At what BMI did you lose your period? Anyone lose it because of weight?

Hi, I guess this is sorta personal, but I would like to know how many of you did not have a period because of your weight. I went on Depo like 2 years ago for birth control, but it disturbed me that I had no periods for so long. I did not get my next injection which was scheduled for October of 2000, and have had no injections of it since. I know sometimes it takes a while for your period to come back after Depo, but this is getting ridiculous! I am wondering if maybe it has gone away becuse of my weight, since I've gained about 30lbs. since my period disappeared with Depo. My BMI is now at 43, and I am just wondering if that is a high enough BMI for my period to stop. At what BMI did you guys lose your period? I am really interested to know. Thanks so much!
