  • Totally. I've lost almost 25 pounds while on birth control pills (Sprintec, specifically). However, I have noticed that when I stop taking the active pills during my period/withdrawal bleed, I drop around 3 pounds almost immediately. A week later, as soon as I start a new pill pack, those 3 pounds are back (minus whatever…
    in Can I lose weight while on birth control?! Comment by juleeahnah September 2017
  • Glad you asked-- I'm almost in the exact same boat! 32, 5 ft 8 in, 145 pounds currently (down from 167). Would like to get to 135-137. I hit 145 around July and have been hovering around 143-146 since. Admittedly, I have not been tight with logging (aka letting extra snacks and wine sneak back into my diet), which is…
    in Looking for advice to shed the last 10 pounds... 5'8" Comment by juleeahnah September 2017
  • I'm 5ft 8in, started at 168 lbs---currently 145 lbs-- goal is 135 lbs. Once I hit the 140's I slowed quite a bit but I also increased my calories.

Was initially very confused (and irritated). I'm a creature of habit (I generally eat the…
    in 2.8 weight gain overnight Why?! Comment by juleeahnah July 2017
  • I've tried 7-8 types of birth control pills w varying formulas for medical reasons and pregnancy prevention. For me, they've all caused a mild amount of water retention regardless of their formula. Currently on Sprintec and when I go on my withdrawal bleed and quit the active pills, I will drop 2-3 lbs over the first few…
    in Weight loss slowed a lot after starting the mini pill Comment by juleeahnah July 2017
  • Similar goal to me! Started last Dec with a 25 lb loss goal, currently at 23 lost. Earlier in the process, it came off 1lb per wk pretty consistently. Now it's about 1/2 lb per week or less, even adjusting my calories for my new weight. On average across all weeks, it's been .75lb per week. I was definitely not super…
