 not sure to post this, going to post in a few groups.



So, last Friday I was at the dr's, They took my weigh, I weighed 180  (I would think I'm getting older I should be gaining not loosing)  And I am not doing anything different.  Last Year about this time I was 210,  and last night had two survings of ham and scaloped potatos,  So,  I am not loosing appetite. 


I could have some cheese burger slider's at 12-12:30 and be hungry 2-3 hrs later.


Just googled med's I take for a inlarged prostate, and post-nazel-drip, and that's not causing it.


And also googled, weight loss but still have full appetite,  Came up  hyper thyroid and cancer.


I have been having alot of anxiety lately......I don't know.

Hi Guitarman
Hyperthyroidism can make you lose weight. I would have some blood work done just to check.

Anxiety to can also make you lose weight.

Definitely if I was you I would make an appointment with your doctor.

Hope all goes well.

Let us know how it goes.

It sounds like me. A few weeks ago I used to weigh over 197 and now I am weigh 170 and still losing weight. I do not have an appetite. Are you like that?

I remember speaking with a friend of mine in 2012, she told me that anxiety will make you lose weight weather you want to or not. I keep that in mind all the time. I just do not have an appetite.

Don’t stress yourself out, sometimes stress can affect your body in unusual ways. Weight gain/weight loss… pay attention to how your sleeping patterns are because you lose calories in your sleep.

Go to your PCP and get a general check-up and mention the weight loss. It is good to have everything checked out and then you can know for sure it is something or it is nothing. You have a lot of friends on here who care about you.

    I haven't written in my diary on my computer since May because I thought that my computer was dying.  I got away from writing but my computer is hanging in there.  I think that I will start writing in it again.  It's so therapeutic.
