Ive been on this for 2 1/2 yrs now. I went from 232 to 112. My Dr freaked over seeing me. She thought I had cancer and was very sick. I feel great!! She wanted to know what I was doing and what do I eat? She said she never seen success like mine before. Im going on 60, I have lost huge amounts of weight in the past. 7xs I lost over 100lbs. Its very different this time. I want to enjoy it for as long as I can. The weight always came back. I hope because of this drug it wont happen. I hope this is my last time. Its very expensive to gain weight, and to lose weight. I dropped sizes so fast. I do like the low-carb way of eating. My body is much better without all the process foods. I still eat my faves, but I learned not to snack between meals. I learned what a serving is. Another big one for me was when I stopped going back for 2nds. I hope whoever is on this has great success too! Its not fun being the biggest one in the room. No matter where you are. I wish you many blessings on your way to be happy.

How do you take your metformin?
@cherisemelf475819 күн бұрын
@@latashaakins-brown1820 For me, my dr put me on 750 ER 2x a day. For me, I take one a day. She switched out this one, and gave me 500 2x a day. That extended release really made the difference. This coming January will be 3yrs ive been on it. I want my 750 ER back! I take it with my breakfast. I really believe I would gain the weight back if I stop taking it. I have issues with my blood sugar. Diabetes runs rampant in my family. Ive watched family members lose their limbs from this disease. Especially if you are a smoker. I have an Uncle right now that is about to lose his other leg. He is 69, he is a smoker and a heavy drinker. Dont be like my Uncle. If you smoke, quit NOW!! Yes he did know all about diabetes and how deadly diabetes is. I hope this helps anyone. Go talk to your Dr.

@@Cobra-gl7or It works pretty quick, I think. I was sabotaging myself, and when I made the switch of leaving sugar and everything else we love behind, I started to pay attention to my body hunger verses my head hunger. We have to do our part to get the full benefits of it. Just my opinion! It drastically cut my cravings way down. My body really likes living low-carb. I eat fruit and veggies and yes pasta!! Pasta is a treat to me, and I would say 90% of my eating is only when Im hungry verses I was eating all the time, and you know it wasnt veggies and fruit I was having a party with. (hee hee). Whatever we do to lose the weight, we have to live like that or else the weight will come back. Losing and gaining weight isnt done in private. Everybody can see what weve been doin to ourselves. I hope you all find your happy and you dont settle for less. I hope I helped many blessings to everyone. This Is Not EASY!!

I save the extras because Im afraid she may take me off of them, and I wont have it any more. I take it with my breakfast. I also dont have the horrible side affect's everyone was warning me about.

I’m on metformin for insulin resistance and high testosterone (I’m not diabetic) and let me just say. Do not diet strictly, I tried that and I was practically fainting from low blood sugar. It’s a diabetes drug so it lowers glucose and liver glucose production. You can diet in terms of eating healthy but make sure you eat a good amount when taking it.

I’m not pre-diabetic or diabetic by any stretch. But after consulting with doctors in my fam, I’ve started taking Metformin 250mg a day for staving off aging (I’m 32) and I’m already finding a slight improvement in my skin tone. It could be my family genetics where everyone looks half their actual age on average, naturally, without facial procedures, or it could be Metformin who knows!😉
