Background. At the end of February I weighed 369 lbs. I was shocked, I felt miserable and depressed. At the end of March I said enough was enough, went to my doctor and asked to be treated for my ADHD and to have blood panals done. I got my meds and found out that I was anemic. My ADHD meds helped me see that my food obsession and compulsive eating was a manifestation of my ADHD. It made me feel more in control and I lost about 20 lbs by end of May. At the end of May, my anemia symptoms weren't getting better, so I started taking iron supplements. These changed my life. I've bern working out regularly since the second week of June, my activity level has doubled. And I lost 28 more lbs!
I track my calories, know I have a high calorie deficit (enough that I should be losing 2-3 lbs a week), and get exercise every day. These last two weeks I've seen very little change. I'm working so hard, eating right and nothing is happening. It feels a little hopeless.
