I've been on off-label Metformin therapy since April last year, and from weighing just under 87 kg then, I've just bounced marginally under 80 kg.
The weight has jumped around, but overall slowly ticked down. I've not weighed under 80 kg since before getting pregnant with child #1 in 2017.
Some days I wish it would go faster - but really the biggest win is that my weight is no longer slowly ticking up like it does when unmedicated, however healthily I eat or how much exercise I get.
