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.
