M/27/6'2 [141lbs - 170lbs = 29lbs gained] (9 weeks) ADHD medication recovery
Recovering from huge unwanted weight loss to do with my ADHD medication. I was originally around 73-74kg prior to my diagnosis and got all the way down to 64kg. I didn't realise things had gotten that bad until a friend pointed out to me that I was wasting away.
Now up at 77.3kg and I plan to keep going. Also finally started going to the gym after years of saying I would.
I've been on what I would consider to be an aggressive bulk (4,100cal/day) and a PPL/PPL gym split for a little over 9 weeks now.
This is a huge difference from the 1,200-1,500cal/day I was able to stomach beforehand.
It took me about a year to lose that weight from the medication, it was gradual and I never realised how bad it had gotten until now when I look at the before photos. Super happy with my progress so far, the gym is now a part of my day that I really look forward to.
