eating less doing excerise struggle to lose even 1lb a week

I'm on depro too, up your exercise maybe? See depo makes me gain weight and so does insulin from having diabetes, so I've learned to always enjoy and try to exercise as much as possible. I haven't gained any weight from either lately, or I have but I've worked it off. Not sure.

depo doesn't make you gain in itself, it increases your appetite which makes you want to eat more. I was on it for a few years too. Have you had your thyroid tested? I'm hypothyroid and I lost a lb a month with busting my butt the same way.

dr wouldn't put me on depo because i am already overweight. he said people generally gain 10 lbs or so by being on it.

i am eating on average 1400 calories a day. i excerise - 45min walk three times a week, 10 min jog (in place) at least 4 times a week and i am struggling to lose 1lb a week. can anyone help me. is it because i am on depro prov (injections for the pill) is this what is stopping me losing weight

I don't think that's the problem. I am actually having the same issue and I'm not on depo prov. I've exercised SOOO much in 5 days, and I've gained 1 lb, and haven't lost anything. I've tried researching this myself yesterday, and I'm pretty sure it's just that I'm eating too little. I'm going to try and eat back at least half my calories every day from exercise, and see if this helps. If you want you can friend me and I will keep you updated on how my progress goes.

Make sure your intake of calories or nutrients are NOT below your BEE. (This is the minimum calories needed to sustain normal body function. ) The BEE is determined by using the Harris Benedict Equation. Once you have that as a base, you should NEVER drop below those calories unless under the advise of a physician. Adding your activity will give you additional calories based on how active and how frequently active you are. This is referred to as total calories. Any caloric intake that falls between the BEE and the total calories is safe for weight loss and will still allow for muscle gain provided your protein intake is adequate and contains all of your Essential amino acids.

Here is a link to determine your BEE and total calories.

Also eat 3 meals and 3 snacks a day. Weight loss is as much about consistent sugar/insulin levels as calories. Drink lots of water to add volume in your stomach to help avoid that empty feeling.
Somebody on a 1500 calorie diet for example should eat 3 meals of 300 kcals each and 3 snacks of 100 kcals. each

Are you eating a good 1400 calories? If you'd like, make your diary public. There are a lot of people here with good things to offer as far as help, comments and critique.

Actually I think your better off losing 1 lb a week. It's a healthy way and more sustainable in the long run. I think it will be easier to maintain. Try changing up your diet and exercise. You need to challenge yourself.

It could be the shot or it could be what you are eating. MFP tells me that I can only lose a max of 1.4 pounds a week. Honestly, it is probably 1 lb a week and when I'm not being very careful it has historically been 0.5 pounds a week.

The hormones in the shot are tricking your body into thinking it is pregnant, so you are going to retain water and have difficulty losing weight. It is also labeled a Class I carcinogen by the World Health Organization and can cause strokes, etc.

I don't know how tall you are or what your lowest calorie count that you can safely eat. MFP tells me that mine is 1200. So I aim for that and at least an hour of exercise a day. At least really, but I've got one of those stubborn famine survival body types that just wants to hold on to weight for dear life.

It's hard to really help when we can't see your diary.
