Thank you for your inspiration. I too are struggling with the same thing. No matter how hard you try the pounds stay on. But I keep going even if it takes a little longer.0

I have had Hypo since I was 7 yrs but didn't have problems keeping off weight really until I had my daughter
Have any of you noticed that if you take certain generic pills they don't work as well. I was 135 before I got pregnant, had complications and gained about 55 pounds with pregnancy. I was bouncing between 162 -173 for years (she is 8 yro now) and last year with working on my feet all day got down to 155. Lowest since before I got pregnant...but now I have ballooned up to 187 (I believe due to a few things) but I changed from getting one brand of levothyroxin from Walgreens to Walmart brand...and that seems to be when I started gaining weight. I am definitely going to look into this... I may have to hunt down the manufacturer

Me too - really struggling to lose weight and weigh more now than when I was pregnant. Thanks for the inspiring words - really want to lose some weight before daughters wedding at end of May. Too tired to exercise as well which doesn't help - feel rough but dr said blood tests show as "normal"!!!0

You can do it i know its hard i come from a family that isnt aftaid to say mean things and ive grown up hearing such mean comments towards my weight.. Take it easy one step at a time eat smaller portions you will see results trust me! Best of luck0

@Xavierzsada i hear you! I have gained so much from 2013 when i found out i had hypothyroidism... I am on the highest meds right now which is 100mcg synthyroid and i feel so much better i switched to this high dosage about 2 weeks ago and noticed a change in my energy. Take ur medications and get blood work done to see if its working, keep the food at small portions and work out doesnt matter what you do just work out. Goodluck0
