Unexplained lbs loss: Weight loss despite adequate food intake is not normal & should be discussed with your doctor. Unexplained weight loss may be a sign for a serious underlying medical condition.

Go to your Dr., ASAP: You should see your primary care doctor asap, because serious causes of weight loss include high thyroid levels (hyper thyroidism) (corrected by medication), or some sort of cancer, especially at your age. Definitely get those checked out. You can increase your weight by taking megace (megestrol).
