What type of exercise are you doing to burn the calories and boost your metabolism?
Cutting back calorie intake will not boost the metabolic rate....unfortunately only exercise will. :( lol I know....it is hard! Walking even at a medium pace is excellent!
I just googled graves disease and weight and came across this link:

Hope it helps.
Hello! Sorry I haven't gotten back sooner but the notices went to my old address so I didn't realize I had replies.
I went to my Endo last week and confirmed that I have actually lost 8 pounds! I know that isn't much but it was encouraging. As you know, its terribly hard to lose weight with thyroid issues.
Its difficult to form a regular exercise routine but I am trying to work in my yard more. My job keeps me inside and off my feet for the most part.
We are still trying though. Hubby has lost between 10 & 15 pounds! Yay!
Congrats as I know how hard it is with a thyroid and Graves to lose weight.
Keep up the good work!
