Lilacmoon-

I was thrilled that I lost weight from the glucophage (same as met) and am still very happy. I always found it really tough to lose even a couple pounds and gained weight just by looking at something yummy. The glucophage has worked like a charm. My weight has leveled off at this point and I don't feel as if I'm still losing. I can eat normal things without gaining weight like I used to. I still watch what I'm eating because I don't want to have unhealthy foods. I feel good now about the weight issue. I feel a little self-conscious because my upper body is a little masculine looking -- something I've read about in clinical trials as happening to women who suffer from PCOS -- but other than that I can't complain. That seems to be one symptom I've gotten a hold on.
