Anyone else have unexplainable weight loss?

[mangageek]

I'm 5'0 and 94 lbs. since going to college I have gone from 98 to 94 lbs and it has only been a month. I thought I would gain weight like my doctor told me to but I lost somehow. I have been eating a lot and not all of it has been healthy :P since going vegetarian a few months back I lost weight from 105 to 98 and had maintained that until recently. anyone else have this problem? is this really unhealthy? any tips to gain back some of the weight if it would help my health in the long run?

It's perfectly natural for your weight to fluctuate throughout the day. My weight will change by a few pounds daily depending on what I eat and how much I drink. You have to remember that your recommended amount of water intake is around 2-3 litres, that's 2-3kg which is err, anything up to 6.5 pounds roughly? anyway I'm being too lazy to check proper conversions so it may be off a little :p

anyway your weight doesn't stay exactly the same so unless it's drastic weight loss I really wouldn't worry about it one bit.

Tell me your complete eating schedule throughout the day.

I eat 3meals daily and snack quite often. But my snacks are healthy. At each meal except breakfast I have some kind of dessert from the dining hall

What do you eat in your snacks ? Please tell me in detail.

Ideally, if you burn as much calories as you eat, you will stay how you are currently. If you consume more calories than you do physical activities, then your weight gain is certain.

Hummus and crackers, caramel popcorn, fruit sometimes, chips and salsa. Plus any food I steal from the cafeteria which could be desserts or normal food like pastas. I'll try counting calories to gain weight if I continue to lose

[internet_user]

Yes. That is what you have to do. But don't overdo it otherwise you will deposit some cellulite around your body. Please tell me what physical activities you do ?

i bike anywhere off campus and I walk to all my classes because the campus is pretty small. once or twice a week I go running with some friends but I want to do that more often. I want to work up to running or biking every day soon

If you have a moment we can talk in detail as I cannot explain everything in this tiny comment space. OR Continue talking in this tiny space.

Your choice ?

[mangageek]

how about we continue through our inboxes. that way we don't have the lame restrictions of how much we can type

[internet_user]

ok

naturally your body does fluctuate about 5 pounds due to water weight so that is perfectly normal. also stress can cause you to lose weight (or gain it)

As long as you are getting all your nutrients then it is not un-healthy, I think... 94lbs may be light but 5'0 is very short so I don't think it's that bad.

Just make sure you get enough healthy carbs and protein.

You should probably eat more protein and exercise.

I have tofu or beans every day with my meals and I've started working out a few times a week with a few girls I know on my dorm floor. We mainly go running. I'll see how it affects me but I'm thinking working out will make me lose even more. I still will work out though. Makes me feel more energetic and healthy

Do some light weight lifting so you can gain muscle.
