Friends with hypothyroidism?

I'm hypo. Just diagnosed a couple weeks ago. Just started on meds.

I'm Hypo, and have Hashimoto's as well. I struggle all the time with my weight. I'm sluggish most of the time. I also have Fibromyalgia and Sjogrens Syndrome.

Im hypo with hashimotos. On thyroxine. Have managed to lose 10kgs. Took a while but got more to go and plateauing.

Hi, i have Hypothyroidism and have also been struggling with weight my whole life

Hypo since 12+ years ago and currently on 150 mcgs Synthroid. My highest weight early on near my diagnosis was 265. Somehow by the grace of God, I was able to lose 20 lbs and get down to 245 some years ago. Since then, I have ping-pongged in the 225-245 range. Since June, I made great strides in my diet and have been able to lose 23 lbs and now down to 210. I am inching ever close to being in Onederland and 199 or under. I cannot image what emotions I will feel once I reach that, I'm almost a little scared. What has worked for this "this time" in trying to lose lbs was greatly reducing simple carbs- breads, tortillas, etc, and thus eliminating a lot of gluten. Stopped drinking soy because I had no idea how bad it could be for thyroid health. Increasing veggies and protein. It has not been easy but as long as I see progress, I am motivated to stay on board. Please fee free to add me!

I had a baby 7 months ago and developed hypothyroidism. I haven't lost a single pound since 2 weeks after the baby came. I'm on here to try and get a plan to lose weight. I was not tolerating Levothyroxine well so I began Armour thyroid on the 3rd of August and I'm doing a bit better. I truly hope I can get my levels in range so I can start losing weight!

I would've "liked" your comment but I empathize with you and I wouldn't like gaining weight either. Wishing you luck on your weight loss journey!! 25mg is a very low dose, but it may take awhile before your doctor starts to really adjust the dosage. I was on it for almost a month @ 50mcg and was feeling really ill on it. I discontinued it and began on Armour thyroid. Finally saw an Endochronologist today for my first visit with him and he told me it will take a few months before I really begin to see the effects of the medication beginning to work. He even mentioned that when #'s are in range, sometimes symptoms still persist too. I guess the only way to truly beat the fatigue is to take the meds and try to push yourself through exercise. Here's to us and our weight loss journey!!
