Default Does Met cause thin cysters to lose weight?

If you are already thin, will Metformin still cause you to lose weight?

I'm not sure if met by itself causes weight loss, but I lost 16 lbs in 3 months when I started Met and a low carb diet (became borderline underweight, but doctor wasn't concerned and I still got pregnant).

yes--it did for me. I weighed 115 when I started met, and it's been years now, but my weight is pretty much at 105-108 all the time no matter what I eat.

Yes it did for me. I have been on Met now for 3 months and have lost about 8lbs. I'm 5'7.5" (174cm) started at 124lbs and now weight about 116lbs. They have just upped my dosage but the lighter I get the lighter AF gets. This month it was just 2 days!!! What dosage are you ladies taking. I was on 1000mg a day and now they want me to take 1600 a day. Oh and I'm not IR.
