Question
hey i've been having a weight problem since march. my mom put me on birth controll and my doctor tells me its so hard to lose weight that you have gain with it. im eating healthy i dont drink sodas or juices. i stopped eating fast food. and i only eat t home instead of out. what should i do to be fit during college try outs in the spring?

Answer
That is for your doctor and nutritionist to answer. Off the top of my head I would say possibly talk to your doctor and mom about another form of birth control (patch perhaps) that may not put on as much weight. Ask your doctor and any nutritionist on campus for a SAFE workout/diet regiment. Or if worst comes to worst and you can't find any alternatives (if you want it bad enough) promise your mom you won't have intercourse until after tryouts and get off the birth control.
