    Default Lungs working great again :)

    Well, after a week of SERIOUSLY high doses of prednisone, my lungs are working fine now

    I will spend the next few days being weaned off of the prednisone, let me tell you i've been STARVING continuously since I went on these dang pills. I've ballooned up to 222 today from 217. I'm not changing my ticker...i'm gonna just get that weight back down again. It's weird though, my food intake did not go up drastically, but my hunger and weight did. Still, no matter what, breathing is better than being skinny...lol, though i'd prefer skinny!

    Now that I can breathe, tomorrow I am heading to the gym, probably won't be able to do do more than thirty minutes or so, but it's a start.

    my first goal is to get to 141pounds, that will put me in the NORMAL range bmi. My second goal is 120, which is thin and healthy.

    I'm weaning off prednisone too. I have 3 more days to go and I must tell you that I have the hunger of an ox. Omg, I could eat anything and everything in site. I gained 5lbs in a week and today I said no more! I started logging my food for the 1st time in about 8 months just to be accountable!
