Loss of Weight: I understand your concern to lose 5-6pounds in 2 weeks At age 17, stressors of relationships, separation, breaking of relationships can cause anxiety and depression which can cause loss of weight. It is not WHAT you eat, IT IS WHAT is eating you! Amphetamines and cocaine abuse , Overactive thyroid gland and overuse of laxatives can also cause loss of weight. See a Physician for diagnosis .
