My weigh-in was terrible...third week on prednisone (steroid to reduce effects of pneumonia) has done nothing but make me gain. I had forgotten how it just grabs you and makes you into a voracious grazer, almost non-stop. It messes up the blood sugar, so I get shaky within two hours of eating and have to have something. The good thing is I have been craving strawberries and baby carrots which has helped somewhat, but I still have put on too much, too easily. It will go down as soon as I am done which will be next week. So it'll be like starting all over. *sigh* I don't know why anyone would want to "bulk up" on steroids...wish my docs had reminded me of its effect before i was three days into it, stuffing my face!**bg**

Still feeling much better and able to do more physical stuff.
