Default Weight Loss ?

Hi ladies,
I have a question, I have noticed over the last 6 months or so I have lost quite a bit of weight. 40 lbs all together, which is great and I love it, however my questions is, I have not done anything differently, my diet has not changede and I am not excersizing anymore than I had in the past. I was recently diagnosed with PCOS (yesterday) and I know it can cause weight GAIN, but what about weight LOSS?

TIA

Did you mention this to your doctor??

Any drastic change in weight (up or down) is worth mentioning.

I would get a new doctor. Seriously...
Unexplained weight loss is something your doctor should at least 'follow up' on. It may be 'nothing', but at least they should look into it.

New doc.

it could be alot of things. your metabloism (i know i misspelled that sorry) could be a little high. you thyroid levels could be high. so i would talk to the doctor about it again. and if he / she still doesnt want to do anything about it then find other doctor.

but 40lbs in 6monthes isnt to bad. i would say that if you had lost that much in one month i would be alittle worried about.
