    What worries me is that I've read that birth control severely reduces the rate of muscle gain...

    I have had too many variables in my life to say whether or not birth control has affected my weight, but I did read somewhere that it increases your appetite. So, if you eat the same amount and exercise the same amount, it will not affect anything, but it makes you WANT food more. If you have self control, you can still lose weight.

    However, I can't exactly site my source, so I don't know if this is true or not.

    I'm on one called Yasmin...have had no problems re gaining weight (and it cleared up my spots too woop!).

    Time will tell now i'm trying to loose weight whether it will prove a hindrance!
