Re: OFF slimming club---open to everyone.
Hi everyone---its me, back again---just starting to feel more like my old self---cut down on the steroids--only on 5 gm a day now [was 20 mg], and now i have to slowly reduce by 1 mg every 2 or 3 weeks--and hopefully off them all together--maybe by summer. althoiugh i had friends whohave been on them 2 years !!
when I was on 20 mg a day, I was eating far too much-my hunger increased, thats what steroids do-and I did put some weight back on--between 7 and 14 pounds-could have been worse I guess. But that is all over now. But im now back at Slimming World--had to take a break foir 6 weeks---and after the first week back, i lost 4 pounds--so i was very happy with that--especially as i still am officially on steroids, and cannot walk far because of a painfiul leg--but i do not think it is related, as i pulled a muscle badly in my leg and it is taking ages to heal up--but at least now it is improving.. i hope you are all doing well, and so pleased that you have kept this thread going. when i get chance i will go back and read the posts from the time that i have missed.
My next weigh in at SW is on Tuesday--so im hoping for another good result--i feel better already, and once i get off that weight i put back on when i was ill-maybe another 2 weeks will do it, then it will be like a new start.
Catch up again when i can..
