Hi Everyone. I started taking Met on 7/9/2005 and I'm up 5 or more pounds. What's going on? I wasn't trying to lose weight, but I certainly wasn't trying to GAIN weight. Give me some advice, encouragement, or something!!

Don't be discouraged, When I first started taking met I gained a little wieight at first too. I think its pretty common for that to happen but after the first couple of months I actually lost about 12 pounds. Good luck.

I'm on 1000mgs a day and I go up to 1500 Saturday. Is Met supposed to make you lose weight?

Yes, I think in most cases it does help you lose weight. I think how much depends on the person though and the dosage. I was also taking 1000 mgs and all together I lost about 15 pounds. Im not taking it right now, but Ill be on it again soon. Don't give up. It will work.

It's just frustrating. I'm see weight loss stories on Met all over this board. I don't want to gain any weight.

I just started met 500mg this past Sat. and upped to 1000mg this Wed. and I am so tired that I take both of them at night. I also feel like I have gained weight (I'm afraid to check). Do you take yours during the day? Are you tired?
i started takin it the 18th... i feel real tired when i get sleepy lol. and i dunno ... it feels like i might being getting the energy to be losing cause im not hungry at all really it's weird but my doctor said its not a weight loss drug... so dont be worried maybe when you have ur period it will make u feel super skinny lol...
love
Letisha
p.s. i hope it works for all of us!!!!

Last year I worked out 5x a week and drastically changed my diet and lost not a pound.... So I quit b/c I was unhappy and wasn't getting any results. Since January, I've been taking Met, working out 2-3 times a week, and reducing calories but not really following any WOE closely and have lost 20 pounds. There are any number of factors though for the weight loss/gain. If met is helping AF appear, you could be seeing the gain for that, if you're working out strenuously you could be experiencing muscle gain. And maybe you haven't gotten the right dosage yet. I plateaued at 1500mg and AF started to come late so I upped it to 2000mg. Now I've been steadily declining. Be sure to take any concern to your doctor and discuss it with him/her. Sometimes met doesn't work for you, sometimes you need a different brand. (Don't get me started on how awful glucophage was for me) It all depends on your body!
HTH, Kara

Janeesa- Perhaps you should try keeping a food journal. A lot of times, people eat more than usual, or things t hey shouldn't be without realizing it. There were quite a few times where i would be like, 'oh my god, why did I gain weight?' I couldn't think of any reason. But then I would go take a peek at myjournal and bel ike, 'oh yes, there it is.' Write everything down, what you eat, what you drink, etc.

Met is not supposed to make us lose weight, it's simply regulates the insulin in our bodies. Some will lose weight, but it's not used as a weight loss medication, or shouldn't.

During AF you can retain a LOT of water and actually weight 5 or 10 pounds heavier. Don't weigh yourself the week before or the week of AF. It can be quite discouraging.
I've gained 5+ pounds on Met...
