Inhaled Steroids

I would like to know if inhaled steroids have anything to do with weight gain,or if they make it harder to lose weight.

Inhaled steroids generally don't make it systemically (via your blood) into your system. Unless you are taking very high dosages (greater then 1600 ug/day), as there may be enough that lands on your throat and gets absorbed there into your body. Oral steroids will certainly affect your weight as it causes excessive hunger and water retention.
