There's a few things that could be going on, but first, let me state that I'm not a health expert by any means. You are 15, so there is a good chance that part of your weight gain is contributed by the fact that your body is in it's peak growing time. Your bones are growing, your muscles are growing, so naturally your weight will increase.
I am losing large amounts of weight very quickly I cant keep anything including most liquids down for over a month now. I was not big to begin with about 130 and currently almost down to 100.suffered for years with an eating disorder and it resurfaced recently worse than ever. was hospitalized with vomiting blood recently and after released I have no choice but to vomit after every little sip or bite of anything because even if I wamted to keep it down my body forces it out.
Wow your one of the lucky ones I've gained a good bit of weight but now it looks like its all my baby ya know so I guess I'll find out soon enough how much I'll lose after
"yo yo" dieting (losing weight in a rapid manner, then gaining it all back and then some) is a very unhealthy practice as it stresses our bodies.
Have you figured out why you overeat, (which later leads to the compulsion to lose weight)? I find with a lot of people (myself included) it's from some combination of anxiety / boredom. Address those issues in a non-food way, and you may have found your long term solution.
As the first comment correctly stated, losing weight fast doesn't last and leaves you weaker, which you don't want to be if you're getting ready for basic training. Why not wait to join the military until you're ready?
Use these bad times as stepping stones into the next phase of your life . As for you losing weight , I would say its because of the severe amount of stress you're under . Give yourself some time to heal and find yourself again and you'll get your weight back up . You aren't alone and I'll keep you in my thoughts .
Hi i weigh 12 stones I was 12.
Hey yall, I've lost about 10 pounds in 2 days and I'm 5 weeks pregnant. I haven't been eating much because I'm so worried about what's good and bad for the baby. I have awful anxiety and depression so I over think and worry about everything . I haven't been taking my anxiety medicine due to risks of harming the baby and I think that's why I can't eat and am losing weight so fast. Is this dangerous or will it get better with time ?
re already at a normal weight for your height. Losing 10 pounds will put you very near the underweight category.
The only thing you have to do is stop eating junk food and drinking sodas - you'll lose weight and keep it off. A brisk, daily walk is also a good way to lose weight. Aim for, at least, 30 minutes, 3 times/week, but 30-60 minutes daily is best.
Why do you want to be underweight? If you love sports you most likely have a lot of muscle mas making up your current underweight BMI. Get a fat percentage measurement done and you may find that you should actually worry more about properly nourishing and taking care of your body's needs than losing weight. Don't hurt yourself, and your body will continue to play sports. Underweight is not good.

Several important questions need to be answered. First is he losing weight in the face of a normal to increased appetite, or is he not eating well and losing weight? There are many causes of weight loss in older cats.
For example there is Diabetes, Hyperthyroidism, (overactive thyroid), and Kidney Disease, just to name a few. I would first recommend a physical exam from your veterinarian.
