I agree that if you thyroid levels aren't good for you (not just in normal range), you will have a hard time losing weight, even with the met.

Please post your most current thyroid test results, along with reference ranges, so members can help assess your thyroid function.

Are you being treated for your thyroid also?  If you don't treat your thyroid you will have a very hard time loosing weight.  

I was also told I had PCOS but after getting my dosage right with naturethroid many of my symptoms went away.
