I run 15 to 20 miles every week and I work out 6 days a week. I have been on a 1200 calorie per day diet and I STILL gain weight. Over the summer I was working out twice a day and could not lose weight. I have made an appointment with my doctor to change me off of this pill. I was on Alesse before with no issues. I am only taking one Seasonale per day. >
