Low thyroid weight loss?

Good morning!

Trying to lose weight with low thyroid, two young children and very little time to myself.

Very frustrated with myself as even though I work out I’m not seeing any results.

I’m hoping to tackle the food side of things for results.

Would love advice, tips and general help.

Thank you!

    You have to eat less, but not very much less. Start with MFP's suggestion, log correctly so that you're doing it for real, weigh yourself regularly, be patient, and adjust course according to long term results.

    I'm in the same boat. I have hypothyroidism caused by Hashi's. You need to get your thryroid levels to optimum levels. Then the weight will start coming off with CICO.

    I am, yes.

    I’ve been working out twice a week for two months and haven’t seen any changes. It’s so frustrating and disheartening

    Aww, thank you for your advice. I need to get onto the Drs tomorrow and find out my levels!

    Have the same issue. My dosage went up and tried to at least run/walk everyday. I'm barely getting progress now

    As long as you're on the right dosage of medication, the thyroid shouldn't be too big a factor. Really focus on the food. If, after awhile you are always under calories and are working out, and nothing's changing, then see the doc about changing the dosage.
