Not losing weight with prednisone
My prednisone is now 20mg and since ive reached half of what i used to take, i thought i would start dieting to get rid of the weight ive gained.
Before taking prednisone i weighed 120lbs, in a short span of about 4 months I've gained 15lbs. So last last week i cut my calories to 1500 a day and i ran every other day. Now when i checked my weight a while ago, i went from 134.5 to 136! I am so frustrated, i know losing weight now is still kinda impossible since im still on a high dose and that it would be easier if i was taking less than 10mg.

I attribute drinking 3/4 cups of green tea a day to my weight loss. Perhaps, when you get on a lower dose or completely off of prednisone, it will be easier for you to lose weight.
thanks barbel! Will definitely give that a try :) yeah, im just waiting for at least to get to 10mg (hopefully my body can take that low dose and i wont go back to that dreadful 50mg)
