Why do I keep losing weight?!


Question: Why do I keep losing weight?
I'm 14 and 5'1''. Two weeks ago i weighed 110 pounds, last week I weighed 98 pounds and when I weighed myself today I was at 85 pounds. I haven't changed my diet or anything, I eat around 2,200 calories a day! Shouldn't I be gaining weight, not loosing it? I mean, I'm not an exercise fanatic. I do yoga and sprints and pilates and stuff but not everyday and not so much that I'd lose alot of weight. Now my mom is threatening to take me to the hospital to put me on an IVcause im getting skinnier!

Have you considered the fact you have a VERY fast metabolism? Im 13, 5"1' and I weigh 97.5 Pounds. Its nothing to be that worried about. I got to 102 once then the next day BAM I was 92 pounds.

If you're being completely honest in your post and are eating that much (and keeping it down, no bulimia) and not over exercising, and you're still losing an excessive amount of weight, you probably should go see a doctor. It may be a hormonal imbalance, something could be wrong with your thyroid, or you could be really sick. Time to get it checked out before it becomes life-threatening, because at 5'1", 85lbs is already serious.

wow that is weird! are you sure you haven't changed your diet because you lost a lot of weight! 110 ot 85?! wow. i am 13 and 5ft and like 90 or something. are you positive you are eating the same? i cannot think of anything else?
