Hello. I have always been active and physically fit. Due to medical reasons I have been taking Prednisone ( a steroid) for the past two years, and have found myself in a losing battle against fatique and weight gain. I have gained approximately 30lbs. I work out regularly, and have altered my eating habbits (which were NOT poor to begin with), but nothing has worked. My weight has seemed to have stabilized where it's at, but I would really like to lose the weight I put on, or at least "sculpt" my new shape. Is there anyone else out there who has successfully delt with taking Prednisone and being able to keep weight off, or lose weight while still on the medication? For me, discontinuing the medication is not an option. Thank you for any advice you may offer!
