I was diagnosed with it at the same time I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer. It is an autoimmune disease where the immune system attacks the thyroid. Make sure that you get your neck checked regularly, my surgeon told me that people with Hashimotos have a higher risk of thyroid cancer. It's good that yours was found, I guess I had had it for many years without diagnosis or treatment. Once they get your thyroid hormones regulated you should find it easier to lose weight, it will still take lots of work, but you will find you feel much better. Good luck and don't give up
