Hey,
I too am over weight & on Metiformin to lose it (i have insulin resistance)
i am on 500mg x 3 tablets a night right after dinner- i lost 3kgs the first week on it & that was x1 500mg tablet a night, i then lost another kg when i went up to two tablets & another kg when up to three but have since stopped losing weight

Not sure if you have seen my other thread but i just bought a book called "the fertility diet" its pritty much the same as the low GI diet book but the fertility one says you should have x1 glass of full fat milk a day to help ovulation & 2 half cups of ice cream a week. Also, soft drink (sodas, fuzzy drinks- coke, fanta ect) stop ovulation! I didnt know this, i knew soft drinks weren't good for you but didnt realise they have such a impact!

I have already started doing the milk & no more soft drink, i am hoping it will help- i really recomend people read the book.

I am wondering if i need to up my metaformin too, the doctor said it was ment to regulate my period but it hasn't i am on day 47 of this cycle- i am due to start clomid when my next cycle starts.

Heres hoping my bad/ sad mood today is my coming (got a this morning)
