Lost 15lbs this month

I'm starting to get concerned. I've been trying to be healthy since July and usually lose 4-8lbs per month. In December, things changed. I had no energy, I had no appetite, I was vomiting, having diarrhea, feeling dizzy and nauseous. Sometimes when I stand up, things get fuzzy and it takes a minute for my head to clear. I looked back over my log and 17 of the days in December, I ate less than 1000 cals. This is bad for me especially because I'm really tall. I don't know what's going on. I'm happy to be losing so fast, but this is NOT how I want to lose weight. I guess I should make a doctor's appointment, but I wanted to check here first and see if anyone had experienced anything like what I'm going through.

See a doctor. A sudden chance in how you feel might be nothing, or it might be something. No one on here will be able to tell the difference. If you are vomiting and not eating, the weight you are losing is most likely not fat. It's probably mostly water weight and muscle mass. And, as you say, unhealthy. Best of luck and let us know what the doc says.

Sounds like you're not eating enough. I feel yucky if I don't- particularly if I don't have enough protein. But don't mess around too long. If you don't feel significantly better after eating more in a day, go to the doctor.

OH! Just re-read your post. Go to the doctor! I didn't realize you have actually been sick. Go now!
