Lost 10 pounds in a week and a half without trying?

Hi I have lost 10 pounds in a week and a half without trying lately. I haven't worked out lately either. I haven't really had an appetite lately because I have been feeling anxious lately and really haven't gotten out of the house in a few days and I really don't feel in the mood to leave my house. So on Friday I was 240, Sunday I was 238 and yesterday I was 237 now I'm 236. I was wondering how this is happening. Lately all I have been drinking is water though.

    water weight. not eating and drinking lots of water has flushed the sodium (salt) from your body. all the water the sodium was holding on to is gone, so you lost ten lbs. some of it might be real fat tho like 1or 2lbs but mostly its sodium.

    Please see your doctor to get your thyroid and sugar checked. Diabetes, thyroid issues and few other diseases can cause unexplained weight loss.
