lost too much weight!

[Deandra46]

Hello,
Recently joined so please forgive me if I have posted in the wrong place.

Lately I have been very stressed and busy (disabled parent to care for, 2DCs and working). I have been feeling very overwhelmed and stressed over the past few months and noticed today in my full length mirror that I looked considerably thinner. Weighed myself and I was shocked to see that I'd lost 9lbs! I haven't been trying to lose weight deliberately. Anyone else had anything like this?

Yes, when I found out I had an overactive thyroid. I lost over 2 stone in 2 months (but I also had other symptoms). Might be worth getting your bloods checked if there's no obvious reason you've been losing. If you've been running round & eating less & forgetting to take care of yourself then I guess it could be easy to lose that amount over a few months without realising.

Please see your gp.

If you haven’t been trying to lose weight maybe see your GP to rule any illnesses out.

Hello sorry I've come back to this thread late, I've been for a blood test. Many thanks for the replies
