Hey, I know how screamingly frustrating it is to gain on medications. I occasionally need to go on prednisone to manage some health issues. Usually it's a minimum 10 pound gain overnight and it always takes me a long time to lose. Also, it's not a pretty gain, either. Personally, I get upset because I worry that other…

Try to be as active as possible. In my case I lost 30 pounds in 6 weeks (nearly all my pregnancy gain) but after that I…

Hi, Also from Chicago here! I joined in 2011 but never really got into it! My kids are 4 & 6, trying to get back to my pre-baby self and then back to my pre-wedding self .... Best, Kristen
