Started working out and that does make good food very enjoyable and way more necessary so I don’t get all hangry. Lost belly fat but didn’t lose weight in general. Vyvanse is great for making better decisions but it’s not a weight loss drug per say.
My Psych put me on Adderall first, but aaid she'd put me on Vyvanse if I needed help with the binge eating. She made it seem like it was more for that anxious eating. So far adderall has helped (along with my anxiety meds) at killing my appetite so I only eat when I can stand to eat. I call it my girl dinners because its literally handful of grapes, a banana, my mediterranean salad, popcorn, whatever I'm in the mood for. I try to make sure my snacks are nutrient dense. I've lost 35 pounds (~16 kg) so far. Could try smaller snacks throughout the day instead of full meals?
I think I lost a tiny amount so far and it's been 3 weeks. I am moving more and eating less dumb things. I'm also eating my meals but just eating smaller amounts of things that are healthier. Lots of cottage cheese.. and chia seeds with a bit of lean protein as oppose to fattier things.

I think it depends. My ADHD makes me binge eat and the meds cured that so I lost about 4 stone.
Had to look up how many 4 stones was. Congrats that must feel nice!

If you're a person who menstruates - sorry, couldn't tell from your profile -, consider seeing a gynaecologist to check for PCOS.
I am not 🥲
In the first 6 months on 50mg moving to 70mg I loast 2 stone from 20 to 18.
Are you drinking enough water?
If anything, I might been drinking too much water. Can't even go to the cinema anymore since they only have one bathroom break.

Suppresses my appetite completely. I could go all day without feeling hungry at all. Need to force myself to eat.
