Hello Wild,
Welcome and you can do it this time!Medication
and even birth control can cause weight gain so you have to find
something that works for ya and you still have to take your medication!
I am on depo and I go through these piggout days occationally but
if I ate like that everyday on depo like I did before I would be 40 lbs
heavier in 3 months! I am looking into IUD for birthcontrol it's an
non hormonal 5 year plan!
Well goodluck and have a gr8 day Tammy

You've got it girl. I know you can lose the weight while on the medication. You CAN DO IT!

Hey. Good luck! A great start.

I'd heard the horror stories of how birth control can make you put on weight but I've been on the oral contraceptives for about 2 years now and thankfully I didn't put on anything when I started and haven't since. It hasn't affected my weight or appetite in any way (although if it was going to make me shrink in any way I wouldn't complain of course. )

At least you have been referred to a dietician to help with the problem... has he/she been of much help?

Hello!
Great job losing the weight. You should post it a million times...tell the world. Scream form the top of a building. LOL It helps to get feed back on weight loss. Motivation is what is so wonderful about this forum.
Birth control is a pain in the tush (especially the depo lol). I was on that and so was my girlfriend. She had her period 3 months straight.ouch..lol I ate more food on the depo OMG SO I understand ..course I had a really fast metabollisom..and I was 102 lbs..oh the good 'ol days.

I look forward to reading more of your success stories.. a million times..lol

Keep up the good work!
