"i have always been fit, and losing those few pounds that manage to creep up on us from time to time was always fairly easy.  once i hit my 50&#039;s however, things changed.  i went to the gym, i ate well, but nothing.  in fact i gained weight when i thought i should be losing or at least stable.  thank goodness my dr suggested contrave.  it dramatically reduced my appetite, so that when i ate, i made good food choices and stuck to a reasonable portion.  and those evening snacks were a thing of the past.  the daily weighing is awesome because you can see even the smallest change.  i was not obese, but 5&#039;5 at 166 lbs was the most i&#039;d ever weighed and i was  completely uncomfortable in my own skin (and clothes!)  i am now almost 30 lbs down."
