Should I be concerned?

Question

I'm not a very big girl 5'4" and my weight 2 months ago was 113lbs. I don't execise and all I eat is junk food pretty much since college started. A couple of friends were telling me that it looks like I've dropped weight and seemed pale. I figured I was pale due to my make up. I didn't believe because I don't feel like I've lost any weight and I figured my boyfriend would notice. I made a bet that I didn't and weighed myself in front of them.  I'm now 95lbs. Now I'm concerned should I go to a doctor? Does anyone know what might cause that?

Answer

I agree, you should see your doctor ASAP. That's quite a bit of weight to lose at your size. You should also keep track of your health in other ways to help you figure out why you're losing the weight. Have you been dizzy, weak feeling, unable to catch your breath, unusually tired, frequently ill, etc. 
​And if you find that it's just because you're forgetting to eat, or eating too much junk, you can do things like set reminders on your phone to eat at certain times in the day and switch out at least one junk meal for healthy food every day. 
​I've had trouble maintaining my weight (4'11", weight anywhere from 98-104), and when I don't eat enough I get low blood sugar and feel like death.

Answer

See a dr; that's too much weight lost in short period of time. They'll prolly take a blood test. Could be a thyroid situation too.  
​In the mean time, up you water intake, fruits & veggies, vitamins (esp vitamin D), get fresh air, and lay off as much sugar as possible (last ones the hardest for me).
​Oh I too had issues w/ low weight but I usually knew why (stress induced, forgetting to eat BC of it, running myself ragged (burning more calories than eating)). I'm 5'2 & now avg at 106
​
​Best wishes!

Answer

i would see your doctor

Answer

I am also 5'4" and 113 pounds. That's a huge fluctuation in weight. When I was diagnosed with diabetes I dropped weight like that. However, if that's what it was you'd have many other symptoms. You definitely need to see your dr though.
