Hi all, I have begun taking a new (to me) medication and need to keep my weight under control. The medication causes a disturbed carb metabolism and could promote diabetes..and I may be taking it for quite a while (it's for chronic connective tissue disease) I chose WW because it seems to be the most sensible and I have seen co-workers experience great success with it. I really LOVE the fact that anything can be an acceptable food, as long as the points are counted..and WW emphasizes balance and variety.
I am hoping to lose about 12 pounds, and maintain the loss....I am not greatly overweight but the medication (prednisone) may hinder my progress. Anyone here have experience with taking Prednisone? TIA, Teresa
haven't taken it but it was offered to my father and he refused it. One thing is that even if you lose little or not at all, when/if you come off of it you will haven been eating healthy and this will set up a great environment for your eventual losses. If I were qualified to give you advice I would say, go for it and follow everything but if you just don't gain, with this med you are winning, I wish you the best of luck, please keep us posted, Lee Thotful560 <[email hidden]> wrote in message "]news:[email hidden]...

Welcome Teresa. My mother and aunt both have taken it and had weight gain. Don't think they tried to watch their weight though. I think you're wise to and to do it with WW. Good luck. -- WatchingWorks 190/168/130 Drop some weight to reply "Thotful560" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:20031229215723.26331.00001715@mb- m15.aol.com...
