  • 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…

In my case I lost 30 pounds in 6 weeks (nearly all my pregnancy gain) but after that I…
