OK..My situation is that I had my daughter in 1/2000 when I left the hospital I was given the depo shot. I was on that for 5 years then I had to be taken off. Then I started taking the standard pill for 3 months then I switched to seasonal I had been on them for almost a year "I believe" then I decided to stop taking birth control all together. Since I felt that I was taking them more as a habbit than anything considering that I am not sexually active. And I had gained alot of weight while on the birth control since January of 2000. And to mention that during this whole time I had not had one period.
My main reason to be taken off was hoping that I would start my period again and plus being off the pill both would help with me losing weight. Considering bc makes you gain weight. I have now been off the pill for almost 2 months. I had a breakthrough bleeding three weeks ago but that was it.
When will I start seeing the weight come off and what else can I do to help it come off?

See I have been eating the right food and exercising.
Just to mention YES birth control does make you gain weight the print that comes with them and the doctors will even tell you that they do.
I have been told that because of not having my period for that long of a time and now my body being able to rid the waiste that will help with the weight loss that is my question and concern and as to how long and anything else that can help...

Diet and exercise sweetie! I've just recently started a 1200 calorie diet and exercising at least five times weekly. Two weeks down almost 6 lbs. but remember and as I suspect a healthy weight loss is 1-2 lbs weekly. Which I am sure is what I will be losing from here on out. Hopefully ;-)

Do the southbeach diet.. its easy. I lost 90lbs with out going to the gym.
Just getting off the pill won't make the weight fall off... sounds like you are going to have to work for it.
Southbeach plus a little bit of walking... you'll see it drop.

the pill is not a major factor in your weight gain.
getting off the pill will not cause you to lose weight.
actually you have to eat a lot less food to lose weight.
sorry
