Guess the weight competition!

For those of you who don't know my medical history I suffer from a condition called minimal loss nephrotic syndrome. Basically my kidneys leak but thankfully it only happens periodically!
Anyway there are these quality steriods that sort me right out but one of the main side effects is weight gain. I thought it could be my latest competition for you to guess how much weight I put on while I'm taking them.

Just so you have some idea of the magnitude of weight gain I've had this treatment twice before. The first time I took 80mg daily and put on 2 stone in 4 weeks! The second time I put on 1 stone 3Ib's. This time I'm on 40 mg again and my current weight is 73kg (roughly 11.5stone)

The competition is to guess how fat will Tim get?

I'll except kg's, stone!

Go

    I seem to recall first time that a symptom was your feet swelling; is that where your kidneys are leaking to? If you shake your feet do they go shloop, shloop

    Yes Liz you are correct apart from the shloop, shloop. Strangely though I only have one fat foot at the moment.

    As for you Josie you've never invited me to visit!

    My guess is that you'll put on 1.5 stones. And i echoe Tim Tudor's hope that they will get fixed this time
