The pill definitely played a HUGE roll in my gain. I gained 80 lbs in a year and a half while I was on it. I exercised. I ate healthy foods. I still gained. I went off the pill...and within 4-6 months, things began to stabilize--while all else remained the same.

The additional 60 I packed on, I take full responsibility for. I was already huge, was depressed, etc. Ben & Jerry's and Papa John's became my best friend. I'd eat until I was nauseous and continued eating anyway. I just wanted the world to go away.
