I think when we can't see results straight away we feel like giving up. I was trying to lose weight when I was still taking large amounts of steroids. I gained weight. Give it a bit, lose five or ten pounds more and you might feel a bit more motivated.

I am going to mildly disagree with the others. I stopped eating anything processed years ago (like 15 years ago) I went from a size 18 to a size 14 with very little effort. Then I started working out and I went to a size 4. I still don't eat processed food. I gained 30 pounds on medical steroids that did my illness no…

All of the time. I gained 30 pounds due to medical steroids. They did no good, but they managed to pack the pounds on me. I'm not used to the extra weight and all of my clothes are tight. I can go buy new clothes or I can get back to being comfortable and "normal". The only thing that keeps me trying and restarting and…

That's a significant loss! Congratulations! For a man who's 5'9" 72 kg seems to be a bit small. I would get to your goal of 80 kg and see how you feel. I feel that sometimes the suggested weight is low and I don't know if those who make the charts are counting on muscle gain or not. at 72kg you would have to have very…

Yeppherss. I called it the DP shot and that caused an increase of 20 pounds with me. I lost it when I stopped, but the pill made it difficult for ME to lose weight and I dropped weight when I went off, too. Artificial hormones will have different effects with different people. Mine was a difficulty losing weight and weight…

I'm not sure that the trainer has made a correct statement. I would encourage you to have a look at the side effects of all drugs. You know that pamphlet that comes with the rx that no one reads. I think each person is effected differently so a generalization about this is probably not correct. Most artificial hormones has…

Thanks for the nice words! Wow! You've got some real progress there! Congrats! Glad you're feeling good too!

I stopped taking them in November. Then I went back in and they (ENT) deafened me in the left ear and I was sick until the first part of Feb. I won't take them again, no matter what.

It only took three weeks of high dose steroids to gain this type of weight. I've been told that others can reach over 20 pounds in a week of the same dose. One day I was sitting at my computer at work and I was a size 6, by the end of the week I couldn't get into a 10. It was unbelievable. I could understand if I gained…

Your weight loss is impressive. I remember how much of a challenge it was to loose that first 50. I am always bewildered at people saying that they can't stick to Adkins. I had no problem, even in restaurants. My going out-I don't-mind-what-I'd eat, even was pretty close to the original diet. Believe it or not, prior to…

Thanks Ladies! I appreciate your input. Momma2azoo, I'm very sorry for your accident! Vertigo is an horrid thing! I oft time wonder if this Meinere's was added by an accident that I had when I was expecting. I was rear ended at 55 miles an hour whilst sitting still at a stop light. The only thing that saved me was that I…

Thanks.... I can't change the age either...that's wrong too. Anywho, my food diary and exercise diary isn't entirely up to date. But the general idea is there. The last couple of days is correct, I believe today especially BTW I don't have that violent vertigo any longer since they deafened me. I'm confused because I…

Chasetwins, I'll open up my stuff. Just let me figure out how...
