Answer 1

Depo-provera is a horrible drug!! I was on it for almost two and a half years. It's like it almost puts your body into menopause will you are on it. Since you don't have a period for so long it can do a lot of damage to your bones that is irreversible. It will effect your metabolism and lots of different things. Look up depoprovera.com or depoproverahorrorstories.com
You will understand what I am talking about. I found it after I was looking up info about it after I started having all kinds of problems. Also recently diagnosed with osteoporosis and I am only 27!! (With NO family history of it) So, no one can tell me depo had no part in that!

Whenever you take a drug, you take a gamble just like the tens of thousands of people who died from Vioxx. Good carbs like celery and carrots will never make you fat. Bad carbs like cake will, but you don't need to know the whole science of glycemic load. You need to re-learn how to eat so you can become thin and healthy. Find out about fastest way to lose weight, most effective exercise, good and bad carbs, water retention and secret trick used by models to flatten their tummy before an event.

Reading a book will take you hours but the information on a post, taking minutes to read, is not enough. The webpage below has just enough to know what you need to know. Links page has gov. BMI calculater to find out just how much overweight you are (teens plug in your age to compare to others your age). Learn how to nourish your body thin, instead of starving your body fat.

Answer 3

The hardest thing about loosing weight is cutting back on consuming stuff. Make it count by eating low/no sugar and salt approximately 2000 calories per day (about a fist size of meat)

Answer 4

depo provera does not slow your metabolism, but increases your apetite. if your still not losing weight the cause is something else. while 160 minutes of walking a day should help, you also need to do some heart pumping cardio that raises your heart rate and has you breathing slightly heavy (but still able to speak) for about 30 minutes per day. you may also want to have a thyroid panel done to rule out hypothyroidism as the cause.
