steroids & weight gain.....

TurtleRunnerNC

I am on Prednisone for a slipped disk. I gained 2lbs this week. I was pretty even on intake vs. Exercise calories I was 110 over based on my Fitbit stats. I am on strict rest for at least 4 more days then might be cleared to ease back into walking. No other approved exercise for 4-6 weeks @ this time but I am going to ask about swimming & water aerobics.

I am trying really hard to stay @ calorie goal. I have adjusted my stats to sedentary & to maintain to try to just stay where I am. I am 3 different meds that all have to be taken with food.

Frustrated that I stayed within goal enough not to gain weight & still gained 2lbs.
