I need some advice. I am trying to lose weight however, I am not having much luck and thought I would try this site to see if it helps me. I have been taking prednisone to help my lungs, I have been on this medicine for about 1 and a half years. This medicine raises your appetite and makes you retain water. My doctor said I need to lose weight or die so I started to take Lipozene and was watching what I eat and increase my water intake. Instead of loosing weight I gained weight. I have also been exercising. I found this site hoping that keeping track of what I am really eating will help. I am desperate to loose the weight but want to do it safely. I can not stop taking the prednisone at this time because the last time I tried I ended up in the ICU. What can I do to turn this around. I have never had this problem loosing weight before.

The predisone makes people hungry and many crave sweets. But your body does not really need that food. Keep exercising. Keep track of your food/calories here.0
