Prednisone and Losing weight

MissBettyBoop2

Anyone out there having to be on prednisone and trying to lose weight? If so, how did you do?

I was on it for 4 months before I started MFP, it was one of the kick in the butts I needed to get to losing weight. I know I felt better when I would get some exercise while on it, but I wasn't actively trying to lose while on it. I feel for you, I felt like crap when I was on it, always hungry, retained water like it was going out of style and just generally crabby. Sorry I can't really answer your question, but you have my sympathy. I would really push yourself to get some exercise every day, but don't go overboard because it can cause your joints to ache something fierce and I would drink a ton of water.

Now that is a good question that I need the answer to. I have been put on it longterm and I just seem to be slowly gaining weight no matter what. I can drop five and one month latet gain 6 or 7.
