Hi, just remember Metformin is not a weight loss drug and I found that taking it alone did not help me to loose weight, I have been following a strict Low carb diet (not more than 25grams aday) and with that have managed to loose 40lbs. One thing you need to remember is muscle weighs more than fat so that might be why your weight loss is slow... what eating plan did dr gluecks dietician advise you on....

Kindest regards Nikki
