Bawdy - You are not being intrusive The BCPs were the less invasive of my options. He put me on a very low dose which could be the problem. I will call on Monday and see if he wants to switch or move to the next step.

Calories certainly do matter for me as well. I don't care much for fitday, too much work , but it did help find where my problem areas were. I thought I was eating around 1500 calories a day only to find that I was in fact eating well over 2000! A few changes here and there and I finally started losing.

Also interesting to note that we all lose differently. I tend to lose in whooshes while others lose a steady 1 -2 pounds a week.
