For the most part, I do like running but when I feel like "I can't do this any longer!" I honestly think of how much I want to be thin and beautiful. It isn't really even a health thing for me, I just want to be beautiful. That is incredibly shallow but that's how I personally push through, and that is what I tell myself…

Emily, I definitely understand! I had serious pregnancy symptoms to the point where I was looking at maternity clothes. I was not pregnant and now that my husband and I want to conceive, it is discouraging!! I am working out like crazy and seeing no weight loss. I took my last shot 8 months ago and hope my cycle will soon…

I am five foot three, weight 171 pounds and my measurements are 37, 33, 34

I had no problem with not having periods, it's the fact that I'm basically infertile now that I don't like....

I recently found this old post on myfitnesspal message board! Thanks for your encouragement, Everyone! http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/476259-depo-provera-birth-control-hindering-my-weight-loss?page=2#posts-15875216

I recently posted about Depo and almost all the reviews I received from the myfitnesspal community were telling me it was my fault and not the birth control. I am glad to see an older post showing it isn't just me! Your depo will make you gain weight, even if you maintain the exact same diet and level of activity. Hang in…

No offense but to say a chiropractic knows nothing makes you sound really unintelligent!

Actually I was asking for similar experiences. If my chiropractor, MD, and nutritionist are saying I am doing 100% and the only difference between now and ever is the Depo, it doesn't take a lot of brains to realize it is the depo.

Thanks a million Chandanista! You're very sweet!

Thanks, Sweetie for the encouragement!

I didn't abandon my post, I have a job. Also, I am logging accurately and I think you are rude and have reported your post.

I, too, was told that Depo was used to chemically castrate males. I do not know of the accuracy of that statement, though.

Thank you Kathleen! You are amazing and I appreciate everything you wrote! I am trying very hard, now. I agree about the diary thing. Some of the people demanding me to open it seemed a little scary!! Thanks so much!

Yep! That is what my MD told me, too! Thanks Girlie!

Thank you for your thoughts and encouragement! Right now I'm not worried about protection (I am not ovulating so until I am, no worries!) Thanks a million! Bless you!

I think you summed it up well, that we're all different. I haven't gained much weight (maybe 15 pounds) so reading that some women gained 40-60, I do feel thankful! And we don't know, maybe if I discontinued diet and exercise, I would be a lot heavier. Thank you for your input!

Thank you so much for your insight! God bless!

Thank you for all your posts, Paige! I was definitely looking for similar experiences and after all I wanted to know what everyone had going on with Depo. I am sort of disregarding the posts from male writers who don't have these hormonal issues.

You are amazing for posting this! Thank you!!

Thanks Kate Auch!

Thank you for your perspective! I am having definite pregnancy symptoms (I feel like I'm mental!!)

Thanks Paige for some cold, hard facts!! Bless you!

Thank you for the encouragement! I sure do hope when it's out of my system, all this hard work will finally pay off! Thanks, Doll!

Thanks Miss Jo JO! Love the kitten!

Thank you for your encouragement! Glad I'm not alone!

OH girl! LOL

Doc said to keep waiting. There isn't anything he can do, short of giving me more hormones. And don't be rude.

Thanks Paige! Right now I am detoxing from all birth control. I was hoping to lose weight before my husband and I have a baby. Since Depo, I can't lose weight AND I am not ovulating. So no weight loss and no baby. Thanks for your encouragement!! BTW: you are BEAUTIFUL!

I did just want motivation and support and some people are debating! So sorry!!

The shot for some reason makes your body think you're pregnant, according to my nutritionist. I have been off the shot for 8 months but was on it about 8 months, also. Just hoping for some change.
