  • Awsome, thanks for the replys, glad to hear it coz its horrible feeling this hungry all the time! I cant just eat coz i know if I put the weight on i wont get rid of it and its pretty hard for me to lose weight.
  • I literally just put a post about prednisone, im on it for UC but weaning as it didn't work so having remicade instead which thankfully has, so i haven't gained while on prednisone but im starving all the time!

  • Make sure you are checking your nutrition to make sure you are under those goals too but otherwise stick with it, totally normal to lose alot then your body adjusts, then you will start losing again, as long as you are being totally honest and putting every mouthful in you will lose, its all a numbers game.
