I took Loestrin 24 for about a year, and just went off the pill a couple months ago. I too struggled with weight loss, because I gained about 10-15 lbs when I started the pill. Since then, I have quickly lost about 10 lbs, without even realizing it or trying. Loestrin definitely kept me from losing the weight I wanted to. So there's probably a good chance you'll lose the weight quicker too.
