    does it stop...?

    Hey guys whats going on... i was just wondering. I just got the birth control shot the other day, and im worried... I was reading all about it and it says that some people gain weight! I havent weighed myself yet but i will on Friday. Do you think that will keep me from reaching my goal!? I feel like im in a push pull situation! What am i to do!? Someone please help...!?

    Denie,

    When I took the shot the first time the doctor told me I might gain 10 pounds over the first three months. However, you don't gain that every month and not all people even gain it. I wouldn't worry...it might slow you down this week, but your body will adjust. Keep the faith!

      it is a mute point now since you already got the shot. Your genetics will determine how much if any trouble you will have with your weight loss. you can take steps to improve you loss by working harder on your exercise part of your Atkins and sticking very carefully to the correct eating.

      Do you really care if you becoame the smaller healtheir you and take a few months longer to getr there? the point is you are going to get there.

      Happy low carbing.

        And just think - if you were NOT on Atkins the effects (if any) of your BC shot would be worse than they will be now.
        Wondering how to get 'most' of your net carbs from your induction veggies?
        Take a look at the thread from the latest Veggie Challenge to see how others manage it!

          I have depo provera and it may have made me gain weight - or it may have been the amount of food I was stuffing my face with Either way I'm still on it, and am definately losing weight since doing Atkins. It may be slowing things down a bit, I'll never know, but it's too handy to give up
