It's so hard to lose weight while on birth control, very slow progress!

    It all comes down to CICO. Medications can increase your appetite, but only eating too much causes you to gain. You've got this!

    I used to use my BC as an excuse as to why I could not lose weight. But when I put my mind to it I lost 50 lb quite easily... calories in, calories out. Make better food choices that keep you feeling fuller.

    What kind of BC are you on? I was put on BC about five months ago, which is the same time I started losing weight. I've only had issues when I stopped tracking my food. Everything else has been fine. Like the others have said, weight loss = calories in < calories out.
