Oh, if only I could look like that :).... Seriously though, are you under any stress lately? Stress can cause weight loss, as can overactive thyroid. Talk with your MD about this. S/he can do some blood work to figure out the problem. You might even want to see an Endocrinologist about it. My Mother was having a hard time with weight loss, and even with blood work from her Internist, nothing was showing up. She ultimately sought out an Endocrinologist and he did some more in depth blood work which showed Insulin Resistance. She is now taking medication for it and her weight is coming down. I know you are already losing weight, but I am using that as an example of what an endocrinologist may find that your Internist may not...make sense? ;).... Robin
