Metformin 500mg
I agree! I LOVE METFORMIN! Don't get me wrong--I hated it the first month. I've lost ~10 lbs in the last 3 months. I am so suprised by the number of compliments I get from people I've known for awhile. I feel like it's helped me regain some femininity!

Me too! I have been on it for less than a week. Granted, I am only on 500mg, but the ENERGY has come roaring back to me. The scale is already moving in the right direction. I dont have the craving to eat all day anymore. I actually have to remind myself to eat during the day. What?!?!?!
My answer may change when the Endo decides to bump up my dose though, lol.

whoooooooo hoooooooooooo, I totally agree with you all. I have been on it just over 4 weeks and I have lost 16lb.
Its my miracle drug, I love the stuff, I have great energy, no more tiredness, moodiness, bouts of depression, its all gone. NO MORE PMT EITHER. I am a new woman. I am 35 and have been trying for years for a doctor/hospital to sort me out only to be laughed at time and time again.
I had to beg my GP a month ago, I think she finally saw the despair in my face, plus the fact everytime I went into her I looked like I had not slept in months. I just looked pure exhausted all the time.
My main reason for going on it was my constant craving for sugar/carbs. I had to be eating every 2 hours, I just could not stop. Now I eat 3 healthy meals and ALL CRAVINGS ARE GONE
I actually have to remind myself to eat during the day. What?!?!?!
ME TOO!
Its just amazing that this one little pill(IM on 500mg also) can change the way your body feels about food/ change moods

Metformin 500mg
Can i please interupt this post..... I have just started taking Metformin 500mg (one a day).. started Friday last week. I had a few dramas on the first day or two, i had a little bit of the runs (sorry tmi)... but i think i am over that now...(hopefully) fingers crossed i get the same results of weight lose as you guys. As that is the sole reason i was put on Metformin... to lose weight.
I have noticed in the few days i have started that i don't eat.. i have to remind myself to have lunch and tea etc... never had that before.
Fingers crossed for some noticable weight lose soon, as i want to try for babies at the end of the year, and i would really like to loose about 30-40kgs (absoulte dream goal)
thanks for that MiniGidget... how long have you been on Metformin? and can i ask how much weight you have lost on it?.... ill remember not to forget a dose too... I haven't been too bad so far with side effects. fingers crossed.
I've been on it since the middle of April. I've lost 10-15ish pounds. It's coming off slowly, but I think it'll stay off better that way. Even better is that my cravings are GONE. I don't crave sugar, dessert, etc. I am eating smaller meals. And...this might sound crazy....but I feel like my features have regained some feminity. I know my facial features look like I used to. People tell me I'm "glowing" and "look beautiful" all the time now--which I really think is the met and the improved insulin/glucose levels. The only other change I've made is to cut caffeine out of my diet. I haven't started exercising yet...but that's coming soon. I really hope it works for you.

I've also had a good experience with Metformin too. I wondered if I would at all, since I'm only on 850mg daily and I've read here that 1500 is the best dose to be on. I have had a decrease in cravings, and have finally gotten the motivation and energy to work out! I joined a gym and have gone 12 of the last 14 days since I joined. I have missed a couple days, and sure enough, those afternoons I'm crabby and extremely tired, and have that 'sugar slump' that used to be my life.

I have noticed the increase in energy over the last couple of days and i haven't had any side effects which is good. I don't know if this is from the Met but i have noticed i am not as bloated or retaining water. I feel skinny...lol i know i have quite a few kilos (pounds) to loose but i am feeling better about the who thing considering the unpleasant way i was asked to take the tablets...
OH Metformin where have you been all my life
