I have two questions about weight loss. I dont want to loose much, Just 20 pounds. Im 5 7 and weigh 135. I was at 142 and have been on a diet for a week now and lost 7 pounds but the last 2 days I have gained a pound and have done nothing different from the diet ive been doing accept adding a crystal lite packet to my water maybe twice a day. I have heard that even though diet sodas and diet drinks have no calories or fat that theres an ingredient that could still possibly halt any weight loss. Is this true? Should I stay away from diet drinks and diet sodas? Ive also had a few of those new diet pepsi max drinks. One every other day or so. Am I doing the wrong thing by drinking these diet drinks? And also one other thing is, can birth control really make you not loose weight? I just got on the nuva ring a month ago. Could this be why i cant loose weight either even though im on a good diet? And if so is there any birth control that doesnt make you gain weight?

I am 27 years old my weight has always went up and down but I have been losing weight and can’t stop. I have anxiety and I did switch my birth control pills a few months back. I have went from 142-136 in the past 3 months can it be from anxiety. What can I do to get my weight back up using food I have been trying to eat 3500 calories a day but its not going so well. I don’t have the money to go to the doctor.

I’m getting on birth control after having an unplanned pregnancy. What birth control pills/shots/patches/whatever are most likely to make you gain weight or increase breast size? i’m trying to avoid this as i’m a DD cup and already overweight.

I’ve been on Depo for almost a year now, and my husband and I love the convenience of the shot, but I HATE the weight gain that I experienced. I am an ex-gymnast (only ex because of a knee injury that I couldn’t come back from) and I’ve always been athletic and toned. Since Depo makes your body think it’s pregnant, the doctor warned me that I could gain somewhere between 10 and 45 pounds, and I’ve gained 25 that won’t come off. I’ve been working out with a personal trainer, and should have lost a LOT more weight than what I have. I haven’t cheated on my diet plan or anything, so that’s not the reason. My doctor had recommended switching birth control if I really wanted to lose the weight effectively. I already know that I’m not good at taking pills, and the patch irritated my skin. I have considered an IUD, but then I ran upon Implanon in my birth control research. My question is how much (if any) weight gain is associated with Implanon? I saw that it is a side effect, but compared to the side effect list of Depo, it is farther down the list. Is the weight gain a huge issue with anyone? There wasn’t a specific number associated with the side effect like Depo has, so I wondered how many of the users experienced this side effect and how radical it was.

I also read about the bleeding that happens after Implanon is started. This is similar to Depo, so I can handle that. The whole reason I started Depo was to reduce or stop my periods. Whenever I have a period that is un-altered by birth control, it is VERY painful (mostly because of the cramps) and often stops me from doing anything but laying in bed until the 3rd or 4th day of the period. I have had medical evaluations to see if there is an abnormal reason for this, but every doctor and OB/GYN has said nothing is wrong, and that this will probably change when/after I have a child. I wanted to know if there were normal periods after the initial bleeding period or if they stop, and if anyone in a similar situation has had any success/failure using Implanon. Thank you SO much!!!

I’ve just started Ortho-Evra birth control. I wanted to know if anyone experienced weight gain on this form of bc.
I’m a thin person, and weight gain would be a deal breaker on this.

I was also just wanting to hear positive/negative reactions with this for of birth control. Did you bloat or get nauseous?
Did your acne go away? Did your boobs get bigger?

Thanks!

I started taking birth control pills about a week ago, I cant for the life of me remember the name. Comes in a green rectangle shaped box .I was on the orthro evera patch before that, and I have noticed that I am losing weight.
I dont exercise and havent really changed what I eat (which isnt healthy things) I have noticed I am not as hungry as normall but that could be from my anti depressants.
Anyway I thought that people gained weight or it made it hard to lose weight on birth control. I have been taking bc in several forms over the years and it has always made me either gain or stay the same. So I was just wondering if this was normal or not.
I am not complaining believe me I am happy. A couple weeks ago I weighed roughly 165 and when I weighed myself today it was 156.
It’s called Mircette

Ok well in 2002 before I got pregnant I was weighing 86 pounds something that is normal for my height 4’9. After I had my son I got back to my normal weight. Immediately I started on Birth Control it was the BC Patch. It made me gain a serious amount of weight. Now after having my daughter the same I cant seem to shed off pounds. My daughter is 2 yrs old. Ive tried many diets, including pills but never again since i had serious side affect to those pills, now just just recently I started to let go of cokes I could finish a whole 12 pack on my own in a day that’s how bad I was. I eat light & healthy and exercise. Ive been drinking a whole lot of water lately and decided to let go of the cokes. SO my question is all this weight I gained is it fat fat or is it water weight?
