Recently tapered off of a high dosage of prednisone and gained about 20 ibs. Has anyone else had a similar experience and lost the weight?

    My dose of Pred was halved and I regained about half what I had lost. I have since re-lost all that weight. I put the regain down to VERY poor logging at the time, going a few weeks at a time with no logging at all and lost again when I tightened my logging right up.

    Loss is possible, just takes a little disipline.

    GOOD LUCK! I was on a high dose briefly, and felt the hunger. I feel for folks who have to do it long term.
