Help! Can't lose the weight gained because of hypothyroidism
by joshzoey, Apr 09, 2008 09:57PM
i'm 22, found out i was hypothroid about 2 years ago, by then i had gained almost 60 pounds. I take 75mg, i exercise 40 minutes everyday, i eat only fish and white meats plus veggies, very little sugar and bread. Why can't i lose any weight? Nothing is working, please help. Is there some sort of pill or type of exercise i need?

I have come to the realization that until I get my TSH level normal and it stays there - I will have a difficult time getting those pounds off. Stay on the best diet you can and keep trying - but you have to be at the right TSH for you to have your body work off those pounds.
Find an exercise program you ENJOY and will committ to daily and just do that until your thyroid starts to behave. :)
I don't have any good advice for you, but thought I'd let you know that I'm in the same boat.
Keep up the healthy habits and talk to your doctor about your frustrations- there may be different types of treatments available that you haven't tried yet.
I have switched to Armour and now it's the reverse
