Hi

I have been on the pill now for a good 5-6 months. I have always struggled with these last 10-15 lbs. BUT on the pill I seem to be doing all the right things and NONE of my clothes fit. I exercise, intensly, 5 days per week, I journal my food and really stick with my plan and NOTHING is Happening. Is this because of the pill? I am so unhappy. I can't even make the scale budge by 1 lb. that seems crazy!!! HELP....any suggestions?

OMG. You described my situation PERFECTLY. No matter what I do, I cant seem to make the scale move (or inches for that matter) and Ive been on a diet for almost a month now. Everything I'm doing now worked before I was on the pill so I was thinking that also may be it. Well no advice really becasue I'm trying to figure this out myself but thought Id tell you that your not the only person in that boat!

thank you!

I am so miserable about it I think I will go off and just not do anything for a while. Well, Condoms....maybe that will help.

Good luck!

That is almost what I am thinking myself. I'm not in complete need a birth control and dont really mind condoms right now. Maybe switching pills might help. I've thought about doing that. Let me know how it goes if you could :)

P.S. I'm on OTC lo so maybe it has something to do with that pill family ;)

hi

I am supposed to be on low dosage. I know my system is sensitive. I was on the patch for 2 months prior. My boobs got huge, never went down, and then I switched to the pill because the patches came off after my spinning class. they are expensive and then I have to buy a replacement.

Anyway, I am going to disucss w/my Husband to determine what to do.

OK. Good luck! I will keep you posted
