the weight shows up some times and then goes away again. I don’t know if it is just bloat form the meds or what. I am sticking to the keeping more active and eating less. Just hoping that when this course of breathing steroids is over, the weight falls off. I always feel a lot more energetic while I am on the pred, but its down side is the emotions. I start to cry easily, not sobbing or anything, just tear up and my eyes leak. With the loss of my parents, this last couple of months, that is probably not a bad thing.

at least the scale is heading in the right direction. It did help to buy a good scale. The biggest thing i am proud of is that i am losing even though i am currently on prednisone. typically you gain weight on the medicine, but i have felt alot better on it and it makes me more willing to work out and to be physical. Also being able to breathe helps.
my old scale would fluctuate by 60 pounds, not too accurate. So I bought a Tanita scale that even checks body fat and water. Set it up for self and hubby. The only good part is that when I checked my weight, I hadn’t gained any in the last month even though I am starting my second round of prednisone in that time.
