I've spent a good deal of my (presently short) life trying to come up with answers to everything. Haven't gotten there yet, but I'm glad to have a place to share what I think is true, and recieve likewise. Anyway, feel free to throw questions at me (But a word to the wise, I'm not so good with relationship questions. Ask me about something more predictable then a human heart, dang it :p )

Okay, I went on this pill, and it caused me to gain 12 pounds...*sigh* I've been on it several times before, and this is the only time it's caused a weight gain.
I'm 5'4"ish and I weigh 125 pounds. I don't know if I am overweight or not, but I feel like it. The thing is, I don't look it. I look like I weigh my old weight (113), but I FEEL heavy. I felt so much better at 113. It sucks, and it's really upsetting me 'cause I've always kind of had issues with weight...my dad's obese and I was overweight in 6th grade - like, this is what I weighed then, and I was overweight. I had just gotten comfy with my body when this happened...grr...
While it's good to know that I don't look overweight and my boyfriend can still lift me with one arm, the way I feel is still upsetting.
How long does it take for water weight to...go away? Is there anything I can do to fix this? I have a good diet, and I get excercise...or do I really just have to wait it out? My doctor said when I stopped the prednisone, the weight would kind of drop off, but I don't want to wait that long. Help me out, if you can. (link)

At your weight, you're still in pretty good shape, especially if it's water weight. Feeling 'heavy' is just a result of your muscles being used to a slightly lower weight. Even if the water weight didn't fade, you'd stop feeling different over a length of time. If you keep up with the exercise, you'll get used to it even faster. Unfortunatly, I'm not sure on time, but I'd guess at about 2 months to get used to any weight that doesn't fade off.
