it's likely that your system lost control after the rapid weight loss, and not knowing what to do it usually goes into shock. your period will come around but don't be surprised if it's irregular for some time. [ es's advice column | Ask es A Question ]

Sudden and rapid weight loss is not a
healthy thing. It is one of the signs
of diabetes. So unless you are doing
something to lose this weight, please
see a doctor about it. Especially if
you have a family history of diabetes.
You can lose your period from weight
loss. Extreme exercise can also cause
your periods to stop.

You are exactly right. I don't know how tall you are, but it seems like you're losing too much, maybe too fast. I would suggest seeing a doctor and getting it checked out if you miss another one. I hope I helped.
Good luck,

Hey again,
I hope you get this ammended message. I think 21lbs in 4 months is too much weight for your height sweetie. What did you do to lose it? I agree with the other advice columnist too. YOur periods could be irregular. YOu are young. However, it's still best to get it checked out with your doctor if it persists. Please be careful when losing so much weight. I hope I helped.
