Well looks like I am starting completely over....I gained my few pounds back I had lost while being sick. Not sure if it was because It has been very hard for me to swallow (strep throat) having ZERO energy (upper resp. infection). I went to the Dr. and they gave me a steriod shot along with antibotic shot, steriod, antibiotic, and cough prescription. Don't know what else to do besides start all over...very discouraging, but I guess it is what it is...... Just don't really understand why I gained it all back when I wasn't really eating, or moving (that has to be why) anyway.....just was needing to vent, thanks for listening!!! Hope everyone stayes well!!!

    I'm in the same boat this week. Sick and not really eating or moving. I'm hoping for no gain. Don't give up. Keep going! This is just a little set back. You can do it!

    Steroids would make you gain weight, so that could be it.

    Yeah what he said , steroids actually make you retain more water and make you look bloated, once they're out of your system you'll be fine

    I was told that antibiotics will also make you retain water, that might be something, keep trying once you feel better, you can do it!
