I'am since September 2004 off of prednison. the weight went back to 172 pounds in April 2005. But then I got unwillingly a shot of prednison for my feet. And that' s when I gained weight back to 180 pounds. I tried everything, but nothing helps. The doctors say that I will have to live with my overweight, 'cause there's nothing they could do for me. I should diaet. I did for several months and did also exercices 3 times a day for 45 minutes, but nothing helped. And I think, that there is something very wrong with my body.

Of course I am not anymore so balloned as I was when I had 207 pounds.... But still I look unnaturally for a woman, like a boxer that is....upper arms and upper legs and of course the waist is horrible. I lost my moonface though and also my triple chin, that is true. But still people did not recognize me in my homecountry, when I did vacations there last year. But so far, the scale speaks its own language, does'nt it. And there I am still tipping a 180 pounds, instead of 115 which I had all the time of my life. That is horrible.
I am ready to see an Specialist now.
Thanks for writing me.
