Your levels being stable can affect your weight loss (if you have any).
I found I didnt start to lose weight until my levels were stable.
Any amount of exercise I did ...did absolutely ZILCH.
Except make me more tired than I already was.
In time when levels stabalise...so too does the weight.
But dont forget that the weight BEFORE treatment is HYPER/HYPO weight and if you was Hyper...then you may not get back to that weight.
I gained 16kgs (hyper) and weighed 71kgs....I now weight 65kgs.
I very much doubt I will lose any more as it was HYPER weight prior to RAI.
Hope that helps.

You may need an adjustment of medication if your exercising brought on weight loss.

Hi and welcome!
No exercise will not affect your levels-  but when you take supplements can, soy consumption can, and how you take your medicine can. :)
