    Yes....I've been on medication for being hypothyroid for 10 years. It doesn't mean you can't lose weight.....it may be harder, but you can still do it.:smile:
    There have been several recent posts on this issue. Do a search, and you'll find lots of information.

    Yes, I have it and still lose weight. I didnt find out till I had already lost 75 lbs. I take the meds for it now and have no side effects except I feel better and have more energy.

    I have been hypothyroid for 28 years, my internist said weight loss is not impossible but it might take a little more effort, as you can see from my ticker I have lost 13 pounds in a little over a month following a 1200 calorie eating plan and exercising daily. I take synthroid .175 daily. Losing the weight is very possible! :)

    Yes, I was diagnosed with hypohyroidism when I was about 12, and have been on a steadily increasing dosage of synthroid (levothyroxine technically) ever since. Why do you ask?
