Hello! I’d love to hear any positive stories about people who lost weight whilst on steroids. I’m not able to stop taking them any time soon (auto immune disease) and put on 3 stone since I started taking them. I am losing but having to eat at 1200 cals to do so (I’m 5’8” and currently 19 stone so that’s very low). Would love some motivation please!

    Ugh. I was on prednisone for years. Just watch your intake and you should be fine. I was hungry while on prednisone and ended up snacking all day. I put on a sneaky 30 pounds.

    Hopefully the meds will help you quickly <3
