Why is my 10 year old cat starting to lose weight? My 10 year old moggy is starting to lose weight and I dont know why. I have taken her to the vets and she has had blood tests done , all normal, she has been wormed, and eats constantly. However she is still slowly losing weight and I dont know why. To begin with we thought it was hyperthyroidism, which is quite common in older felines, but her blood tests were normal. She eats 2 small pouches of whiskas a day, plus small handful of cruchy biscuits on top. She drinks normally, likes the odd bowl of milk and even eats out of the dogs dinner bowl when the dog isnt looking!! I am at a loss, in every other way she is quite normal, and healthy. Her coat is fine, and the is quite perky and playful. The only other thing she has wrong with her, which she has had for a few yeas, is small purple type tumours in her ears, which irritate her and cause her to scratch and shake her head alot. The vet says this is ok and theres nothing they can do about them?? Anyone got any ideas?/ thanks

Why did I continue to lose weight, without working out for 2 weeks? Actually, I didnt work out for exactly 15 days, after exercising at least 5 days a week before that. I lost about 4 lbs over the course of that time without exercising at all. (I've lost 26 since January, and I plan to continue). I pretty much had very light to no physical activity during this time. My calorie intake may have actually increased (with unhealty foods), so how is it that I still dropped those pounds? Is that my metabolism may have changed? For the record, I'm not speaking of water weight, which I know will vary, and I'm sure there was a definate weight loss. If you're wondering, there was no reason I stopped over those 2 weeks, just lost motivation temporarily, but I started back today. I'm not complaining, but why did I lose with no workouts?

Why are people willing to risk their health to lose weight? I've notices this pretty scary trend on this site. As a Master Fitness Trainer, I am concerned with fitness moreso than weight. I understand that people want to lose weight quickly, but at what risk? Is it really worth it? Wouldn't you rather lose weight slowly and improve your health than go on a crash diet that ruins your health, ultimately slows down your metabolism, and causes you to gain more weight? What can be done to stop this trend? I know that many Americans are overweight, but I think in the long run, this obsession with quick weight loss is going to cause a health crisis greater than that caused by simply being overweight.

Why is it dangerous to lose weight "too quickly"? Why do the doctors say that it is not healthy or even dangerous to lose weight too quickly? That makes no sense.

Why do people who want to lose weight always talk about foods to eat? Why not talk about how hunger pains are good for you? Hunger is your friend if you want to lose weight. If you stay hungry, I guarantee you will lose weight. Hunger 'pains' are short lived demands by your stomach telling you it wants food. What does the stomach know about how much food you should be eating? The answer is NOTHING!!!! As you fast, after 3 days your stomach will be shrinking and you will have less and less hunger 'pains'. Believe it or not it is much cheaper to not eat than to eat anything.. hip hop-- 'starvation mode' is that level of calorie intake that forces the body's fat metabolism to turn on. It takes 3 days of 'starvation mode' to begin burning up the stored fat. Without that, weight loss can be so slow as to be discouraging. George, that is what I am talking about. Why pay money to not eat? On somebodies promise that if you eat this or that product you will lose weight. Losing weight is cheap. No food (or only a little). The guarantee is you will lose weight.

What is the secret? Why do some people lose weight and have excess skin but Biggest Losers people do not? So many people lose weight and have baggy/saggy skin left over, hanging off their frame.

How can i lose weight with thyroid disease? I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism 13 years ago and I am only 26 now. I have gained 50 pounds this past year putting me at an all time high of 194 lbs at 5'5", and I am at my wits end with trying to maintain let alone lose weight. My levels were just checked and I am within normal range. So why is my metabolism still so crappy? Its hard for me to get motivated let alone exercise being I stay tired most of the time. My doctor told me that in order for me to lose weight I would have to eat twice as less and exercise twice as much as someone without thyroid disease in order to lose the extra weight. Are you kidding me!!?? Does anyone else have a similar issue and if so what do you do?

Why is it that you have to engage in specific practices in order to LOSE weight, yet you do not have to do so? for example, you don't have to do anything in particular to gain weight, i.e. eating any specific foods. All you might ultimately have to do is just like eat normally and excercise/live your life normally, and in doing so you could gain weight. But even if you did not gain weight you would not lose weight, either unless you altered what you ate/how you excercised. In essence, you were not even trying to gain weight, and yet you did anyway, without even trying. When it comes to LOSING weight, however, you actually have to do certain things, i.e. eating certain foods which are almost always impossible to come by and expensive, and excercising regularily to even lose any weight at all. And in order to maintain your weight loss you have to continue to eat the expensive foods and excercise like that, like you can't just eat normal inexpensive foods and live your life normally or else you will gain the weight back and/or you will not lose any more. So why is it that you have to engage in specific practices in order to LOSE weight (eating specific foods, engaging in specific excercize, e.t.c.) yet you do NOT have to do anything in particular (i.e. you could just be eating what you normally eat/doing what you normally do) to gain and/or maintain your weight?

Why do people wait until one month before summer to lose weight? Really, I am sick of seeing the 'How can I lose weight FAST for summer!?!?!?' Really, you knew you needed to lose weight long before summer so now you want to be unhealthy and lose weight fast when you could have started January 1st or better yet YEARS ago and done it the right way? Why do you think people do things like that? It just mind boggles me because it stresses you out even more to give yourself one month to lose 20 pounds, that is unrealistic and healthy. I agree dieting is hard and summer is a motivator, if it wasn't gyms wouldn't have so many sign ups right before summer, which in turn they up their prices because they know saps like to wait until April or May to sign up. If looking good really meant a lot to you and being healthy is important you should take a better step towards getting to your goal, not make your body work 40x harder because you were too lazy to start sooner. unhealthy*** It does effect me because I have to see those questions all day, really people have bigger problems then when to tell people to start exercising and stop eating so much crap. I see tips on how to exercise helpful, I see when people ask for helpful diet plans helpful, I see when people are looking for just some general good ideas of how to just be healthy helpful, there are much better questions being asked that go unanswered because people are clogging up the front page with moronic questions like 'am I fat' and 'how to lose 30 pounds by june, need help!?' it is the same as 'am I pregnant?' they are a waste of my time as well as other peoples so don't tell me that they don't effect me.

Can this help me lose weight? Hello All, I have a question. It may sound silly but I'm being serious. I've gained about 10 lbs. since a year ago and I am trying to control my appetite. Recently, I've noticed that if I drink a can of soda, the carbonated water makes me feel full so I don't eat as much. If I drink a natural (fat free) soda with my lunch everyday, can this actually help me lose some of the weight I lost? BTW, I don't sit at home all day on my butt. I do a lot of walking while commuting to/from work and during my lunch break. I also own an exercise machine that I've been using for about 2 weeks now (3 times a week). Thanks for your help! I am 5'7" and weigh about 140. The weight gain is in my belly so it's not attractive and that's why I'm trying to lose the weight. The soda is made by Pellegrino. No sugar added, No fat, No sodium. It's all natural.

How can my grandmother lose weight?=/ please help!? Hello!My grandmother is almost 75 years old, and she eats quite unhealthily (the foods are made by her mostly, but are very fatty) and is very overweight.

Why did I lose weight? During the school year we had a huge project due so I ate dinner really fast to get to work. I ate just a little and when I went to bed I was usually hungry but I wasn't trying to diet or aanything. The next day I ate breakfast lunch and a snack. I did that for about two weeks and when I weighed myself I dropped six pounds without even trying. A month later I gained it all back but by the end of the school year I dropped it for good by doing the same thing (again not meaning to). Now I want to lose eight more pounds by the end of the summer. And its wierd because I have been actually trying to lose weight and I haven't lost a thing! I am eating healthy and more dinner and exersise everyday. Why am I not losing weight and how can I lose it? And why did I lose weight by not exersising and hardly eating dinner?

Why do you want to lose weight FAST instead of permanently??? I keep seeing questions from people trying to lose 15 to 30 pounds per month. Why are you in such a rush to lose it? Would it not be better and safer to lose the weight at a slower weight and keep it off? Those who crash diet seem to regain the weight because they go back to the same habits. Those who lose weight slowly seem to keep it off. At least from what I've seen. There are several good reasons here, and so it's difficult for me to select just one. So I'm leaving this one to the voters to decide. When you vote, please vote for the one that fits you the best. Thanks!

Why can I not seem to lose any weight? I have tried numerous diets and exercise. However, whenever I try to eat healthily I seem to put on weight and not lose it. (I recently tried the cereal diet of two bowls for two weeks and tended to have grilled chicken with vegetables/ salad/ brown rice etc. for dinner. While doing this I exercised alot more than usual and had three apples as "snacks" each day. - That was all...) At the end of two weeks I weighed myself and found that I had actually put on 7pounds... :s Since then, I have resumed my normal eating habits of nothing until lunch when I eat a sandwich, a packet of crisps and a piece of fruit and a dinner which tends to be something quick and easy to cook... snacks consist of more crisps, sweets and chocolate bars. Two weeks on from ending the "cereal diet" I have lost the 7lbs I gained... I'm really really confused - why am I able to lose weight eating unhealthily and manage to put on weight when I restrict my calorie intake???? Any advice?? In addition: Im definately not UNDER weight... I weigh in at 13 stone, 2 pounds (roughly 180 pounds??) and I am 5ft 5" (164cm) Also I can guarantee that I am not pregnant due to the fact i'm a 20yr old virgin.

Why cant I lose weight? :(? I lost almost 2 stone two years ago by starting walking when previously I hadnt done any exercise before. (I was also going through a tough time and was anxious so Im sure that helped and supressed my appetite) Currently I power-walk 5.5 kms every day and I dont eat a massive amount at all - probably around 1200-1500 calories each day but in the past 2 months I have put on 6 pounds and I cant shift it.... Could it be that my body has got used to the amount of exercise that I do and the amount of food that I eat and is working efficiently so thats why I cant lose those 6 pounds? I have decided to start swimming each day too to see if that helps. Any advice please? I am not overweight for my height but if I keep putting the pounds on then I soon will be and will soon be back to where I started! (I am 5ft5 and did weigh 64 kilos... went down to 51 kilos... fluctuated around 54 for about 12 months and Im now 56.8 kilos... not that Im weight concious or anything!!! :) ) Thanks. Forgot to add that Ive tried slim fast for the past couple of weeks and still nothing! Its v frustrating..... Im considering doing a detox for a few days and eating just fruit and vegetables to see if that helps..... I know weight is not important compared to other things in life - its just getting me down a bit at the mo.
