Hi Im just curious if anyone here with hypothyroid has trouble losing weight in the winter and feels better in the summer? I always have trouble in the winter no matter what I change or don't change I don't know if its just me or if anyone else struggles with it. I also have seasonal depression and lots of people say vit D is good but not having the thyroid gland makes lots of things hard, even though im on synthroid which im only on 50mcgs which is very low :(.. Would love to hear that im not alone..

    i'm in the same boat. I've had Hasimoto's for more than 20 years and always have problems with my thyroid and depression in the Fall/Winter months. Luckily my Dr.'s recognize this and we increase meds at that time. I also use a full spectrum light at work and I feel that helps too. My goal is to lose .5 pound a week, but very rarely happens. Also 1 year into menopause so I don't know if that's hindering weight loss too. Feels pretty frustrating.
