Answers:
It sounds like since you've lost a lot of weight in so short a time your body is in shock. You may not be getting adequate nutrition-that can cause your period to stop and your hair to fall out. I suggest not losing weight quite as fast. Right now you're at a healthy weight but make sure you're getting enough protein in your diet and everything.
