I recently stopped taking the pill, and I was wondering has anyone stopped taking it and saw a difference when it came to you losing weight or was it about the same as when you were taking it?

    I think it all depends on the woman and the brand pill. Bc once I started taking birth control my pill actually made me lose weight.

    My weight stayed the same when I stopped taking it, but my sex drive went through the roof!

    That's how I was, and I'm afraid since I stopped I'm gonna gain some of the weight back

    Mine stayed off. And I'm sure as long as you stay focus on your new lifestyle you should be safe.

    I recently went off mine too and I notice I have been hungrier than I was before and snacking more. Because I exercise I haven't put any weight on yet but it worries me.

    I am also bloated a lot more than I was before.

    I lost all my weight. I had been on the shot and I got up to 145lbs. When I got off it I went back down to 116. It took a few months though.

    Think it just depends on the pill and how your body reacts to it. My pill doesn't affect my weight.

    The shot had me up a few pounds, didn't have that with the pill. When I stopped the pill, it was because I found out I was pregnant... so really hard to tell a difference on weight since I wasn't sure what was causing anything at that point. LOL!
