You do look great. Concentrate more on how you feel rather than how you look.
After two years, I am still going through what you describe. I knew I had gained weight but didn't see the full picture until I saw a "picture" of me. OMG! I was in tears for weeks. I just decided then that as long as I was feeling ok I wouldn't worry about it. It's not easy.
Sorry to hear you are having such a time with Imuran. When I was switched from Cytoxin to Imuran, I was started on 150 mg and I think at the time I was around 30mg Pred but I didn't have any problems. It wasn't until I was switched to Metotrexate that I experienced more problems.
For the past month I have been doing Nintendo Wii Fit. I still haven't lost enough weight to brag about but I find I am getting stronger and my balance is better.
I'm certain you will find a way to cope. You sound like a strong person. I wish you the best.
