Have any women on birth control has success losing weight? I hear from a lot of women on it and they say it's almost impossible to lose weight no matter what they do. If you have had any weight loss what pill are you using and what are you doing to lose the weight?

I was able to lose weight, but only when I was doing 30 min toning followed by 30 min of aerobics or swimming... and I was doing this every other day... no exceptions.

You can lose weight, but like most people... exercise is a must. And I had to cut out sugar almost completely.

Hi! I used to be on Ortho Novum 777 and Tri-Norinyl but have since switched to Yasmin. I've been on it for about 5 months now and I actually have lost some weight...I'm sure I'd lose even more if I maintained a routine exercise plan - hope this info helps. Good luck! http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/smile.gif

I am on the nuvaring. I have not gained weight from it. I also do not have that bloating feeling like I did when I was on the pill. I also just started to diet and I am losing weight.

4 years ago I lost 45 lbs while on bcp. You do have to diet and exercise, but it did not hinder my weight loss at all.
