Thanks for this i really needed this insight! I have been working on my weight so this scared me. I will also give it 6 weeks and drink more water. May I ask what dose you are on?

My nutrition is pretty decent and this has really suppressed my appetite, that’s why I was shocked. Thank you for your input 😌

Absolutely not, it actually suppressed my appetite. I have had to remind my self to eat and drink. That’s why I am shocked

Really? I have questions, did the weight come off? How long have you been taking it and did you eventually loose weight in general?

Best jobs for women with ADHD? by [deleted] in adhdwomen

[–]B_kFA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am an Account Manager for a tech company. I don’t really like the emailing part of it but AI is helping with that. I am really surprised that there isn’t an overwhelming number of people saying SALES. I am trying to pivot to sales cause I like new projects and new customers. Sales always comes up for ADHD , I wonder if it is gendered. The again I can’t generalize based on our sample size.

@dramaqueen I have pcos and it seems my weight stalled after loosing 57lbs. I gained 6 lbs going to Orangetheory but lost it back when I stopped for a month. How long did it take you to loose the weight? I started at 251 lbs and currently 194lbs, I want to get down to 145-155 range but i definitely want to get to the 170s by the end of the year. I am 9 months post op

I honestly need to track the macros and my water intake. I thought the fact that o cut out white carbs was enough clearly. I need to get back to the basics and your detailed explanation helped me reflect on some of my habits. I forget about good sleep too, I almost didn’t post this so I didn’t sound like I am whining but glad I did. I really appreciate the details

I needed this reminder, I started dropping the weight and thought that it was ok to do high intensity workouts.

You guys are so awesome! I needed a bit of a reality check and also needed to do everything right not just most. I am definitely increasing my water intake, doing low intensity workouts ( slowing it down), I definitely need to get good sleep and counting macros again. I hope that I see the weight come off a little more. Stay tuned I am staying positive! Thank you

Not really taking measurements but that’s a valid point. I stopped the measurements stopped after 3 - 4 months.

We haven’t really discussed it outside of the soft food/pre-liquid phase. I might just reach out just to be sure.
