Trying Atkins Again After Depo Provera

[cre8ivredhed]

I was on the Depo Provera injection for 5 1/2 years. My last shot was January 11th, 2005. I've gained 20 lbs. in the last 4 years and tried Atkins twice with no weight loss, just inch loss. Has anyone experienced lack of weight loss while on Depo?

It's been 20 weeks since my last Depo shot and I decided to try Atkins again. I'm on Day 3 of the Induction Phase. Question #2: Anyone post Depo? What kind of weight loss results have you seen?

Check out the success forum, you will see and read some amazing stories.

Inches/pounds doesnt matter as long as your losing something =).

Hi there,

and that you found this great board,

as i know all of us have, maybe if you ask your question in the womens forum about depo you 'll have better results with answers..

I've also been on depo for a few years and when I first did Atkins in Jan of 2004 I lost 65 lbs. between that date and Oct of 2004, while continuing the shot. So, it didn't get in my way at all. I stalled and then eventually fell off the wagon, so that's why there isn't more to report since then.

You should be fine. Good luck to you!

YES

I can honestly say, that it is harder when on Depo. Lots of scientific info to back that up. i am on depo and only 25 with not much to lose. i work my a** off to lose the bare minimum. But it CAN be done.
