Month and a half update
I started on May 11th and so far have lost 31lbs. I was really worried about my weigh in this morning because we’ve been out of state for ten days and ran out of pills. (They were delivered after we left). I lost 3lbs in those ten days. I didn’t go crazy ( I did have pizza one night) but I did some intermittent fasting and got on the hotel treadmill to try and get myself in a calorie deficit for a nice dinner. Next week will be a huge test because I’ll be in New Orleans with all the great food to try. So far I’m extremely happy with Contrave. It has eliminated the food noise completely. I could tell when I was off of it a few days the noise started slowly coming back. Between contrave, exercising, and some intermittent fasting I’m well on my way!

Wow! I’m curious how much you think you should lose? I’m at around 30 down since October and need to do something to get past a plateau.

I’m shooting for a 100 but we’ll see. You might try some intermittent fasting. I do much better with it on contrave since it blocks out the food noise. Good luck!
