My brother in law, age 50 is recently has started losing weight. He is not doing anything different and he was not very heavy to begin with. He probably started about 1 month ago at 198lbs he is now down to 179. He has gone to the docotrs and they are starting testing but I was just curious if anyone had some incite as to what could be wrong. He does not feel ill in any way. Is this a symptom of some disease?

He should be checked for diabetes; that can cause rapid weight loss.

If he is on any medication, some which make you think you're not hungry, not purposely aiming at dieting, but certain medications will cause you to lose weight.
I was taking lortab for my back problem, and I also was wondering why I lost 9 lbs. the first month. It was the lortab.
Hope this helps

Diabetes is the first thing that comes to my mind when it's about inexplicable weight loss. Not necessarily, though.

I would have him see his doctor and get tested for Diabetes. My mother in law lost 30 pounds in 2 months and after lots of testing the discovered that she is Diabetic.
