I was diagnosed shortly after giving birth to my daughter 2 years ago. I am still struggling with my weight.
I went to my doctor for my check up (on my levels) and he said the synthroid was working just fine. I told him it wasn't because I was still overweight.
Well he shook my butt in gear. He told me I could lose weight with normal levels but it was up to me to get the weight off. The Synthroid would not be a magic pill for me. (I was so hoping the weight would melt off of me)
I am very sensitive to what I can and cannot put in my body. I have to be strict. I eat small meals every 3-4 hours and exercise regularly. Losing weight with Hypothryoidism is hard but not impossible. Unfortunately, most of us have to work a little harder to get the weight off.
