I got on unrelated meds and now am dropping like a stone. Was fat way before covid , covid made me extremely sedentary (105kgs). Got on new meds a month ago, then at 94kgs - I just stop being hungry when I take them. Meaning I take the pills in the morning, I’m not hungry till lunch at 2pm, I take them again around 3pm and they hold me till late evening (12pm, later) and I snack on the unhealthiest sweets in bed. I eat like shit too - burgers for lunch, KFC chicken, sometimes I treat myself to a healthy poke bowl (but that stuff’s expensive af), always order out since I suck at cooking for myself. Dropped to 91kg and holding. With this keeping up, I expect to go to 80 - 85kg which should be a healthy weight for me. So tldr, I dropped from 105kg on new meds, then dropped from 94kg to 91kg in a month because I got different meds.
I got a pullup bar and do a lap around the office if I get bored. Lost 65 pounds with minimal effort after being off medication. Other people notice before you do and its a bit of a surprise.
I had a pullup bar too when I was young, I got my back to ridiculous shape by doing a few pullups every now and then. Like people were surprised - I do pushups like a geriatric paraplegic, then go to a pullup bar and do a set of 20 with perfect form.
And yeah, people went “oh you lost a bunch of weight!” When I said “naaah I eat the same live the same”. Then I stepped on the scale and wow.

What medication?
It’s ADHD meds, ritalin basically.

I went from not able to lift my fat ass to 10 pull ups in less than a year and only crank out a few if I walk past and got energy to burn.
