Worked hard but didn't have the result and motivation seems gone

Hey everybody. I'm in a slow process about one year. I've just lost about 1 kg (2,2 lbs) per month, for this reason I started move more about 10 days, I really burned many calories (300-750 cal), and deficit calories however I just lost 0.6 kg (1,3 lbs) in 10 days. I'm with PCOS that might be the reason, but it's really demotivates me and today I binged. I started Metformin (for pcos) 2 days ago, maybe it'll help to lose weight. I don't know what to do anymore, last two days I didn't walk and exercise I lost that ambition. I have lots of weight to lose, it's about 27 kg (60 lbs) how can I move on?

Try building muscle

2 lbs a month is nice steady progress. It's terrific that you kept that up for a year! You don't need ambition, just develop some good habits, which it seems you must have already done. Weight loss is its own reward. It's ok if you occasionally miss a day, but don't make a habit out of missing. If I ate right or exercised only on the days I felt ambitious, I'd still be 150 lb overweight.

The time will pass anyway and weight loss is not linear, in six months do you want to be smaller or more overweight, you need to build habits that will help you control your eating, and keep up the exercise.

I would look at it this way: The habits you're building are getting lots of practice, and by the time you get to maintenance, you'll be an expert!

Other thoughts:
If you're allowing yourself a cheat day, that might be sabotaging you more than you believe.
If you're eating lots of packaged foods, add 20% to the calories listed on the label. By law, the labels can be off by 20%, so you have to wonder if the food companies take advantage of that.
If you're not weighing your food, you could be eating more than you think.
If you are eating foods prepared by others, do you know for sure how it's prepared?
Some of MFP's calorie counts are WAY off. Like 4 oz of salmon for 110 calories. No.
Cross check all your regularly consumed foods with USDA's calorie lists.

You have done an awesome job sticking to it for a year! Good luck to you!

Thank you everybody.
Everybody in my family and some of relatives know that I'm trying to lose weight and they live another cities, but when they see me I know that they will say "that's it?" because I feel the same way.
Actually today I realised that my muscles on my legs are harder, firmer. Maybe I added at least a little muscle? I want to think like this. I think that there may be a mistake on logging, maybe I should buy a kitchen scale I just don't want to be obsessed with calories, nutrition, diet with all this stuff... But I should definitely stay out of packaged food.
