Janie, No, I wish that 5 pounds a month was normal for me but my weight has been stuck for months while I lost 3 dress sizes. I was worried that my weight had stabilized but now I am hopeful that I will get to my goal. I have been sticking with 3 meals a day plus a protein shake. I quit snacking for the most part--occassionally. I am trying to find the place where I am satisfied but just and not eating more than that. I am actually eating more real food and less sugar free diet type food. I am pretty excited. Katy

Laura- I take 50,000 mg of Vit D once a week cuz mine was low too- that was one of the reasons they had me do the bone scan- my bone scan came back fine by the way. Have they done a full blood test- my other stuff was wacky too... Holly

I absolutely think that the Depo could have something to do with your weight...any flux in hormones can have various effects throughout the body. As for the Vit D....get a little extra sunlight, too. Sunlight helps your body to produce Vit D. http://ods.od.nih.gov/factsheets/vitamind.asp Thought that you might like to read this article to get an idea of how and why Vit D works the way it does. And, you are over 100#'s down from your highest weight...definitely something to be proud of!! ~Suz

Richard, that's terrific! I'm so happy for you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Suz!!! I thought I was crazy, but I noticed that a couple pounds extra makes a huge difference! After plastics I got up to 145 (I was so swollen, it was crazy) I went in at 122! Anyways, I was 125 and wanted to get into my jeans. OMG they were tight. 123 lbs, they fit perfectly. I would have never thought that a couple pounds could make a difference in the way your pants fit, ya know? So, no I don't think it's all in your head, unless we're both crazy? lol!
