I also take Depo Provera which is associated with weight gain and slower weight loss..

Depo contains progesterone only, no estrogen. The reason it causes some people to gain weight is that it increases carb cravings. It won't make you retain the weight like estrogen will. I wa sure to talk to my OB about it when I got it. I don't want to fight to lose it, only to have it come back.
With Atkins I already had my carb cravings under control so I had no weight gain with depo and I don't belive it contributes to my sometimes slower loss. I've gone down almost 13 pounds in the last month.
