Weight loss on the pill?

[Razzberry]

I have heard so many stories of people putting on weight when on the pill but its been the opposite for me. I have pcos and have been struggling to lose weight after having my ds. I was going to the gym everyday and eating well and not losing a thing. My specialist put me on the pill and the weight has started falling off me! It just shows how much hormones play a role in weight gain/ weight loss.

Has anyone else found it to be this way ?

Yep, I lost 20kg when I was on the Pill. Massive gain and hard to shift since I haven't been on it.

Wow 20kgs! That's awesome I hope my weightloss continues but I am scared as soon as I come off it again it will pile back on again ...

I have PCOS and find losing weight much easier when I'm on the pill.

I recently started taking Yaz and have lost a few kg's with no effort. Which pill are you taking?

ETA, I don't have PCOS.

I'm on Diane (well whateva the cheap brand is of that anyway). It was explained to me that going back on the pill would pull all my hormones back into line and give me the boost some of the hormones that we low and then lower others that are high! I have to say I feel the best I've felt in a long time but this is also in combination with exercise and diet. Just nice that finally after months of feeling like giving up cause nothing was working now it is finally happening. I have friends who are so against the pill and artificial hormones but I have to say its been good to me.
