Have any if you experienced weight loss without trying? Normally I hear about gaining weight, not losing.

    Oh yes! This happened to me about four years ago. In 2014 I began losing weight without trying. It was very sudden. I had a baby in 2013 so I thought I was just losing baby weight but I continued to lose weight and couldn't stop. I tried to eat fattening foods, it didn't help. I thought I was dying of some undetectable disease. Everyone thought I was ill. I looked almost anorexic. It was a very depressing and painful time. But I had begun peri and that was one of the symptoms. Eventually I gained the weight back and then some. Now I'm overweight! 😂 As ridiculous as this may sound, try not to worry. Eat when you have an appetite. Don't worry when you don't have one. Believe me the weight will come back.

    Hi there, I've lost over 30pounds since last December! I can only put it down to losing my sense of taste, so losing appetite and not eating as much as I used to. Or having my hormones normalised with HRT, has made me lose it. Either way, I don't mind as its done me no harm. XXX

      I have also lost my sense of taste. Food just doesn't taste as good as it used to. I have to make myself eat twice a day. Food used to taste so good, now everything taste the same. I have to be starving for food to taste good.

      My food and drink tastes like it has bleach or something in it so I only eat tiny amounts of food that tastes as near to normal as possible. Baked beans, sandwiches with something like salmon and cucumber, salads and wholemeal bread with sunflower spread not butter which tastes sickly. It's all trial and error to find what tastes ok and what doesn't! Lol when are we going to get a break in these horrid symptoms 😢 XXX

      My food just all tastes the same, unless I'm reaaallllly hungry. I have lost weight too. Only about 10 pounds which is fine(I really could stand to lose another 10.Lol). But sometimes I go all day without eating. I'm just not hungry. So I take a multivitamin and I do try to eat three meals a day during the week.

    Yep. Back in December I got down to 109 lbs. Food tasted weird, I was super anxious and the weight fell off. Eventually food tasted good again so I tried gaining it back. It's been REALLY hard, but I've got a couple pounds back on. 

    Such a weird, scary symptom when you don't realize what's going on.
