Metformin and weight loss questions?

I have insulins resistance and have started eating properly for it 4 weeks ago I have been working out 5 days a week for 4 months and I have lost nothing!!!! The doctor started me on metformin yesterday to help make my cells more sensitive so that I might beable to lose weight. Will metformin aid in this? Because I'm getting very upset and am at my wits end.... I am also 21 5'2 and 215 lbs also work out for 1.5 hours for every work out

    Metformin is not a weight loss pill. It helps to improve insulin sensitivity and stops your liver pumping out glucose.

    Some people see weight loss on Metformin. Many don't.

    I can definitely understand how frustrated you might be after a month of working so hard and no results. My girlfriend was going through the same thing you are and finally got results by joining a health club. Very motivating to be around people that are trying to accomplish the same thing you are. Also, you should check this site out: www.perfectlynot.com. It's a great site to release any frustration you might have. Hopefully someone on there can provide you some good advice too.
