well i’ve been losing weight but i’ve been on steroids for tooth issues so i’m not going to claim it by weighing in yet….but i really hope i have lost! i have been tracking and in a deficits and back to walking at work but i haven’t started back at the gym yet.
i wonder when i can officially claim the weight loss??? a week after i finish the pills should be good right?? my last pill was today and i took them for 7 days

Hello, Sharon! Sorry to hear you got tooth issues and wish you get well. Usually, a reason of gaining weight from taking temporary steroids is fluid retention. It means once you complete the med, the side effect would go away as well. However, if there is significant weight gain from the steroids, I want you to see your PCP. Time to check up your body functions and system.

thanks Ann - i actually am down nearly 4lbs but my mom said steroids make you lose first if you were swollen and then gain….so that’s why I was wondering if I should wait to claim actual weight loss

Oh, Sharon. I apologize my misunderstanding. It means there is no side effect with water retention. Good for you. Some people lose weight during dental treatments because of limiting food intake, but I want you to believe that you've lost weight by your effort and will. For me, no matter what kind of conditions I have, I record my weight monthly even though I daily monitor it. I support you and wish you all the best. 😄

Well I have lost according to my will and hard work because I’ve been eating my meal preps and being in a calorie deficit And walking a few miles a day

The tooth issue probably helps reduce snacking a little but that’s about it

In my experience, steroids have always made me gain while I have been taking them. Maybe you've really lost even more than you think! If you are retaining fluids from them, it should be flushed out in a couple of days. I would go ahead and record your weight anyway.
