Question again!

Ok my fellow people I'm 12 pounds from goal and I would like to get it off by jan 11th my one year. I recently started birthc control. Have any of you started taking it and see a change in your weight loss? I feel like since I've started taking it my weight loss has slowed a lot. I'm stuck now for about a month. 202 -200. It's like my body is playing a joke on me...ha I'm not laughing. Let me know your thoughts!! Thanks so much! Michelle

Hi Michelle, Birth Control can make you slow down on your weight loss. I got the surgery to get off BC. I have PCOD and didn't get a period on my own for 12 years. I had to take BC to be "normal". One month after surgery... I'm normal. I hope to stay off BC for a very long time. Getting married soon and once I get the Dr's OK... hope to start a family. For what it's worth, I was stuck at 202 for 1 1/2 months and then it started moving again. I am down to 162. Hoping to get to 130 one day. I'm just so excited to be 162. Best of luck on your weight loss! You are doing GREAT!!!! Jen

I have slowed down also, but I am not taking B/C. I think our bodies have reached their goal instead of our mindset goal. (those darn bodies) Have you increased your water intake, that helped me in October because my weight loss just stopped and when I increased my water the pounds came off. I also run at least 6 times a week, do you still exercise? Also has anyone noticed that eating is not painful anymore since the pouch is healed, I wonder if that is an issue also. We are not in pain or feel too full so we eat a bit more? I dunno please advise! Michelle keep up the good work you made it this far with success the skies the limit! Susan 260/130 at goal
