Crohns, Alcohol, Diet, over weight want to Loose 50 lbs

Options
Hi All, I decided to give up Alcohol first that accounted for nearly 1000 calories a day...... then Food ... If I eat what is my limit I will be eating more than I usually do by far .... So far I have lost about 5lbs in a week and that is eating 1000 calories less than the recommended. To eat more seems crazy that would make me put on weight ! + I have Crohn's Disease I was 248/9 lbs 2 weeks ago ..... and I walk with the dogs 2 to 5 miles a day always have..... Winter is 2 miles.... What would help ? I am 61 very active but I want to fly my glider this year and get rid of the Visceral fat round my middle ... + being Crohns I expand there by inches when I have a food that disagrees with me. Ideas? Help? Other Crohns suffers. ( not all of us are Skinny )
