      It all depends on if you needed to lose weight, how long it took you to lose it and how much. Especially when meds are involved!

        @Chesbro99 years. But in the past two months I’ve dropped 27lbs due to having sick intestines and stomach.

      271, that's a lot. So then I would look at how much you are now and if you feel you are health now

      You can check your BMI here: https://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health/educational/lose_wt/BMI/bmicalc.htm If you fall within the healthy range or above and have been losing 1.5 lbs a week or less, then it should be fine.

        @Sunflower.System no don’t use the BMI- if you do research into it it was created by Adolphe Quetelet who was extremely smart but not a doctor and was looking to support his theory that the mathematical mean of a population was the populations ideal. It is more about how you feel, what you eat/ if you feel like you are at a healthy weight. The BMI is extremely toxic and is part of the issue with ED. If the weight loss is because of the meds you are on then I would talk to your doctor
