I used to weigh 250 pounds. Was doing really good but had a major set back when my Mother whom I'd taken care of at home for 6 years passed away. I gained some weight back getting to over 200 pounds. Went to my Dr. and resorted to using contrave. Although I did lose weight I'm tired of being a slave to the insurance company and my Dr. I have diabetes but my A1c has gone down to normal range and has been that way for a year. I'm ready to do this like I originally did, with healthy eating and exercise. Right now it's all about me and doing what's right for me. Fortunately I have a great husband and son who are both very supportive.
