I have Crohn's disease which flares up about 2-3x a year. It's not uncommon for me to lose 20-50 lbs at a crack because of it. I try to keep a few extra lbs on...I'd hate to be already "thin" and go through a session of it.

I'm 6'2" and weigh about 245...but have weighed as little as 160 during a severe bout that included surgery. I looked like a refugee.

I used to powerlift back in the day and still try to maintain some muscle, but as I get older (42 now) I do much more toning and wayyyyyy less mass producing.

Good luck with your diets folks!
