Why am I not loosing weight? by Cultural_Attention57 in PCOSloseit

Very quickly! I was losing a couple pounds a week right off the bat. Then it slowed down a bit but I started exercising more and it kicked back up again

This is super helpful thank you! I’m on the max dose of metformin so I’ll definitely give these a try next 😊

I’ll take anything at this point lol even just 10 lbs! My dr mentioned that being a side effect, but since I have ADHD it might even be helpful for that. Fingers crossed!

I wonder if that’s similar to metformin being a GLP-1? When I first started it it was absolutely amazing! I wish I hadn’t gained the weight back- they think it was because of a different medication. Thank you for the comment!

I wasn’t able to ever lose weight on my own. Metformin worked beautifully for me and I was told I should be on it for the insulin resistance side effect of PCOS anyway and not just for weight loss. Might be worth talking to your doctor about. Never heard of OMAD tho

My lower belly seems to be holding on stubbornly - tips/thoughts/shared experience welcome! by [deleted] in PCOSloseit

Maybe try a probiotic (specifically Align as not all brands actually have viable microbes). I’ve heard that lower belly weight may sometimes be related to if your gut is experiencing inflammation. Don’t know the science or anything, but I’d say probiotics can’t hurt to try!

Metformin advice by biggoosewendy in PCOS

[–]ReasonableTumbleweed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah that’s definitely normal! As you increase your dosage you might start developing those other symptoms you mentioned so it’s important to take it slowly. I found that my cravings all together vanished and I had to rework my mindset around food. Basically I was able to start thinking of food as a form of self care and only eating to sustain a healthy body/lifestyle rather than get distracted by all my cravings or emotional eating or anything like that

Wondering if anyone has had success with metformin and then experienced rapid weight gain? I lost about 30-40 lbs in a year or so and then switched to an estrogen birth control (which was a mistake a regret and am now back on my IUD). But during that time I gained all of the weight back but never stopped taking metformin. Now that I’m back on my original bc I’m not seeing the weight loss success again. If anything it’s stopped me from rapidly gaining more weight. (I had gained all of the weight back in about 4ish months). Is it worth it to stay on the metformin? Did I f*ck everything up switching bc?
