Hey there, keep your chin up, it seems like the weight loss works for some and not for others. I've been on met for a lil over 3 months (lost track so far) and I'm not trying to concieve (had tubes tied and burned) but after I got past the sick off the meds, and you may get past that, it got my system straight, lost 17lbs in first 2 1/2 months but I know I'm still losing and it has made me feel younger and helped with reducing head aches, assisted in more alertness, more energy, cleared skin, I get periods now (although not a concern for you) and my appetite is much lower although I eat a little constantly to keep from the sick part and am not real good with strict dieting. You may find some foods don't agree with met, I found out that Ice Tea makes me have the trots all day long if just one glass (kinda strange). I started at 1000mgs, moved to 1500mgs a few weeks later and now 2000mgs. I really didnt see results until after I hit 1500mgs. Keep your chin up and watch what ya eat and hopefully the results will be there. E-mail me if you like.

Take Care, Jodi
