I'm in the exact same boat as you girl. I went to college and subsequently gained 20 pounds. I went from 103/105 to 126/128. At first I switched birth control thinking that was it, but I didn't really lose any weight from switching. It really was the beer, mostly. So, I have really started to watch what I eat. I count calories (but not obsessively) and I eat WAY healthier. I haven't bought a pre-made meal (hot pocket, frozen pizza, Tv dinner, etc.) in at least 7 months. I switched to whole wheat bread and I pretty much live off of bacon and eggs. Also tuna, lunch meat and edamame (whole shell sweet soybeans. SO good and SO healthy!) Just lots and lots and lots of protein. Not only does protein give you a feeling of satiety, but it's much easier for your body to use protein for energy and muscle building than carbohydrates. (especially simple carbs, those are the worst. Get your simple carbs from fruits, not white bread and candy.) I also switched to drinking vodka and water. No calories! If you get a splash of lime juice in it, it's soo good.
Also, instead of diet pills (which will probably negate any growth bb might give you) try adding a cayenne pepper supplement. Cayenne pepper boosts your metabolism and helps it get back to where it was. I bought a bottle of cayenne supplements at wal-mart for three bucks. I take one in the morning and one in the evening (when I remember). Now, you're not gonna drop twenty pounds with just CP but since starting it, I've went from 125(had lost 3 pounds previously) to 119.That's in about...a month. I do exercise however, I hit the gym when I have time but that's not very often. Instead, I do yoga at home and boy it sure is awesome! Find a DVD that you like (make sure it's kind of upbeat, my best friend bought me a DVD called 'yoga tummy toners' as a joke because I was complaining about how I was fat and I LOVE it!)
The moral of this story: Don't take the easy way out because in the end, you'll be even worse off than before! Instead have patience, because just like with NBE, losing weight takes patience and hard work. You can't expect things to happen for you, you've gotta take the initiative.
(: Good luck.
