"i had two babies back to back.  i started at 136lbs. i&#039;m 5&#039;5&quot; . when i delivered i was 200lbs. breastfeeding didn&#039;t help. i was walking everyday and staying active. no weight loss. a year later i got pregnant again and gained another 25 pounds.  that made me 90 pounds more than i was pre-pregnany. absolutely nothing worked. i couldn&#039;t even shed a pound. at my 6 week dr visit i actually managed to gain another 10 pounds. i breastfed my 2nd baby for 8 months and decided its enough. i had to lose the weight. mind you, i was walking, staying active, eating right and yet nothing seemed to help. my dr suggested i stop nursing and get on contrave. best, best, best decision ever!!!!! in 3 months i have already lost over 30 pounds and feel great!"
