Re: I need to boast about my weight

Mojo,

Way to go! You should be proud! I did it a few years ago and have

kept it off since then. It was hard to be so disciplined. I hope you

feel better too - I know I did. Plus, you're probably eating better

as well.

Love,

Tana

at least.

wanted to loose. I lost 22 pounds and I am now 140 pounds and I can

fit back into all my clothes from two summers ago. I really didn't

think it was possible after all the steroids I took, but I did it. It

was hard work, but I achieved the weight I wanted. It took me since

Christmas. I'm boasting here, but what I'm also trying to say is, you

guys can do it. Do not get discouraged if for a long while you can't

loose, still try, sooner or later you will start loosing that extra

weight. Remember though it is close to impossible to do it on

prednisone, so do your best not to gain too much while you are on it.

Don't use it as an excuse to eat. The less you gain the better your

chances of loosing it when you get of prednisone. I gained 22 pounds,

and now I'm back to my old self and that makes me feel great.
