I got up, went pee and weighed myself. The scale says I gained back the two pounds that I lost within the last two weeks. :( I did eat my exercise calories back this week, but I wonder if it is even possible to lose weight while on birth control. My weight has been going up and down, about a pound each time, and when it gets lower I put that in as my weight. :blushing: I figure birth control is what made me gain all this weight to begin with.

I guess I will have to work harder, but wondered what you all thought!:flowerforyou:

    it is definitely possible....I have been on bc for years and have been losing. losing takes time and actual changes so don't be discouraged

    I take BC pills and am losing weight, it is hard but I don't think it has too much to do with the pills, for me anyway!

    You can do it you just have to stick at it, and think positive. I have lost 25lbs now over the last few months, so you can do it too x

    P.s. I find that weighing myself no more than once a week helps - your weight does fluctuate daily, especially with all the hormones in your body from the BC!

    Thank you! I will keep at it and hope for the best!

    By the way, I have an IUD, not taking pills.

    yes its a myth that birth control makes you gain weight or hard to lose weight.

    if anything it should make it easier, as it helps regulate hormones

    I didnt know it was a myth my doctor told me i might put on weight when i started taking them about 3 years ago. Saying that i did put on a little bit weight but i think that was due to bad eating habits in the past.

    I dont think personally it is any harder to loose weight being on BC iv had no problem loosing weight but thats just my experience
