Weight Loss
KimmyRox asked:


I’ve been dietig for a while, and lost a good amount of weight, but im not done and am still hoping to loose more.
I don’t know how much i weigh currently but im 13 years old and am 5′5″ and i lost my period.
I havent had it for about 2 months now and im worried.
No matter what i eat or how much i exercise i seem to gain weight, and im scared it might be from my period loss.
Is there anyway i can get my period back without going to the doctor or anything?
I need help, i cannot stand gaining anymore of my weigh back,
I want serious answers that can actually help, i really need help, and i don’t want any mean answers either.
I’m superly sensitive.
Im a virgin im not a little **** im not sexually active get real im not pregnant
im not exactly sure but i weigh aroud 120 to 125 pounds, im not happy with that.

I wanted to start a weight loss competition this summer in my family, but I wanted it to be fair. For example its probably easier for my 260 pound brother to lose a pound than my 160 pound mom.

So whats is the best way to compare? Should it just be percentage of mass? Should fat be considered? Should i buy a body fat analyzer? Because i guess if someone lost 10 pounds of fat and gained 3 pounds of muscle, wouldn’t that be better than someone else who just lost 9 pounds of fat?

Just curious what people’s thoughts on this are, i want it to be as fair as possible but with accurate measures of comparison.

Do you think there is a correlation between postpartum hair loss and weight loss?

Momma Mia! asked:


I had a baby 4.5 months ago and am exclusively breastfeeding. Just recently my hair began to fall out big time and my weight has also been coming off more easily. I realize that the hair loss is normal, but I’m wondering if there is a correlation between the two. Perhaps the hair loss signals that the pregnancy hormones are out of our system which in turn lets our bodies know that we don’t need the weight anymore. What do you think?
