Here I go again

[skrtsmiller]

Absolutely gutted. I've lost a stone of the 2 I gained from being on steroids and have now been put back on them. The fat collar has already started as has the distended abdomen. It's soul destroying.

I am sorry to hear that you are being put back on the meds. I hope you find a way to keep the weight gains to a minimum, and that you find some support on the forum (I have no experience of this situation, so cannot advise however)

Its maddening when something disrupts progress isn’t it, especially medical stuff but its obviously important to take care of your health. Just maybe try to continue eating the balanced nutritious meals which have helped you lose weight to help keep any gain to a minimum.

Hi Skrtsmiller, I am sorry to hear you are going through this. I can completely sympathise and empathise as I have piled the weight back on from having had covid which triggered my asthma to be uncontrolled meaning multiple high doses of steroids and hospital admissions.

What are your plans for getting back on track?

Like you exercise is difficult for me at the moment. I try to do a 1hr pilates class a week as I can stop /start / rest as I need to or even miss if its a particular bad week. I also plan to start doing 1min of very gentle cycling of my exercise bike and 5 min (if I can might lesson if too much) of very gentle stretches every day and increase as I can. I am also planning to return to calorie counting.

I look forward to going abck on this journey with you and hopefully we can help each other out.
