"i&#039;ve lost over 25 lbs! i started out at 197.6 today i&#039;m at 172.0. i&#039;m using the scale down program at the same time and it really helps me correlate my choices with what i see on the scale the next morning. what contrave has done for me is taken the high away from eating. i don&#039;t crave that feeling of being stuffed, and i also don&#039;t think about food 24/7 any more. when i eat, i eat for fuel not for pleasure, it&#039;s just a different mind set. it is really like a weight that has been on my shoulders for almost all my life has been lifted. i also have found it much easier to stick to an exercise routine. only downside i&#039;ve noticed is constipation."
