"i started contrave on jan. 1 2017 and weighed in at 194lbs.  i talked to the doctor about it and decided to give it a try. it has now been 4 months and with exercising daily for 30 mins and eating somewhat more healthy ( i haven&#039;t changed my diet that much). i still can enjoy a juicy hamburger with my family at a restaurant. i am happy to report that i have lost 40lbs in just 4 months. this medication has been worth every penny and given me my life back to be able to enjoy my 4 kids!"
