Question

i mean, im not complaining that im losing weight, i just think its weird...

Answer 1

Your weight loss might be affected by water retention.

Answer 2

I just got mine. I may be young but it could be because you sometimes may have a heavy period, then you are losing weight because of that heavy blood-flow. You could call it water weight I guess.

Answer 3

Well, I don't know about you, but when I'm on mine, my cramps make so nauseous I can't eat, adn I'm always exercising to get rid of the cramps, thus, the wieght loss.
