    Generally, once your thyroid is being correctly treated, it shouldn't be much of an issue with weight loss. Is your doctor still experimenting with your levels, or have they found the right dosage?

    I am definitely not lying to myself or Fitness pal !

    I didn't see where anyone suggested this. It's been one week. A person's body weight is not a stationary thing- it's constantly fluctuating for various reasons. Sometimes those fluctuations mask fat loss. Wait 4-6 weeks to get a true picture of what's going on. If you started exercising just this past week, that's likely the culprit in this particular fluctuation. Your body retains extra water for muscle repair when you begin a new exercise routine.

    BTW, 1200 calories is likely too steep and unnecessary for you, and is asking a lot for the long haul :( Did you enter your stats in MFP and choose a reasonable weekly weight loss goal (only 2 lbs/week if quite obese)?

    it looks like from another post that she has 17 pounds to lose. So she should have it in for only losing 1 or only 1/2 pound a week

    So definitely not more than 1 lb/week. What do you have your profile set up for?
