 Amenorrhea - Missed Periods Hi, I'm wondering if it's "normal" to miss a period when decreasing caloric, fat and carb intake along with increasing cardio activity. I missed my period two weeks ago and am NOT pregnant. Some background: I am currently on my 4th week of training and have lost 5 pounds of body weight and 2-1/4 inches around my waist. Prior to training, I worked out maybe two times / week with weights and 30 min. cardio each time. I weighed 120 and had an almost-30" waist. Not sure of my caloric intake prior to training four weeks ago. I'm guessing it was somewhere around 1,800 - 2,000. However, my current average caloric intake is approximately 1,400 -- 35% carbs, 45% protein, 20% fat. I am 5'1" and am currently 115 pounds. Not sure what my body fat % is at the moment, though three weeks ago, it was high at 25%  . I will have my body fat measured again at the end of the month. Oh, I almost forgot -- I increased my cardio to 60 min. at four times per week and work out with weights one day a week (all muscle groups). Took this past week OFF from cardio and weights.GOAL: 15% body fat with 24" waist. Body weight is not of concern to me so long as I lose the body FAT, though if I were to pick a number, it would be 100 pounds. Any input would be greatly appreciated!

| It certainly is not uncommon for that to happen.

| I did not know it was common so common. Should I expect to miss my period again this month and all through my training? I dieted stricter and trained harder 10 years ago and don't recall ever missing any of my periods. Thanks again for your quick replies!

| With age your period can become much more sensitive to changes in your diet and workout. Once your body leveles out you may start having a regular period again, or you may not. its purely indiviudal |
