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.
m not sure what the issue is with losing facial weight; it was a good thing when I lost facial weight because it meant that my thyroid med was working and took away the puffiness, so I was thrilled; however, if you don't like the way your face looks, there are exercises you can do to tone the muscles in your face.......
You might consider doing a "google" search for facial exercises and see what you come up with.......
So I had an ultrasound today again, I'm about 11 weeks. In the last month I've lost
about 8 lbs. I was a little bigger before my pregnancy. I haven't been vomiting or anything but I've been losing weight. The baby's heart beat and everything was normal. Have any of you other ladies lost weight during pregnancy without throwing up? I'm kind of worried.
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
Where thers the food and exercise button next to it its the weight. Did you tried to change it there ?
"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.
If your A1C is high you are likely pre-diabetic. That combined with PCOS will make it tough getting pregnant.
Ask your doctor about taking metformin. This will help regulate your insulin levels which will help your diabetes and will work with your ovaries to hopefully get them to ovulate.
Metformin has also been known to help women lose weight combined with diet and exercise. Watch your portion size. When you eat a carb make sure you've got a protein. Cut out sugars.

Its obvious you care for your kitty a lot. It sounds like your kitty is losing weight in the face of a normal to increased appetite. Several thoughts come to mind. You mention that the T3 was normal. More importantly what about the T4. Was it normal. I also assume the blood sugar was normal. One avenue that does not appear to have been explored is a GI problem. If it has not been done already I would recommend xrays of the chest and abdomen.
There may be exercises you can do to tone the muscles in your face. Sometimes toning is what it takes, rather than actually losing weight in one spot. As was noted above, you can't spot reduce.
I'd suggest that you do a search for "facial exercises" or something like that and see what you come up with. I'm sure there a plenty that you can either download or watch/do while online. Once you learn the exercises, you can pretty much do them any place.
One lb of weight is equivalent to about 3500 calories. So if you want to lose a pound of weight your going to need to cut back a total of 3500 calories in three or four days and you will likely lose about 1 lb. I hope this makes sense to you. If your body is burning 2000 calories daily and you are eating 1300 calories daily that is a 700 calorie deficiency per day. So... in about 5 days you would loose 1 lb. (700 calorie per day X 5 days= 3500 calories. Now...
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?
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.

No it's normal at during your 1st trimester for your weight to be down and up.. Keep taking your prenatals and whatever you could keep down make it healthy.. I lost 13 lbs from my 1st and 2nd trimester.. If it gets worse your doctor will help you don't worry.
I lost 20 pounds the first 19 week of my pregnancies from morning sickness. I just started gaining weight and I've already gained 10 pounds. So be happy your losing it because once you start gaining it your going to gain like crazy. But they say you usually lose weight with boys, and well everyone I know with boys has lost weight like crazy so if you haven't yet found out what your having this might be a good wives tale.
I just want to say first off. Never give up! It will get better. I know its hard to not feel like your at a weight, or skin your unconfortable with, but try having a chat with your family doctor. They should be able to set and appropriate goal weight for you, and give you some tips on losing some weight. Never try starving yourself or making yourself throw up. You are wonderfully made. Keep going. You can do it.
