    If your meds are right you should be able to lose. I have Hashimoto's (and am hypothyroid and on meds), take a look at my ticker, that is since January 8th.

    And BTW, did a Doctor tell you that? If so, you should be on meds.

    Yes I had to get blood tests done and got a letter from them saying about my thyroid. At the minute I am not on medication, they want to repeat the bloods again in 6 weeks. Dont know what happens after that.

    I am not blaming my thyroid for my weight, I just wondered if its harder to lose weight. You have done so well with your weight loss, I hope that I do as well :)
