Ht. 5'5, Wt. 165 - Hey guys..well i went to the doctors on tuesday last week and there i weighed 169.3 (in the morning b4 i ate breakfast) and now i weigh 165..i went to the doctors cuz i think i am lactose intolerant (which i am) and so i got some lactaids to take so i can eat dairy since the doctor wants me to get enough calcium. So well i have been eating really really crappy (i think i've had a bowl of ice cream at least everyday plus something else like a piece of cake (mom's birthday) or some mini eclairs (just like donuts)) and i'm kinda wondering if the lactaid is making me lose weight. Its not a perscription or anything but it has only been a week and i know that 4 pounds a week isn't healthy. should i be worried? i havn't been losing weight before that because i was just trying to maintain it for a while. Should i tell my doctor when i go again in a week (for a checkup)? Plez reply! thanx

you shouldnt be worried because 4 lbs a week isnt extremely unhealthy..and its prob just something in the medicine. if you have any questions about it though id ask your doctor
