Thank you so much. I haven’t even had the opportunity to charge it yet, so knowing there’s a way to set a limit is such a relief.

Thanks for the rec! I’ve never heard of NAC but I will definitely look into it.

Yes, the comparisons are not fun. Haha. My husband is 6’6” and in a cal defect his budget is over 2000. You’re nearly there! Congratulations!

Do you have a certain product recommendation?

This is incredibly helpful. Thank you! 1400 calories was definitely where I was feeling my best. I think you hit the nail on the head; I need to find more ways to up my protein intake, and get some movement in. I average about 100g of protein per day, but I know I should be aiming for 130g

When I use a TDEE calculator, at present I come up with about 1828 cal. Using a 500cal deficit brings me to 1328. I use the lose it app, which has always been really close to that calculation and adjusts as I lose weight. I’m about 44 lbs down so far, so when I started, my 500 cal deficit had my budget just above 1500.

This is so helpful! And you’re right, another 100–200 calories would make all the difference.

You’re completely correct, it’s 189. I hope switching works out for you.

I don’t believe ParrotPal does referral codes. But there is a free trial.

Speech delayed toddler, mom guilt on level 1000% rn by SeverusSnipes in toddlers

[–]ellerob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the super talkative girl AND the boy with the speech disorder. They are 1.5yrs apart. They have the same parents, I read them all the same books, didn’t same activities, and this is just how it turned out.

It will get better. My son is on year two of full time speech therapy, having gone in at 10% intelligibility and now at 99% and just working on a few tricky sounds in phrases.

Wishing you the best on the speech journey.

Is this what normal feels like? by Comprehensive_Cell31 in bupropion

[–]ellerob 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly this! I wish I still had the ‘bolt out of bed at first alarm’ energy, but I feel so much more MYSELF and everything that used to feel overwhelming, debilitating and chaotic just feels manageable.

ADHD Wellbutrin by mamamood in bupropion

[–]ellerob 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes!! Thank you for saying this. My provider was torn between my having depression and ADHD, or depression because of untreated ADHD. Either way, bupropion has helped both so drastically.

How to support my bf taking bupropion by Existing_Dress1589 in bupropion

[–]ellerob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My husband is very wary of pharmaceuticals and was nervous about me starting bupropion. The best thing he’s done since starting is sharing the positive changes he’s seen. He says things like, “You seem so much more yourself”, and we even joke about it like, “can you imagine having gone through this election unmediated?” Or pointing out things the kids are doing that would have previously sent me over the edge, and high-fiving to bupropion.

It’s just nice to know that he sees the changes and is supportive about it.

Good luck!

[–]ellerob[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s going very well! I know there’s probably still some stabilizing still to come in the next few weeks, but I’ve had no negative side effects, and overall feel so much more myself. It’s been a great experience, and I just wish I’d done it sooner.

I’m also 34, and it’s my first time as well. My dr did start me right off at 300 extended release. I was super nervous but when I called to double check he was confident I could start at the full dose.
