Birth Control Pills - Cause of my plateau

. I posted this a few days ago on the main board, but thought I'd repost it here on the April board. I see some people have had stalls that they can't explain, and so I thought I should let you know my experience. I went on Seasonale Birth Control Pills in mid-October so I would cycle only 4 times a year. BIG MISTAKE! It totally stopped my weight loss. Before going on them, I called my surgeon's office for their opinion, and they said that I should have no problem taking them or absorbing them. I think I even posted here about it and a few people said they took them with no problem. Did it stop anyone's weight loss? From 10/19 to 11/9 I only lost 2 pounds. From 11/9 to 12/9 I only lost 3 pounds. I quit the pills the first week in December and started cycling on 12/9. Since 12/9 I have lost 12 pounds!!!!!! Just wanted to warn anyone contemplating taking them that you may have a MAJOR stall in your weight loss. I learned the hard way. Ugh. My profile has a complete journal of my journey, and I'm including this experience too, so any pre-ops reading it will know ahead of time what to expect! Hope you all have a WONDERFUL holiday season!
