Hello Everyone,

I'm new to myfitnesspal! I was diagnosed with crohns disease almost 5 years ago and I quite literally doubled my weight. It is horrible. I start to lose weight and do amazing then get put on tons of medications and steroids. I am finally putting my foot down and making a "NO EXCUSE" policy! I've been going to the YMCA quite frequently to kick off my weight loss. I have so much to lose! The therapy pool there has been an excellent friend of mine. I'm looking to meet new people with similiar goals as me who wouldn't mind working out and becoming a good support system.

I am 28 years old and have a long life ahead of me hopefully! I have three amazing children and I've been married to my husband for over 10 years now. I'm looking forward to rediscovering me and becoming the amazing person that I once was.

I miss being as active as I used to be but physically can't do all of the stuff I used to. I was a paintball addict, played basketball, softball, tennis. I can't wait until I can do these activities for hours at a time like I used to.

Looking forward to meeting new people!
Amanda
