everyone reacts differently to BC pills...some women gain, some don't..I personally felt like they bloated me, but that may have been the "woman" problems I was having at the time also...now that I've been off them for a few years, I feel better

Hey B?!?!?!? Where ya at? Hope you're sticking to it ... but if ya don't you still need to keep coming around anyway. Sooner or later you will get your groove on if you hang around here long enough. 
I'm still here!
I haven't been posting because I have nothing new yet to report. I'm hoping my system gets used to this medication and I start to see some more progress.
Just got to stick with it and hope for something good to happen!

Maybe she got snowed in. It gets cold up there on the Tundra.
Sorry for not updating guys!
I am off the BC pills, so finally I'll be able to see some progress. I was on a high hormone one to fight off my acne (which really wasn't all that bad to begin with). These pills are used only to treat acne and come with a warning, and after doing a lot of research, I decided I definitely needed to get off them.
I am pretty sure if I follow my meal plans properly, lay off the dairy, workout regularly and take my supplements, my skin should be able to take care of itself.
ANYWAYS... BACK NOW, and I'm over this hurdle!

I've eaten nearly twice those cals in one sitting on more than one occassion 
.
.
Yeah yeah yeah, so have I, hahaha.
Oh brazeneye where art thou? 
I'm still here!
I am getting my RMR tested next Wednesday. SO EXCITED. Then finally I will know what my maintenance calories/calories to lose weight are. I have been following my meal plans and working out, but I have been maintaining 150lbs. I just don't understand. So this will definitely shed some light on my metabolism.
My only hope is that I won't have to eat under 1000 calories to lose with my damn yo-yo metabolism

How do you get your RMR tested?

You may need to eat more and exersize to raise your RMR, then lower the cals slightly and try some carb cycling. Could try alot of things.
This is an RMR test: http://www.freshfitness.ca/pdf/rmr_brochure.pdf
You basically lie in a dimly lit room for 15-30 minutes, breathing into a mask which is connected with tubes to a VO2 P.A.S, which will analyze the air that is exhaled. This measures your metabolism at a resting state. From that they can know what my basal is (moving metabolism) from what I do in a day, and my regular workout activity, then gauge what my 'loss caloric' level is.
Right now I am eating 1600 calories a day, balanced (40C/30P/20F), and I am gaining about 1/2 a pound a week :S

Just hanging outside up there in a t-shirt. Should start burning some cal right away. or start swimming that always burns up the cals
Currently I walk 4 miles a day (2 miles to work, 2 miles home), 45 minutes stationary bike, and my weight routine which is in previous posts in this thread.
