Default If you lost weight on Met, how long did it take to start happening?

I started 750mg on August 12th for one week then doubled it to 1500mg.

Would you say that more people do lose weight on Met than do not? If you lost weight, did it start right away or did you have to be on it for a while before anything happened?

I have another 15 lbs to go and I was hoping the Met would help with that. I'm going to the gym regularly and still pretty strict on South Beach, but the weight loss seems to go slower and slower every week.

I've been on Met for 3 weeks now, and so far I've lost 9 lbs. I'm pretty pleased. I try to exercise often, but not often enough! In general, I watch what I eat to avoid carbs & sugar...but I don't stick to it 100%.
