Most Weight lost

Just a little side note speaking of water weight. I used to have a friend who was constantly on a diet....went to TOPS, Weight Watchers etc etc. She admitted to me that she would not even have a bath prior to her weigh in, claimed all that bath water just soaked right in and made her heavier. LOL

before I was hit with CD I went from 225 to about 175....losing 15 lbs in one week at one point.  iwas in the best shape of my life keeping my body fat down around 10 to 12 %.  Then I was dx'd and started on Tysabri, this brought my weight up to 275...but I was not working out much so much of it was fat...maybe 18 to 20 %.   Go off the tysabri and drop down to 170.  165 has been my lowest.  I am now on Humira and my weight has ballooned back up to 175.

So my net loss as of right now is about 100 pounds

I was 8 years old when forst diagnosed. I dont recall what my weight was prior to falling ill. I do know that I was wearing kinds size 8 at the time. I went down to 38 pounds then went up to 75 pounds from pred weight. I went from a kids size 8 at my healthy weight b4 DX then in a woman's M (6-8) from the weight gain from pred. I have stretch marks like crazy.

I am only 4 feet 9.5 inches tall I didnt weigh over 90 pounds until I turned 18 and met my first husband. I had flares on and off and went up to 131.5 I was also on Paxil at the time. I was seeing a RA doc out here before and she was the one treating my cd related arthritis and she had the nerve to tell me dont get fat on me now. I informed her it was from the PAxil she swore she never heard of anyone gaining weight on it....well then why had all of my other docs heard of it. Eventually I went off of the Paxil and was cutting down on imuran at the same time on my own accord since my ex husband with his bi polar either quit jobs all the time or got fired depending...so no money etc. I went donw to 103 and that is pretty much my norm.

I got remarried in 2005 and not long after did that 103 mark go away I went up to 108 and stayed there then in August 2006 I began flaring after a year of remission. I was on pred and off on and off basically I went up to 118 pounds from the pred. then when all heck broke loose this year with surgeries and meds I went up to 140 pounds from the prednisone and IV fluids. When I began walking after the 2 surgeries when my weight was that much I asked for a walker to lean on and my feet were on the outsides of the "legs" of the walker and my thighs were still rubbing together.

I went down to 108 before my reversal of my ostomy then up and down between 97 and 106...or so one docs scale said 106 but my other docs agreed with mine just 2 days earlier being 99 so who knows and he has 3 offices he works out of as well. My weight according to my scale as of yesterday was 96 that was before this colonoscopy prep that I have been doing today.

Saw my doc yesterday am up to 117 ....yahooooooooooo
