Hi whats up ladies, I'm new I'm Scottish and I love listening to music and watching DVDs, I love tattoos and piercings, I am 29 years young, I also love Taekwondo watching and playing.

I currently weigh about 280pounds my goal for now is about 217pounds
My doctor today started me on metformin one tab in morning for a week then two tabs twice daily (1000mg total) one tab in the morning and one at night with my meal.

i'm solely on this med for weight loss only and to help my cravings around my cycle time (like now) and to stop my weight from plying on and off and on and off again.

I have been on Atkins diet many times and although I've lost weight on it a lot of weight on it i can no longer take the food I've sicken myself from it.
I have also been on diet pills (xenical) that didn't agree with me one bit, so i hoping and praying metformin is my savour for lack of a better term.

anyway thanks for reading
many hugs
Malachy

Welcome! I've done the Dukan, which is very similar and had great results only to gain it all back, So frustrating! Glad you're here!
