Birth Control & Body Fat

[ROXY]

HI FITNESS GALS! THIS IS A QUESTION FOR ALL OF YOU BODYBUILDERS OUT THERE THAT ARE CURRENTLY TAKING A BIRTH CONTROL PILL. DO YOU FEEL THAT IT IS HARDER TO GET YOUR BODY FAT ANY LOWER ONCE YOU'VE STARTED?
I'M 5'6, 130 LBS. AND 17.6% BODY FAT. I'VE TAKEN LEVLEN 28 FOR THE PAST 3 MONTHS WHICH IS A LOWER FORM OF THE PILL AND SINCE THEN IT'S BEEN HARDER TO LOSE ANY MORE FAT. MY TRAINING HAS INTENSIFIED SINCE THIS TIME, SO I AUTOMATICALLY STARTED TO BLAME THE PILL.
I WANT TO START COMPETING SOON AND I KNOW I NEED TO LOWER MY FAT.

LET ME KNOW GALS! REALLY INTERESTED IN YOUR EXPERIENCES AND OPINIONS!!!
THANKS!!!- roXy

Hey Roxy,
They say it doesn't make you gain weight but I think it does for me anyways! I gained10 pounds the first month i took it andwhen i finallt stopped last yr. there went the 10 pounds. I guess its different for everyone but the pill will not ever be my form of birth contrl again, Just my opinion. Good luck i training!

HEY CHRISSY,
THANKS FOR YOUR REPLY! YOU'RE NOT THE ONLY WOMAN OUT THERE THAT FEELS THE SANE WAY. THE PILL IS BOTH A BLESSING AND A CURSE AT THE SAME TIME.
I GUESS I'M JUST CURIOUS ABOUT WOMEN COMPETITORS AND THEIR CHOICES. LET ME KNOW IF YOU HEAR ANYTHING. OTHER THAN THAT GOOD LUCK IN YOUR TRAINING AND NEVER LOSE SIGHT OF YOUR DREAMS IN THE FITNESS WORLD.
THANKS! - roXy
