Over a year after starting I can definately say that Met has not made even the slightest difference in my weight.
I have read many women's success stories here so I know that many women have lost weight but I am obviously not one of them.
I started on Metformin December 1st 2004 and have lost 20 pounds I also started curves at the same time and along with the 20 pounds I have also lost 13 inches.
I have taken metformin before stopped for about a year and a half and I am now back on for about 5 weeks and I have noticed I have lost at least about 10 pounds already and it is noticable. You can not just take this not change your eating habits and not excercise and expect to see a change it helps you to loose the weight along with excercise and eating correctly. I have not really started to excercise at all because between working full time and school full time and a husband and 3 puppies I really dont have the time but when the summer comes I plan on incorporating excercise with eating better to loose all the weight. The doctor said 15 pounds I want to loose about 20 or 25 for the weight the will come back, so I can balance it out. I stopped eating so much junk and started to pay attention to carbs and sugar.

I have lost 15 pounds since January. It hasn't been just the Met alone though. I eat right (about 1200 calories a day balanced for my diabetes) and I exercise 3-60min 3-5 times a week. It's been alot of work, but I think the Met has definately helped.

I haven't lost any *more* weight on Gluc, but I'm only on 750 mg XR. I lost 40 pounds on spiro-only before the Gluc and 8 sizes, but it made AF wild. However, gluc didn't make me gain weight either. I have been on IR diet almost 3 years, exercise 2 years, spiro 1 year, gluc 3 cycles (about 2 months).
