Day 1 (yesterday)
I took my first dose of Contrave yesterday the moment I picked it up from the pharmacy.
First a little about myself. I am a 32 year old mother of 4 and have been overweight most of my adulthood. I have tried diets and exercise programs, probably the most successful for me was P90X. That was years ago and I have packed on 60 pounds over three pregnancies since then. My stats:
Weight: 187.8 (I will post before pictures tomorrow)
Chest: 47
Arms: 13.25
Waist: 44
Hips: 47
Thighs: 22
Height: 5'4"
So yesterday was day one and I started off at 1 pill once a day, I will move up to 2 a day next week. I did not have any side effects other than being a little more tired than I normally am in the evening. The pharmacist warned me that might happen so I was prepared.
Day 2
I took the pills first thing in the morning and didn't seem to have any side effects. I did have more energy than I normally do in the mornings and even cleaned the kitchen after making breakfast for the kids. (That's unusual for me) Not a Morning Person!!
I didn't seem to be hungry at all today and only ate a few bites of the kids' cream of wheat at breakfast, and some movie theater popcorn for lunch (I know not a healthy option). For dinner we had tuna noodle casserole with extra veggies.
Today is Saturday and starting Monday I plan to start P90X again I know that some of you only want to know how much weight loss to expect on Contrave without diet and exercise and I apologize for that, For me I know that I need to create a healthier lifestyle after I am done taking Contrave so, no time like the present!
Today I weighed in at 186.2, its -1.2 pounds in one day (probably just water weight but hey I'll take it)
The Scale Down program that comes with the Contrave prescription has not sent me an email link for the free scale and from what I could find on the internet it can take a few weeks to process so I"ll keep you posted on that as well.
