Weight gain after stopping the pill, need some support!

enjayer

Hi guys,
Well, I had an up and down year or two but managed to get down to my goal weight of about sixty to sixty two kgs this year ( was silly enough to stop using MFP then but felt great! ). I'd been on the pill for about eight years, off and on, when I decided to stop it and gained weight. A LOT of it. While I'm tempted to get back on it to lose weight ( I know most people gain on it, I didn't) , I figure diet and exercise is always a better choice! I'd really love some support as I'm struggling and am such a people person that some friends here would help a lot. So... Any kind souls out there happy to help? Keeping my fingers crossed!
