Greetings everyone!

I am determined to lose the weight that has plagued me for many years. I am 35 years old and was recently diagnosed with PCOS and shortly after that, Diabetes. I started diet and exercise 9 days ago and began Metformin 4 days ago. The difference has been amazing already. Before the drugs I had tried several times to lose weight but when it wouldn't move after a month or so I always gave up. I'm finding this site very helpful.

I just wanted to say Hi! Since I am sneaking around reading all your posts ;)

Starting weight: 102kg
Current weight: 98.2kg

    I give you a lot of credit for starting a diet and exercise program along with the metformin to improve your health, and it's great that you're already feeling better and seeing positive changes. Keep up the great work! ~Lynn /Glucerna

    Thanks :) I have been shocked by how many people seem to to think the drug is magical and requires no effort. It was clearly explained to me that it would simply help redress imbalance. I'm so so glad I haven't had any major side effects so far as I know some people have.
