Well, you could be gaining width while
loosing muscle weight. One pound isn't
remarkable and is really attributable to
the scale being different from the one you
use at home. I'd say it's more likely that
you are in fact NOT losing any weight.
You're gaining fat.
The only way to stop it would be to not
get another shot.

I wouldn't go by sizes, I'd actually
measure and see if the measurements are
changing. You girls know how sizes can be
so unreliable!!

I agree! In one brand I'll just slip into
a 3, and in another brand I struggle
zipping up a 5!! I would measure with a
measuring tape and compare that way.
Gaining weight is a side effect of the
depot. If it is bothersome, I would talk
to your doctor about not taking the next
shot and switching to another form of
birth control.

I was a size 6 when I got married, but my
wedding dress was a size 12! Lol...
