"it&#039;s may 13 the 2017 i&#039;m in my second week of contrave, so i now take 2 pills a day i go to 3 pills for week 3.  i am a 53 yr old male, i started with a weight of 276 after 2 full weeks i&#039;m at 266. the scaledown program is absolutely great. i weigh every morning the scale sends a cellular signal through my phone to scaledown, they then send me a text to monitor my progress. they give me advise and encouragement. really beneficial. i sure hope this continues to work for me, i&#039;m really tired of hearing the words morbidly obese!! only downside is occasionally feeling nauseated, dizzy, mild headaches, but nothing i can&#039;t tolerate. and of course the cost, since my insurance will not cover the medication my cost is $90 for a month supply."
