It's very frustrating for me because I feel like I'm always making good choices, I don't over eat, I indulge in sugar some but not everyday or anything, I drink mostly water, and 90% of the time I'm in the gym doing cardio for an hour each day, 6 days a week, and do light weight training some at home. And no I haven't kept the same workout routine everyday for the past year, I switch the stuff I do up very regularly so I know it's not just my body getting used to a workout. I work out so hard, I am drenched in sweat at the end of each workout and after a year I'm just feeling like it's all for nothing.
I have an appointment with my gyno August 8th and I'm going to have a talk with my boyfriend about it and see if it's a good choice for me to take a break from this for awhile to see if I can get anywhere with my weight loss. This time last year I would say I was around 170-175 I would say now I'm probably 10 lbs. more than that, I know that's probably the standard it seems for most people and not a big deal but when I want to lose weight and I'm in the gym most nights busting my butt and getting nowhere I think it's time to try and do something about it.
The fact that you wrote at the end "putting on a condom or two" makes me not believe your whole statement. If you wear more than one condom it will tear because of the friction. DO NOT WEAR MORE THAN ONE CONDOM.
lol myth .. yea right... i been on pill for four years.. i east half as much as high school and walk way more and exercise ... I gained at least 30 pounds since high school... I am not obese... but i know im fat...
I used to be normal this is so ridiculous.. i hate birth control..
After breaking up with my boyfriend current bf i am never going to take it again.
on the good side.. i was never pregnant
if they don't cause weight gain, then why is it that, before taking the pill that i'm on now, i didn't get insane hunger, but now i do and sometimes i can't stop eating. And if i don't eat for a couple of hours, i get so hungry that i feel sick and lightheaded? I've gained 8 lbs now since starting the pill that i'm on now.
I completely disagree..... I have never had a problem weight gaining weight my entire life until i got on implanon!!!! Seriously.... It has gotten ridiculous... I got off the implanon like a month an a half ago... Now on ortho tri... WOW gaining more weight!! My breast hurt 99% of the time.. Not to mention change in bra size, pant size.... Like what??? I do not see how someone can seriously say bc does not cause weight gain.. It only seems to make sense to me... As a female, especially during your younger years, you are producing an abundance of progesterone and estrogen in your body as it is... This gives you all your secondary characteristics... Your nice curves etc.. What does birth control have in it? These hormones... Either estrogen or progesterone.... How can you add something to your body that already has abundance of it and it not cause weight gain... I am only 23.. My metabolism shouldn't be on the crappy end right now at all.. In reality, it seems to be better to do just do it the old fashion way.. Not take ANYTHING. Oh yeah.. I am in nursing school.. In one of my classes, EBP states that oral contraceptives can actually cause you to get cancer?? WHAT??? It drives me wild how pharmaceuticals help with other things but rarely tells you how it can actually hurt you worse.
