I have lost 4 lbs so far. This really IS Metformin as I eat as usual and walk as usual, no changes. But the splendid thing is not even the weight loss (although, if it is a true weight loss and not normal fluctuations, it is 10% of what I need to lose - better something than nothing, no?), it is the return of my normal taste. With psych drugs, I developed a taste for sweetness in tea - I simply could not have tea without sweetener. So I used Truvia (Stevia), and although it has no calories, it has carbs, so it is better to do without it. Now I am back to normal - I can drink unsweetened tea.

This is just after several days of taking Metformin. We will see if the weight loss continues or stalls.
