"in mid june 2015, i started leaning up my diet. i have pcos and have been very overweight since i was a young adult, over 100lbs. so fast forward to june 2015, i&#039;m now 38. i weighed 284lbs. holy god! i&#039;m only 5ft tall! 
 i started the ketogenic or ketosis diet. high fat, low carb= zero results. then in august i saw the doc &amp; started on contrave 8/22/15. i lost 10lbs the 1st. month. sept-oct was only 5lbs. it&#039;s gradual but w/pcos, it&#039;s next to impossible. i use scale down. it can make you anxious weighing. my doc&#039;s big picture, even 5lbs/mo. is still a loss. there are long plateaus &amp; weight gainin some days, but then you lose a couple lbs &amp; it does work. i haven&#039;t had pasta/bread/soda/rice/chips/cookies/candy since june, no more addiction."
