I have a bad thyroid and hashimoto's, but I have a good doctor who keeps track of my levels and they are in good shape with medication. I'm losing without too much trouble so long as I keep my calories where they should be. If you are weighing everything on a food scale and tracking everything that goes in your mouth and you absolutely know you should be losing with the amount you're eating, but it's been a few weeks and you haven't lost anything, go to the doctor and get your levels checked again. (Not after just a week or so - particularly for women our weight can fluctuate too much within a menstrual cycle.)0

Try the dessicated thyroid med instead of synthroid. I started it 6 months ago and started my weight loss 4 months ago and dropped 15 lbs using intermittent fastingon the dessicated. My weight was always higher on the synthroid.0

Hey guys, I have had an under active thyroid for 15 years now and to cut a long story short I have been put on a trial dose of T3 combined with thyroxine. I have always struggled with weight loss and I usually have a good few weeks, lose a few lbs then it stops again.
Is anyone else in a similar situation? Could really do with some help/support/advice.
Thank you
