Yup! And successful too.

Work hard, eat light (low cal) and exercise my butt off.

If I don't watch it, I gain very easily. So I just have to always stay in
"diet mode". But I will allow indulgences occassionally.

I've been on Depo for about 5 yrs now. I never had alot to lose, but I was
at my heaviest at about the time I started Depo and I lost about 20lbs or so
while on it. It was slow going and took alot of little changes over a long
period of time, but eventually the hard work paid off and the weight came
off, the muscle mass retained and I look good.

I've been on depo for several years. I lost the weight I needed to (about
30 lbs) the same way other people do. Eat less, exercise more. Depo really
hasn't impacted my diet or weight loss at all.

It's good to hear that others have been successful in losing weight on
Depo. I am going to continue to diet and exercise because no matter
what, that is the only solution. I just have to figure out how much to
diet and how much to exercise to get the weight moving down. Right
now, I have decided that the most important factor is the number of
calories that I consume.

Thanks a lot! I have done some weight training in the last 7 months
but I know I need to ramp it up. The beginners workout #2 will be my
starting place, as I work out at home. This should get me over my Depo
Provera blues!
