Hi, I'm Callie.
Hi, I'm Callie and I'm 19 years old. I currently weigh 151 pounds and I'm 5'3'' but I gained 50 pounds from Prednisone. I took it for a year and it's horrible. I took prednisone because I don't make any hormones at all. In May, I got onto a bioidentical hormone called hydrocortisone and it doesn't give me the bad side affects like prednisone did. So, I have to take around 7 pills a day, sometimes more. It also gave me cataracts and stretch marks (from the weight gain). Before taking it, I weighed about 105. I'm trying to lose some of my weight. I know I'm probably never gonna get back down to my previous weight but I want to lose some of it. Most of my weight is in my stomach area. Some days I just get so depressed because of it. I do cycle almost every day for about 30-45 minutes at least, I walk everyday, and the treadmill. My legs are also very muscular which is not helping my reading on the scales. I hardly eat fast food and I do eat fruits and vegetables every day. I also don't drink soda. Anyways, I just wanted to post my intro and hopefully I'll lose some weight...I don't know if I'm overreacting because my friends and family say I'm not fat.. but, I do think I'm overweight.
