Birth control and weight loss

[vivid-prodigy.livejournal.com]

I've been on NuvaRing for a year, and since I started, I have been able to lose about 40 lbs.  However, I'm having difficulty losing weight and inches around my belly.  No matter how much I work out or how much weight I lose, I can't seem to get rid of much as much around this area in proportion to how much I've lost elsewhere.  Could this be because of the birth control?

Thanks in advance!

You've received some great advice, i just wanted to add that maybe doing daily crunches would help, toning your ab muscles may give you the desired effect you want. Unfortunately no one can really tell you if it is specifically your HBC that is effecting your weight loss or not because HBC effects everyone differently.

Sadly, spot toning is impossible. I wish it worked.
