The information stated above is from the US Government website of Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) 
My age is 25. 
So according to the government site my weight and height would still be classified as Normal Weight, not underweight 

I'm going on a trip tomorrow for 4 days to St. Louis, MO. I hope that I can maintain a healthy diet while I'm there. I have a feeling I am going to over indulge. 

I am 5'3.

108-110 would be an ideal weight for me. 

I won't do anything drastic, I am just going to re-route my eating style to cut back on the sweets. I have a sweet tooth that needs to be tamed! lol 

But by eating more healthy and working out more often than I have been I should be able to see some results. 

7000 cal deficit? Yikes! Where can I find that info? On Calorie-Count somewhere or somewhere else?

I thought I was the only person that gained weight while on Depro! 

When I was 18 years old I started Depro. I weighed 114 pounds at the time, and had never been over that!

After 3 rounds of depro shots I had gained to well over 165 pounds. People thought I was expecting a baby!

I am now 24 years old and weigh 116 pounds. I am almost to where I want to be as far as my weight. It took me a few years to lose all the weight. 

The first few years after getting off the depro I wasn't as motivated to lose the weight as I am now. I was actually pretty depressed over the weight gain. 

My best advice to you is for you to stop the shots, start counting calories, and use the tool on here to see how many calories you should be consuming. I consume about 1500 calories a day. Keep up on the exercise too! I go 5 times a week, doing 5 hours of cardio a week and 5 hours of weight training a week. 

If you go full force you shouldn't take as long as I did to get the weight off. 

What are your start weight and weight gain amounts? How many calories a day do you consume, and how many times a week do you work out?

I had better luck on the pill. I didn't gain of that. They really should have more awareness about the weight gain on the shot. That was awful and I feel for you!

I'm back up 2 lbs. Ohhhh man 

I've been working out everyday! But my calories have slipped a few times. 

I guess I need to brush myself off and get back on the horse!

How much have you lost?  50 pounds

Is this the 1st time or a repeat performance? On going process.

Are you finished? Nope, I still have 9 pounds to go!

How long did it take?  In total it took me 2 years. 

How long have you kept it off?  I started a healthy lifestyle in 2004. I maintained 113 lbs for a whole year. I have been between 110-116lbs for the past 2 years now. 

What approach did you use? I started calorie counting and keeping a food journal. I had an accountability buddy and worked out at the gym 3-6 times a week. I cut back on fast food and stopped drinking soda. 

I've experienced that too. Like a delay in the results of either loss or gain. Usually it's a 2 day lag. Best advice is just to stay on track, even if the scale doesn't show the results right away.... because eventually it will. And if you slack a couple times just remember to get right back on track! 

4th of July did a number on me  But the scale still moved down... and I felt good in my bikini at the beach!

Starting Weight on 6/26: 120 lbs

7/3: 117 lbs

7/10: 116 lbs

Goal weight 108 lbs...... down 4 total, 8 more to go 

Let's keep it up!!

I know it's not Thursday yet.....

So hopefully I maintain this loss until then and not jinx myself:

I weighed myself this morning and I weigh 116.8 lbs. Down from Wednesdays weight of 119.6 lbs. 

Yippie!!

I have gone to the gym 4 times this past week, and my calories have averaged at 1600 cals a day.

I think I will achieve better results if I follow CC's recommended tool of 1254 (1300 calories) a day. 

I hope everyone is seeing success as well. 

*Last night I was already at 1300 cals, and felt satisfied and my husband made the most delicious smelling pizza. It took all my will power to refuse a slice! I'm trying to stay satisfied through out the day and not over do it by bingeing on yummy junk food!*

My biggest accomplishment so far has been running the L.A. Marathon last Sunday. 26.2 miles with out stopping. I love my healthy lifestyle 

Overall I have lost 50 pounds with counting calories and exercise over the past few years. The great part too is that I have maintained my weight for a good year now. I feel confident that this is a change I will stick with through out my life time!
