I went on the pill when I was 20 and went from a size 14 to 18 within a year, this was very upsetting for obvious reasons but mainly because I knew about the weight gain side effects and I was eating healthily and regularly exercising. Due to the severe weight gain I went onto the depo injection. I'd heard horror stories about weight gain with this too, so I worked harder and joined a weight loss group. I lost about a stone and a half within the first few months of the depo. I'm still eating healthily and exercising but my weight has started to rapidly creep up again.

So basically.. is there a "chemical condom" out there that has a small chance of weight gain compared to the pill or depo? Or am I fighting a losing battle?
