    I'm nearing the end of being back on the Pill for 2 months. I've easily been able to maintain my weight loss (190-147) for those 2 months.

    I don't believe the Pill makes you gain weight. It's your hormones that make you hungrier. If you learn to "eat to live" not "live to eat", the Pill shouldn't affect your weight.

    bump. (thanks for asking this question - i've been curious about going back on birth control. i used to be on yaz and never had trouble with weight gain... then again, it also made me very sick - like throwing up every morning after i took the pill the night before kind of sick. my friend gained quite a bit while on the ring... so i'm not considering that as an option for me.)
