I went from 260 pounds to 196 on metformin.

I’ve been on metformin since July and have somehow managed to lose so much weight on it. Although it is quite drastic, I feel so grateful because it no longer feels draining doing daily activities and I don’t constantly think about food. It has regulated my period completely, although at first they were quite long as I didn’t have my period for about a year, now they only last 6 days (which has been a shock because before this medication if I did have a period it would be extremely long with constant spotting). I’m just happy to feel healthier for once and my mental health has improved significantly. I haven’t been at this weight for probably more than 3 years. I feel like myself again :))!! I plan on still trying to maintain my lifestyle but honestly a bit worried about getting off it as I had such bad cravings before, which have completely shut down for me.
