I lost just over 10 pounds...

In just less than a month.

This really worries me. A few days ago, I was getting changed in the bathroom when mom walked in. She looked at me and says, “How much do you weigh?” confused I answer, “127…”. Then she told me to hop on the scale to weigh myself… and my weight dropped to 115 in less than a month. She asked me if I was bulimic and I answered, “Of course not!” then she told me I need to start eating more.

It’s not the thought of being 115, I don’t mind that at all. It’s the fact that I dropped just over 10 pounds in 3 ½ weeks. I know that I don’t have the best eating habits. I don’t normally eat breakfast or lunch and I eat a pretty good dinner.

I don’t consider myself unhealthy, I am very strong and muscular, and full of energy… I just find it a little bizarre that I lost 12 pounds in the course of 3 weeks when my eating habits haven’t really changed in months.


I know I am going to be criticized about my eating habits on here… but I am just not hungry. I DO NOT make myself sick and I don’t starve myself. I am completely healthy and I am not deathly thin.

Well if your eating and excerising habits havn't changed, it could be the scale is off. Or whatever scale you weighed yourself at 127 is off. In any case, I say healthy is what's important, if that puts you at 80 pounds, 800, or anywhere in between.

The scale could indeed be off...if it isn't....then perhaps the stress of the recent....situations could have had an impact on you, but before leaping to conclusions, see if the scale is balanced. Of course I could always give you lessons in eating more...lol j/k

I believe it is the fact what has happened over the past weeks that has made you lose that weight. I wish I could do that, but you don't need to lose it.

Thank God i am not the only one. I know how it feels to just up and lose weight, I'd have to say it because of stress. I'm losing weight like crazy as well. Sometimes i just cannot bring myself to eat. So i know what you mean when you say your just not hungry. Its not deadly serious but be careful. Ten pounds is a lot to lose in a very short amount of time and your thin as it is. (like i have room to talk)

Oh and please don't say stuf like that stacey, no offense to you but a lot of people say the same to me and it's annoying. I hate when people call me out about being thin, and though i can't speak for her, don't say stuf like that it's just...stupid.

Humm.....seems like some of us all have the same problem. I haven't lost ten pounds in 3wks though. But yeah I have lost some. Like Sarah said, sometimes when things go on, I can't bring myself to eat. I think that it could be stress, but I'm also thinking that for you, since you are active in karate and you only eat dinner that is why you've lost weight. Maybe not. I don't know. But I think we all know you're not bulimic.
