Bc And Weight Loss

does anyone know if the pill hinders
weight loss? i've just been trying so hard
for 4 months and i've only lost 17 pounds.
in the past when i've done weight watchers
it's come off much faster, but i wasn't on
the pill then.
it's just really frustrating.

Yes, every person can react differently to
the hormones. While I didn't personally
put on any weight. It was impossible to
lose weight. I had to work very hard just
to maintain my wheight. Since I stopped I
have lost 7 lbs and have not changed my
diet/exercise at all. And on top of that I
am constantly bloated/retaining water, so
once that stops I don't know how much I
would have lost.
You going off soon, right?

Before I got pregnant I was on the pill
& I think it helped me keep my weight
down but now since .I've had .Kaylee I
think it's making me put weight on &
making it a thousand times harder to lose
the weight. It could be your problem
though, I've heard of it making people
gain & keep weight on.

i really want to go off it and see if that
helps. i need to lose at least 40 pounds
by october and it's not going to happen if
things keep going like they're going.
i was planning on going off it in august
but we decided that before we'd set the
date for our wedding in october. now i
don't know what i want to do. i guess we
could still start ttc in august and if it
happened right away i'd only be 2 months
along at the wedding, but i don't think
it'll happen right away.
hmm... nick is supposed to be picking up
my next pack tomorrow. maybe i can talk
him into me going off it now and then we
can just use condoms or something...

well, i was still able to lose 17 pounds
by following weight watchers.
i googled it and from what i read it seems
like the low dose pills (i'm on yaz) don't
seem to make you gain weight so maybe i'm
just having a harder time for some reason.
maybe pregnancy weight is harder to lose?
i don't know... i'm just going to start
exercising and stick to ww and see what
happens.
i decided to stay on the pill for now, we
hate condoms and it's only for a few more
months anyway.

i might try out weight watchers or
something similiar.

can keep an erection once he puts one on..
for reason they kill his boner. lmao. so
we're excited for me to be on bc.

I was on birthcontrol (the patch) until
.oni was 4 months.
It seemed like as soon as I got off, I
started losing weight.
I'm down from 172( a month ago) to 153(a
few seconds ago)!
I've been eating right and excercising a
lot. I didn't like to excercise, until
people could see the results. go figure!
loL!
