For those of you that gained weight from birth control...

Was it easier to start losing that weight once you were off of it?( for those of you who have gotten off it)

I started birth control at 16, and went from 125 to 150 within the first year. And I stayed there until I got pregnant (while on the pill). After he was born and I was breastfeeding, I lost all the pregnancy weight and even got down to 145! But, then my 8 week pp appointment arrived and I got put back on birth control, and my weight went from 145 to 170 within a year, with no diet or activity changes plus I was breastfeeding. My OBGYN thinks that my body doesn't handle hormonal birth control very well, so my husband and I are considering just ditching birth control altogether, and just using condoms and avoid having sex on my fertile days.

My question is, for those of you that had weight gain while on hormonal birth control, and then got off of it, how easy/fast was it getting the weight off?

Thanks!
