"update: started week 3 a few days ago. i started at 215lb now at 207lb! no side affects besides constipation, but i take a stool softener everyday and have been able to over come that. have been watching what i eat but not crazy strict by all means. i eat way way less, i do not go back for seconds. i don&#039;t even finish what i put on my plate. i don&#039;t snack at all, from this stand point i would have to say contrave was a good choice to make, i wasn&#039;t really sure about it because of all the reviews and the awful side effects but i don&#039;t have any."
