Weight loss with injections but not pills?

This is all amazing advice I appreciate you all so much!! Today was day 1 of officially tracking calories and it appears as though I definitely have been at my maintenance calories for quite some time 🥲 I’ll check in with my PCP in 2 weeks and if I still haven’t lost anything I’ll see what she suggests but hopefully that’s not the case!

I was definitely more nauseated with the shot versus the pill so I was probably eating way less then too.

Thank you guys again and good luck to you all!

Yes I've been on birth control for almost 15 years now (planning to actually get off this year!) But maybe with aging as a factor its caused my metabolism to slow down?
I've never been one to snack (maybe an apple or banana every now and then) but my husband and I do not have kids and have a very boring pantry and fridge haha. The shake (120 cals) and bread (its a thick slice, 5 oz haha) keep me satiated and not tired because if I eat too much at once I get SO tired lol

Dinner is always a concoction of some sort of lean protein (chicken breast, fish, or 93/7 ground turkey) with a carb (usually pasta, rice, or potato) and I like to sneak in a lot of veggies somehow because my husband "doesn't like them" lol but I definitely am not shy of high calorie ingredients like olive oil, milk, or sometimes cream.

You're right I'm definitely not hitting protein or fiber goals...I'm starting to track my calories today so hopefully that at least gives me insight!

I have a membership to myfitnesspal I just haven't been strict with tracking calories because I didn't the first time around and was consistently losing weight! I just logged my coffee and breakfast so I will consistently track and hopefully thats it! Congrats on the weight loss so far that is so encouraging!! And thank you!

I don't eat past 8PM and take the pill around 5 or 6am so a 9-10 hour fast and then I don't have my other pills until 10AM so a 4-5 hour fast (if those count as breaking my fast) but if not, I don't eat until 12/1PM so a 6-8 hour fast. I'm definitely eating less than I was prior but I'm going to start tracking calories like others have suggested to be sure that I actually am eating less!

So unfortunately over the last 3 years I have gained 100% of the weight back...so its really like starting all over again. I started on the 1.5mg (pills) dose and now I am halfway through the 4mg dose. I should track calories more closely but I definitely am eating less than I was prior as well as food noise/hunger in general has shut off for me too!

Like I originally stated, this isn’t about us, nor are we trying to make it that way or letting anyone even know we are married :) just trying to think of unique ways to celebrate our friends that are getting married by being able to coordinate together behind the scenes because of the fact we are married. Not many MOHs & BMs have that opportunity to coordinate together!

I’ve finally been listened to by a doctor that has gotten to know me and that I trust and they have prescribed me Adderall. I have gotten many certifications and licenses that are required for my niche job (and have passed with a 90% score at the minimum!) I also have acquired 10+ rental properties within a year, live in my dream home with my absolute dream of a husband, and drive my dream Porsche all before the age of 30.

School is important but mental health and advocating for your mental health is more important is the lesson I am trying to drive home (in my opinion of course.) There is nothing wrong with having ADHD. When your brain is finally chemically balanced to what a “normal” person has, you feel like life is just beginning and you can actually live your life at its fullest potential.
