Are you avoiding goitrogens? I just started, in the hopes that it will help.
I've read that soy is terrible for the thyroid.0 -
I couldn't lose an ounce and actually gained without over-eating before they fixed me. Once the dumb thyroid was gone and I got the pills, the weight started coming off. I don't lose as fast as some, but who cares? I'm losing!
Make sure you tell your endo your problems and don't skip appointments.
Don't eat for 30-60 minutes after you take your pill and no calcium, iron or other things for three hours. (I can't remember what all to avoid those first three hours, so I just eat fruit, lol.)0 -
I am hypo to and on 137 of synthroid. What works for me is being consistent in my workouts and keeing carbs especially sugar at a minimum. If your levels are under control any regimen should work for you especially if you are consistent.0

my body is changing, and my muscles are toning up
Great progress so far! From what I heard from friend of mine that are hypothyroid, it's eating regularly, managing stress and sleep, taking meds, and working out (combo of cardio and weights). Then the weight comes off slowly.0 -
i have weighed in the 190s for about a year, I went from 145 2 years ago to almost 200 lbs now. I have hypothyroidism and ive been trying for a long long time to get my weight under control. I started tracking my calories for about a week now, and ive been working out some for two weeks. so I hope this helps me. I guess just stay positive, and keep pushing forward!0

I have Hashimoto's (autoimmune thyroid disease). I lost way more slowly than most MFPers, but I did it just like everybody else—by logging everything I eat & drink accurately & honestly.
The advice in this post worked for me: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/1080242-a-guide-to-get-you-started-on-your-path-to-Sexypants
MFP has two thyroid groups:

I don't use my hypothyroidism as a "crutch". I have increased my walks to 2.5 miles a day, and when I first started I was only walking 1 mile a day. I also suffer from restrictive lung disease, which causes my lungs to function at 60%, POTS (postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome), and dysautomnia, when I stand up my blood pressure drops over 40mm/hg which causes me to pass out quite a bit. I am pushing my body as far as I safely can, and it is up to me and that is why I am out there everyday in the Texas heat, doing what I can >end rant
on a side note, is anyone taking armor thyroid? I spoke to my PA yesterday and she is referring me back to endocrinology to talk about switching. I also had labs done and should have the results in a few days.0 -
