"i started contrave at the end of november  at 234 lbs (5&#039;4&quot; f), this morning i was at 206 lbs. so 28 lbs in 6 months. it is slow, but very consistent. every month i&#039;m down 4-5 lbs. i have always eaten healthy about 70% of the time and that hasn&#039;t changed i just eat significantly less now. i exercise about the same amount as before so i didn&#039;t up that much. i have hypo thyroid, was gaining weight even w/ fairly healthy eating and exercise so while contrave is slow, seeing the scale go down 4-5 lbs a month as opposed to the 2-3 it was going up a month is awesome. i feel way better and i like the weigh in texts in the am. wine tastes gross now so i drink way less. i was a zombie the first month and had anxiety but it was worth it"
