I started taking Yaz three weeks ago and lost about 6 pounds which looked like more in terms of my clothes being VERY loose. I literally went down 1 size.

I have been dieting (avoiding processed food carbs and everything else I should) and exercising (40-50 minutes cardio 5-6 days a week; weights 20 minutes 3xs a week) like a mad fiend for a few months now but have been stalled in terms of weight loss and was thrilled with the loss and though finally my body was getting in sync. I assumed the weight I "lost" was water weight or hormonal and the Yaz helped. My co-workers and friends all noticed and commented on it too so I know it wasn't just me--it was rather astounding to lose 1 size in a week.

Fast forward to now and I have gained it back, and then some. I am blown up like a friggin' balloon and I couldn't button my pants this morning that I wore YESTERDAY!! My shoes and bra are suddenly too tight. And the scale shows 10 pounds more than 4 days ago.

I don't know if this is related but I am also spotting although I still have 1 1/2 weeks of active pills left. I don't know what to do but I want to cry. I worked out per usual this morning and wanted to scream since my running pants didn't fit and neither did my sports bra.

So, do I go to Yasmin instead...add a dieuretic...go back to Metaformin? (never worked for me and only made me really constipated--I know opposite of most people but my IBS is the kind wth constipation issues)

I am really at the end of my rope with this. What is the point of never eating sugar and exercising 1 hr a day to NEVER lose weight?
