Hi Kristy, I think that much unintentional weight loss needs to checked. Please see your doctor x

Are you having any other medical problems that may explain eg. Gynaecological?

Keep well xx

I thought I was the only one... I've lost 3 pound in a week and I think its from all the stress at night and not sleeping through the night for 7 days now. Being put on tablets to help me calm, somthing called calms. Hope everything goes okay for you!

Yup. Ive lost more weight in two monthsof being anxious than two years of zumba classes. I lost (I dont use stones) 20 pounds. I was eating less but one thing is cortisol which is a steroid hormone is released after a mere few seconds of panic. Prior to that, its adrenaline. But cortisol has heavier effects than adrenaline and is known to burn calories faster (i believe). This is also why those that suffer from insomnia experience weight loss as well.
