I have probably posted on here about 5 times since 2020 and I magically keep getting bigger. I am a whopping 329 lbs when last I weighed myself I was 'only' 315 lbs. Now, I've been serious, scared and motivated all before and I have went on long streaks of CICO and pockets of exercise with minimal results and of course, I fell off hard. I couldn't pry myself away from doordash and mentally couldn't bring myself to exercise. Like I would spend hours looking at my kettlebell and resistance bands, willing myself to pick them up but failed everytime.
Well surprise, surprise I might have ADHD. I haven't got an official diagnosis yet but the preliminary psychiatrist at Kaiser is pretty sure, I just have to be evaluated by their "ADHD specialist". In the meantime, I heard through the grapevine that Ozempic is the magic drug for weightloss and I asked my doctor if she would recommend it. She steered me towards metformin, I do not have diabetes or PCOS, and I been on it for 4 weeks. I started with half a pill in the morning and at night for 2 weeks, now I'm taking full pills. So far, and I don't know if it's a fluke, I lost 3 pounds. I know it's not a magic drug but I need all the help I can get, I'm so tired of being fat.
With all that being said, any tips on how to move going forward, I know CICO is important but I can't even be consistent for 2 days, not saying I'm giving up on it but it's a stuggle. I want to buy a walking pad since I mostly WFH when I get the money. Basically I want to help the metformin, since it seems to be working but I don't want it doing all the work. Any advice?
Tldr- Any advice on how to lose weight on metformin and while waiting for a potential ADHD diagnosis?
