today was supposed to be my first day on concerta....did I ruin my meds?

Hi!

I was supposed to start Concerta today and picked up my meds last night. I guess I didn't put the cap on all the way (wanted to take a peek at them haha), and they spilled all over my purse. I didn't realize, and my water bottle leaked a bit. When I grabbed my bag this morning, I noticed most of them were stuck to the bottom of the bag. Some of the pills are fine, some have some black stuff on it which I think is ink from my pen or my eyeliner (classic adhd + messy combo). Some were sticky, and it looks like the shell has eroded.

Is this safe to take? I'm assuming it's not because the shell is compromised, and I would be worried about the medication releasing all at once.

I haven't heard back from my provider (and obviously will follow their guidance and not take it if he says it's dangerous), but I was just curious in the meantime. I'm also worried because I only got 15 in this prescription, and now a lot of them are ruined, and I'm nervous my doctor won't send me more since it's my first time on meds. I was really hoping to be able to start consistently this weekend.

Any thoughts?

Adjusted to new weight and mindset went back to when i was heavier?

has anyone experienced something like this? I am 5'5 (24F) and recently lost about 70 pounds (went from 220 to 150 over about eight months) and have maintained my new weight for about 6 months now without any decrease, mainly due to reverting to normal eating habits again (aka not counting calories or working out). i felt good about the loss for a while, but now I'm starting to feel like I did when I was 220, which is that I'm huge. I'm having trouble losing more weight because I've found that by eating at maintenance for 6 months, its very hard to have a deficit that's healthy. My BMR is 1400. Does anyone have any advice to getting back to weightloss and not feeling totally discouraged because the progress has stopped? I just want to get to a healthy BMI and not be overweight, but with my grad school schedule it's really hard to find time for the gym

first BL interview

had a call back for a BL firm today, in person. I am WELL below their class rank requirement. was shocked i even got a callback.

during the interview when they were talking about what summers do, they kept saying stuff like "summer will be tasked with doing XYZ, like you are doing now at your [current internship]." any thoughts on this in terms of whether they thought i was a fit? or am i overanalyzing. met with about 6-8 people today, mostly partners and shareholders. generally thought it went well.

How to ensure a coin is authentic/ any recommendations?

Hello! Apologies if this is a stupid question.

My boyfriend loves history (literally all history! he cannot name a specific period he likes the most but really enjoys ancient history) and also really likes ancient coins. I wanted to buy him one for his birthday, but I'm concerned about buying a fake. have been looking on Ma-Shops mostly.

How can I ensure it is authentic? Do the PCGS/NCG certifications guarantee authenticity? Any insight into this process would be greatly appreciated as I am most certainly not a history buff nor a coin collector, and I don't really know where to start/find information.

Edit: I was going to look at antique shops when we are in Europe next month but i figured buying online would be better for getting something authentic?

Advice after WL has plateaued :(

Hello! I'm currently struggling to lose weight and would love some feedback on my calorie intake + workouts!

This past year I lost about 60 pounds by not doing much (grad school stress made me to forget to eat). Since then, I've varied between 155-160 pounds, and luckily have been able to maintain that when I returned to normal eating habits. However, it seems like no matter what I do I can't get the scale to budge beyond that range.

I workout every day (cardio + strength training) and will have at least one rest day or active rest day a week. I eat approx 1200-1400 calories a day and average about. 70-100 grams of protein. I have one of those fancy scales, and my body fat has stayed the same (was initially thinking it was just muscle gain). I take fiber supplements and get good sleep.

My BMR is 1,468. I am 5'5 and in my early twenties. I am also a girl.

Does anyone have any advice or any tips on what has worked for them? I would really love to lose 10 pounds by September so any feedback is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
