47- went off BCP 1 1/2 months ago and keep gaining weight

I am not sure I can blame going off the BCP for not being able to loose weight.  I am 47 keep my cals about 1500 a day, work out at least 5 days a week buring 400 calories each time, but I keep feeling bloated and my clothes are still tight.  I eat a very healthy diet have stopped drinking alcohol for the most part.  But to no avail.... 

 has anyone else had this same effect or should I just go visit a dietician to see what I am doing wrong.  I usually get and "a- or b+" on my food choices.  Which really should be an "a" all the time becuase I think their grading is off..  but that is another forum..

k -- what's a 'BCP' ?

Sounds like you're on the right track.. how long have you been at it?

It must be pretty frustrating, being in a holding pattern like that! I had to take a few cracks at this stuff before my weight budged at all.. then it all fell off at once. It didn't seem to follow a predictable path.

Are you far from your weight loss goal? the last few pounds cling with a vengeance.

Are you possibly feeling bloated from eating more fibre, or some other reason?

Any medical history that might be interfering?

Why do you think the grading is lower than you'd expect?

Am I asking too many questions? haha..

thanks for replying, Birth control pills, BCP...  I am 135 and want to get to 120.  I am 5 foot 4 inches and small frame, so I know its not out of the question  I am doing everything possible but the pounds wont budge.  I have been checked out head to toe within the last year so I know nothing is wrong with me.  Then it dawned on me the other day, I stopped the pill and that is when all of this started happening. 

I think the food grading is off; for instance eggs are suppose to be good for you now, but they are a c-, some fish, because of cholesterol is a c-, but its low fat and low cal.  If you don't have a cholesterol problem it shouldn't be an issue.   I have been getting about 21 grams of fiber a day, but I dont think that is it.  I think I will talk to my gyno tomorrow and ask her.
