Hi every one! My name is Angela and I am 25 year old mother of five and just inherrited my nephew. I did not have all five kids, three are my step-children, but they are mine none the less.
I generally lose weight very easily, until now. After having my son I got on a birth control in the form of a shot, called the depo shot. That was the biggest mistake I have ever made. I had lost the 55lbs. that I had gained with my son, but when I started the shots I gained that back and then some. So, now I am at the highest I have ever been, but I carry it will with my height. I do not want to have the health issues that a lot of health problems that a lot of my family members have. I have never had to work out until now. I am not worried about getting back into a size 6 or 8. I want to be fisically fit again. I feel that I need to lose at least 50+ lbs. What do have to lose?

My wife gained about 60 pounds from the depo shot. My personal feeling is that shot is not healthy for women as it makes them gain a lot of wegiht. Don't get me wrong, there were some wonderful side effects from it (no time of the month for 3 years!) However, my wife hated the weight gain, and when she went off, she dropped about 8 dress sizes in one year. Any chance to find an alternate version of birth control?
