Hi, I am currently on steroids for Crohn's and it has caused me to gain a lot of weight and retain water. I will be cycling off them in a couple months but my anniversay is coming up and I don't want to be this weight when it comes. Does anyone have experience with this and any advice on how to lose the weight while still taking steroids? Thank you for any help.

I have no idea what Crohns is and as such, I would suggest you ask your doctor who prescribed the steroids for your condition.
Crohn's disease is an inflammatory bowel disease that causes among other things, malabsorption of food and nutrients, diarrhea, rectal bleeding, weight loss, abdominal pain, skin and eye problems, etc.
usually the weight will come off within a few weeks. You will see a drop the first week off then steady weight loss. It does come off. Its all water and junk in your cells from the steriod. Best to resume moderate cardio activity while off the drugs. Dont stress it comes off!!

Refrain from using salt as much as you possibly can and be careful what you buy! I would've never expected sodium in raw chicken!
And quite frankly, gaining weight is hardly the biggest problem...
There is a lot of info and personal stories online if you google it.
