New to this thread, but I've been dieting for a long time. Prednisone makes me gain weight that doesn't go away when I am off of it. Not that I am off of it.

I've lost 20 lbs in the last year, very slowly. You are supposed to lose not more than 1 lb a week, or the hypothalamus will go into overdrive and try to make you eat more. Been there, done that.

Since I am still on prednisone, and the goal is to get off of it, I am going to be going back to an old med, methotrexate. I went off of it 7 years ago, because it was driving my liver enzymes sky high. And hurting. So the liver specialist said lose 50 lbs or I won't be able to go on it.

Catch is, I need the prednisone, until the mthx works. So very, very slow weight loss and fighting cravings for salt.

So rather than tell you how obese I am, I am just going to tell you I have lost 3 lbs since I saw the liver specialist at the end of July. Slow as molasses, 47 lbs to go!

I suggest you walk down to the local Rexall Drugs, buy yourself some baseball cards with sugar free bubble gum, order yourself a double chocolate sundae, extra cherries, and a Huckleberry Fizz, and a bag of popcorn, head on home, and then take a nap.

Yep....That should be the plan....Walk....Rexall....Nap....

I'm stuck between 154 and 155. With winter coming, it is going to be hard to stay at this weight. At least now i can fit into most of my winter clothes.

"They" say, that if you quit smoking, you gain weight. Thus, the opposite must be true. Take up smoking.

I'd be dead in no time from that. It is finny, in a way, some persons can gain ten pounds and it hardly shows, but others, like me, blow yo like a balloon! I need to keep walking now that cold wealth is chilling my pool at night.

I'm concerned with your recent fall off , fella. I mean, you've been 172.22 since your high school days when "Rhinestone Cowboy" was the #1 song.
