I lost loads of weight too when i was on depo,yet most of my friends gained weight on it,it was definitely the injection because i came off it and went back to my normal weight,I'm 7 stone normally and i went down to 6 stone 2 in no time,the only thing i could think is it effected my metabolism if that's possible

Get off of depo! Its horrible! usually women GAIN weight while on the shot. Give it some time I'm sure you'll start gaining.
I'd strongly recommend not getting the shot anymore, I was on it for four years and found out that after five years you need a bone density check as it seriously messes with your bone health.

your weight is dangerously low you need to stop the depo injections and try another form of contraception. I lost some weight when i first started the depo 8 years ago though it soon settles.. though i no longer have periods this is down to the depo even though i have had a child since i started taking it though no periods for me is a good thing i hate them!!
