Weight Loss with Mirena?

lpshizza

I'm having a tough time dropping weight.....I have read women with the Mirena IUD tend to "hold onto" excess weight. I am dieting and exercising 5-6 days a week and have only lost 4 pounds in the past two months.....I feel like I should be losing fat at twice the pace for my diet and workout routines? Anyone else having a tough time?

I have Mirena, and I do tend to lose slowly - usually between 1/2 pound - 1 pound a week. But my calories are only set to lose a pound a week anyway, so it's pretty on track.

Slow weight loss is more sustainable anyway.
