Make sure you're not taking anything else with your thyroid med, for at least an hour. (I take mine when the cat's automatic feeder goes off at 6 and then go back to sleep for an hour). That was what was messing me up- I was taking it with my allergy pill first thing in the morning, and my numbers just kept dropping. Moved my allergy pill to 'after breakfast' and my numbers started climbing again.

yup... learned this once i switched endocrinologists. also no caffeine for at least an hour as well.

You can lose, although it might take more work. I had my thyroid removed because of the big C. The first year was tough because my medicine had to be adjusted several times before I found the right level. I gained weight and had no energy to exercise- needing 14 hours of sleep. I have found success doing the following:
1. Calories in/calories out- track your food. That said, don't eat crap.
2. Take your meds. Make sure the dosage is correct.
3. Sleep
4. Exercise-your metabolism will thank you!

I took synthroid for 23 years and struggled to control my weight. In April of 2015 I started taking WP Thyroid and immediately started losing weight. I lost 10 lbs before I plateaued. I found that changing to the WP Thyroid also helped me increase my exercise intensity. Now I feel like I can exercise and control my diet and see the benifits. I not at my goal weight yet, but the MyFit app and my activity monitor are now helping stay the course.

I'm on levothyroxin pretty high dose. I had thyroid cancer. Removed thyroid, had cancer again. 5 surgeries, 4 radio-iodine treatments. 2 years ago I lost 30lbs. Started working a full time job, didn't take care of my needs and gained back 20. Decided I need to take care of me first. I've lost 8.2lbs in 8 weeks! Right
on target I would say

Hi

I have Hashimoto's - developed thyroid problems during my first pregnancy. - So far I've lost 7 KG. I 've tried to lose in the past by following calorie restriction but eventually found that I couldn't lose and that my symptoms were always there. Over the past year I've done more reading about Hashi and have slowly made some dietary changes... first cutting out caffeine, soy, then gluten --- now I'm on AIP Paleo/ calorie restriction- and my symptoms are lessening by the day and like I said I'm losing.
I've come to realize that this isn't going to be a quick fix for me and that I need to be very mindful of what my body is using for fuel.

It's hard. But it's worth it!

Make sure you have them check your t3 and t4. Keep your TSH around 1. You can lose weight, no problem if you are on the correct dose of medicine. I take 200 mcg.

Fyi... You should not be taking synthroid with any foods, meds, or vitamins at the same time, especially those with calcium. You should take synthroid on an empty stomach with a glass of water as soon as you wake up and wait at least 30 minutes before putting anything else in your mouth.

Week I've been doing it wrong
