Hi everyone: I have lost 65 pounds so far. I don't know whether this is good or not, but I have not lost any weight since before Easter. I have been off work since I fell or was tripped at work by a student on Feb. 16th. which I fractured my left humerus and injured my knee, the knee has arthritis. The Orthopedic surgeon that I have been seeing has given me two steroid injections so far and the last shot does not seem to be helping. Everything that I have read states that steroids taken orally or by injection can cause weight gain. While I can't say that I have gained weight I can't help to wonder if this is the reason that I have not been able to lose any weight. I have not been able to exercise due to my knee swelling when I have tried to walk, so I know the lack of exercise has contributed to my ability not to lose weight. Also I am still taking my liquid debetes medication, because my sugar levels are still to high to come off the meds. What I have been reading also says that steroid can interfere with debetes. If anyone knows anything about this could you please offer me some suggestions? This is getting very frustrating!!!! Rosemary

Not sure how to help...Did not have any of these problems. If no gain then you are good. The losses do stop. The body adjusts and gets happy where it is....Its hard to fight many battles with the weight loss. But keep up the good fight. Debbie
