I didn't have to lose before I started. I had to lose weight because my blood pressure was high, it's weight related so the doctor said I should try and lose weight before going on meds for it. Thought it was pointless to take metformin to avoid BP meds, but he said metformin would hopefully be short term if I manage to keep the weight off. Which I did, 2 years on I've not regained the weight and my BP is stable.

Your doctor advised you to lose weight even though you weren’t overweight?

Why would anyone do metoformin for weight loss these days if they can do ozempic or mounjaro. Those are 100x more effective. If ur gonna do meds, do the right ones.

Because my doctor won’t prescribe ozempic since I have high blood pressure. Metformin is the only thing she will give.
