I just wanted to drop by and introduce myself. My name is Krysta and I am a 27 yr old RN working on shedding the rest of the weight I put on while being on prednisone for a couple years. Honestly I had never had a problem with weight before that, but it caused me to gain 100lb. I have since stopped taking it and am on another amazing medication for my illness and am in remission! Anyway, I have lost a bunch of weight by just going off of the meds, but it seems as though the last 40-50lb is harder to get rid of. I hope to find support here on this forum. Nice meeting you all!
Prednisone is a bugger for weight gain. I'm glad you were able to get off it, and so glad to hear you're in remission from your illness!
Please post wherever you feel comfortable.
Glad you are here Krysta!
Way to go on your weight loss so far.
Hope you find this site as inspirational, supportive and informative as
I have so far.
Looking forward to seeing your posts.
