Hi! I'm new to the site and group and just wanted to say hello to everyone. My name is Jillian and I am basically trying to lose the last 40 lbs of this baby weight from over a year ago. My daughter just turned one on May 6th and I am done looking like a big blob (and done spending money on clothes that I will hopefully NEVER have to wear again). Oh, and I also have Crohn's, which was diagnosed when I was 14 years old (I am now 30). I have been in remission for over 10 years and just recently flared up a few months ago. I think I am getting better, but you never know with the disease, so I will keep my fingers crossed that it stays this way.
I basically went from being active and eating beyond healthy to having a baby, changing jobs (where I am gone 12+ hours a day), and having zero time for myself. I am at the heaviest I have ever been in my entire life and I just feel gross. I also just stopped breastfeeding and I am convinced that my body was holding onto the fat for added vitamins/nutrients. I gained about 50+ lbs during my pregnancy of which I lost 20 right away from water. I still have yet to lose the extra weight and then some, since my husband and I got married.
I am hoping to lose about 40-45 lbs by the end of this year and I really, really hope to at least be down 15 or so by the middle to end of summer.
I look forward to being a part of this group, losing this stubborn weight, and staying symptom free!

Hello! I'm also new and I'm glad to find another new crohnie member
If you ever need some support/someone to moan at/with, feel free to message me.
Minus the baby (although this is one of the reasons I want to lose weight/get healthy), I feel like we may be quite similar!
Good luck x 0
