Metformin pcos weight loss success stories
After I got married (and our eating habits only changed for the better) and shortly before marriage, I started putting on the pounds. The only symptom I never experienced (until recently) was weight gain. Ohh small plates really help to control portion sizes. When I started I was under the impression it would be fairly quick, but my doctor warned me it would be six months to a year, and I think that was a fair warning. What really helped me was that I took out the high calorie foods and drinks ie: Starbucks and all pop. To me, the more effective weight loss part of Metformin is the way it curbed my sugar and carb eating. Fertility or Infertility is a very sensitive and personal matter.

I guess my main question is are there ANY success stories out there of women losing weight with PCOS and taking metformin. I am frustrated because I hate the way I feel being this large. All I have been told so far is I have to lose the weight, but I am exercising and eating right and I see nothing. I want so bad to start our family, but if I am this uncomfortable being my weight now, I fear how I will feel being pregnant. My highest weight in high school was no more that 110lbs. Anyhow I eat the same food but very little portions. So in a roundabout way, it has helped me lose weight, I guess, but not in the way I thought it would. I believe I have had it since I started having periods since I had many of the symptoms. You may find the answers to your questions, but if not, feel free to ask.
