I lost about 30 pounds in the last year

I haven't lost alot of weight since 1999 & that was 30 some lbs. Sadly since having kids that's all come back and a bit more. And of course having kids means extra expense I can't afford to go to the gym as it is nonetheless pay childcare there.

Good for you for losing the weight! Unfortunately stress and anxiety can cause a person to lose a lot of weight. Which isn't exactly a good way to lose it. I could stand to lose about 10 pounds myself. I just need to start eating a little better.

Good for u for losing it but that's a hard way to lose it from stress. no, i haven't lost any but sure need to.

Hi MoneyMommy,
This sounds alarming to me. Losing 30 pounds means a lot. Are you not having any health problems or having weird feeling? It's good to lose weight is you 're following a program. I hope you're okay and if not maybe you need to see a doctor especially that what causes your weight loss were stress related. Please don't get me wrong. You need self-care and other stress management activities. For the meantime, take a deep breath and relax. I hope i can lose that much too. I want to lose extra weight.

i have lost about 10 pounds in the last few months and hope to loose a bit more. i still weigh too much and hope to loose some more but i have gone down a few sizes.

I have gained weight rather then lost it. I think stress really does different things for different people. It made me gain... I guess if you look at it this way, stress can make some over eat and some under eat.

I haven't lost alot of weight but I've lost about five pounds recently.
I'm working on losing a bit more, perhaps another five pounds.
Like you, I've been active with jogging exercise, weight lifting and eating less fatty foods, more fruits and cutting down on sugary sweets and cakes.
I feel so much better now, and can fit in my clothes comfortably.
If stress and anxiety is making you lose weight, perhaps you can get more rest for your nerves. And drink some soothing herbal teas.

I've lost 35 lbs since the first of june and could stand to lose more, like 60-80 more...

Hi MM,

When I get stressed or anxious I don't eat..food is the last thing I think of or even want then I do lose weight, the other reason I think you lose weight like that is because you are living on nervous energy, so it is a catch 22 situation, but onthe other hand some comfort eat...in a sense I am glad it isn't that way with me as it puts on weight...LoLo

Only this year, i felt i had lost a few pounds due to the busy life i am having right now. Taking care of my son and doing housework with busy online schedule, really makes me too busy, until had loss appetite in food. I agreed that, stress and anxiety can makes us lose weight a lot. Anyway, we must try to combat those stress and anxiety, to make a balance and healthy lifestyle. Do take good care of yourself, while busy. Stay healthy forever....
