"i started loestrin 24 about a year and a half ago. i initially gained about 10 pounds and have consistently continued to gain weight. i look bloated most of the time and have also gotten cellulite, even though i am only in my twenties. i constantly have an appetite and even though i exercise regularly, i cannot seem to lose the weight. however, the bright side is that my periods are non-existent and i don&#039;t have cramping."
