belrose: Thank you for the suggestions - I've actually taken chromium and cinnamon in the past, as well as Metformin. I think I'm one of the rare people who only had any side effects caused by the Met when I ate certain things (oatmeal was the main one). Otherwise it never upset my stomach or caused any other problems unless I took it and didn't eat right away.
I want to give it another shot (and feel comfortable doing so) just to see if I get better results (last time it helped me maintain and stop gaining) now that I'm focusing on diet and exercise, along with taking my current supplements. If I notice that I'm feeling worse or gaining weight, I'll definitely be speaking with my doctor about alternatives.
