OK, I've been doing this diet thing for a while. I've lost 45#, but it comes off in chunks. For example, two weeks ago when I was on my spacer pills, I lost 6#. On Sunday, I started my new pack and the next day I gained 3. It took two weeks to get that 3 back off. I drink tons (probably 1 1/2 gallon a day) of water, so I don't think that's it. There is a pattern, this is not abnormal.

Here's my question, and I'm sure it's been answered before: how much effect do bc pills have on my diet?

Thanks for any help, if I do this computer thing all wrong, I apologize, I'm new to forums too! Please bear with me!

Congratulations on your 45 lbs gone!!

Yes, artificial hormones can have quite an effect on your weight loss attempts. It made it practically impossible for me. I had given up trying, but once I stopped taking them, the weight came off without me even trying! Go figger.

Anyway, welcome to the forum and enjoy.
