Thyroid concern?

Posts: 121 Member
I have hypothyroidism. I have been on and off 75mg of levothyroxine since being diagnosed, around 13 yrs old. I'am 25 now.
Wondering if this will have any effect of weight loss? I get my levels checked every couple of months, and they always on point.
So far ive had no problems losing weight at all, except in my stomach, where it refused to move an inch. :(

    Very sorry for the delay in responding. This is outside my scope of knowledge regarding the medication, however you often find that people with thyroid issues, whether under control with medication or not, have a lower BMR and TDEE. They also seem to do better with lower (not necessarily low) carbs and higher protein and fats.

    You say that you have had no issues losing weight which is a good thing. Where fat comes from first is genetic and often goes last from our stomachs - you just need to be patient and it will go from there eventually.
