"male, 5-foot-7, age 41. sw 306, now 283 (23 lbs) over 10 weeks. this is an awesome experience for me--no side effects or constipation, just weight loss. i hate to sound like a commercial over here, but $90 a month is a small price to pay for feeling pretty freaking good. i&#039;m leaving food on my plate at every meal, drinking diet snapple now instead of coke (except saturdays), and am walking to work and back every day (12,000 steps/day according to the fitbit)--but i did all that before contrave and saw no results. now i finally am. it&#039;s weird to say, but i embrace that &#039;hungry&#039; feeling now, and feel that&#039;s when i&#039;m making progress; whereas before, hunger was a problem that needed to be solved. walking is easier now that i&#039;m lighter!"
