I didn't have problems losing while on the pill, but when I went off the pill (I had other problems caused by the pill) I lost 3 lbs without trying. I was maintaining at the time and it was CHRISTMAS VACATION! I thought that was bizarre, since I'm sure I ate more.
I read an article not too long ago that may explain why that happened. It was in Clean Eating Magazine. Apparently, the bcp effects your body fat levels. The trainer that wrote the article said he's seen many women lose 2-3% body fat after going off the pill (without any other changes in diet or exercise.) Now this was a trainer, not a doctor, so I'm not sure how accurate this is. It's something to think about though.
