Hi Cindy-

My understanding is that Met often has as a side effect of weight loss - since it is a side effect, not everyone will experience this. It is not intended for weight loss...

I know its frustrating - I have been on met for 4 months (500mg a day) and didn't lose anything either in spite of a rigid exercise schedule. I just upgraded to 1000 mg a day and am waiting to see if it makes any difference.

Lori
