im a little late asking this but...
my last period was on new years(like RIGHT at the start of the new year 11:58 pm right when i was going 2 touch myself stressed ) but befor that it didn't come for 2 months(ish). i was loseing a lot of weight then my "friend" told/made me gain weight. so my question is did the big weight lost make me lose my period and did it come back when i gain some weight back?
and im a little afraid of gaining weight so if its true how can i go back 2 loseing weight without loseing my period?(not that i really what it around but i dont what my grandmother thinking im going 2 have a child sweatdrop )

Girls usually get their first period when they reach roughly 100 pounds (100 pounds is the average, not the absolute magic number for every single girl). And girls can lose their period if they drop below about 100 pounds. So if you are hovering around 100 pounds, you might notice a lot of irregularity. That's your body's way of trying to prevent you from getting pregnant before you have enough body fat and resources to grow a baby.
Puberty is a time of growing and putting on weight. You can't really avoid gaining weight during puberty unless you want to be unhealthy. So it's certainly not something you should be afraid of or trying to avoid unless you are actually overweight to begin with.
Make sure you are eating healthy foods. Limit your soda, sugar, fat, and red meat. Eat plenty of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. You should also eat small meals often to keep your metabolism running fast. If you eat healthy and exercise a bit, your body should settle into its healthy and ideal weight all on its own.
Don't forget that irregular periods are very common, especially for girls who have had their period for three years or less. So a late or missed period doesn't necessarily mean a weight issue or pregnancy. It often means your body just hasn't regulated yet or that you are stressed.

When a girl is or becomes underweight, they may not have very regular periods. I'm 5'4" and 105 pounds at age 19, and my period does not come every month. If it continues to do that, you may want to consider going to a gynecologist. 3nodding

On that note, do weight fluctuations change your period? I've had a couple significant changes over the last year.

Weight totally affects it. >3
I've always been underweight; same with my mom so we are both super irregular.
I got my first period when I was 12.. then a year later it came again.. then about 6 months after the second one I got another one.
It does take a bit of time to get normal when you first get it.. like you might have your first period then three months later get a second one and only bleed every few months for the first couple years. It's only really something to be concerned about if you bleed for a month straight or something. ;p
If you do stay irregular for a couple of years and want to get regular the birth control pill will give you a monthly period. 3nodding

Yep, my period started right about when I hit 100 pounds, I would say that is rather accurate! But it's still irregular because I'm a little over 5'10" and about 107 lbs.
