I discovered that metformin acts as a mild appetite suppressant on me, as it does for some folks. So yes, some few kg weight loss, that disappeared when not on metformin.

According to the product information, Metformin can help with weight loss. In Dr Anne L Peter's book "Conquering Diabetes" she states that most people will lose some weight while taking Metformin, primarily because it makes you feel a little bit ill & lacking in appetite.

I’m still losing weight after getting off the metformin. About a pound a week for two weeks. On the metformin it was closer to 1.5 to 2 pound a week, although in the first month it was a little more than that.
