up with the weight loss?

Answer #1

Are you taking any medications? Are you at an age where things are still developing? You could be just “blooming” and it is just part of it. I have seen that happen where a chubby kid (although I know you werent) came back from summer break at school much thinner just b/c of puberty. I don’t know what else it could be but like a previous poster said, you are underweight. If you have a medium frame where your finger tips touch or barely when you circle them around your wrist you are not supposed to be under 136ish. Even if you have a small frame where fingers overlap a bit your low weight is 126. You should go see a Dr, have a physical done and go from there. If you truly care, that is…I assume since you took the time to post you do care about yourself enough to do so. Good luck. Also, if you want to check for yourself on what your weight range should be the site I used was… http://www.healthcentral.com/diet-exercise/ideal-body-weight-3146-143.html

I hate to say this but, you might have worms and you might wanna get yourself checked out, and I really hope you don’t have worms which you probably don’t but I would still get myself checked out if I were you.

Answer #3

I wish I was low in weight. I am 5’6 or 5’7 and I am 15 and weight 188 pounds because im on the depo shot. I wanna lose weight. every1 says that im really skinny. I mean I am skinny but I dont no what its from lol.

Answer #4

hmm…are you sure you’re not exercising more than usual? are you eating less junk food or more health food? you might just be unintentionally or absentmindedly eating healthier, but you should probably ask a doctor or something, because you’re underweight. I’m 5’4’’ and I’m 130 pounds, and I’m in good shape, so you must be pretty skinny. I say you should talk to a parent or a doctor..

Answer #5

Check you thyroid (sp?)
