Can birth control be affecting my progress?

For the past couple of months, I've been trying to cut back on eating & eating healthier things. A couple weeks ago I was going to the gym every day for a while but I saw absolutely NO weight loss! I'm thinking my birth control might have something to do with it. I'm trying to get to 155 or below (being 188 right now) & it's discouraging to see no progress. But my husband & I are going to hit the gym today to get this ball rolling! Wish me luck!

    good luck. watch your sodium intake so you don't retain water and make sure you are eating enough calories to support your activity. break up your calories into 6 small meals and drink your water! :)

    You've been trying or actually doing? If you are not actually measuring and logging your food, you may be eating too much to lose.

    A couple of years ago, I was on Diane35, its a birth control for acne, I swear it hindered my progress back then. I was extremely bloated, and I watched my sodium intake, and drank plenty of water.
    Everyone is different, and every pill is different. I would suggest drinking lots of water and to cut back on sodium, to really see if it is the pill
