I have been Hypo for two and a half years. Right now my levels are all off kilter, but for me going the low-carb route worked. It took me about 13 months to loose the weight I have lost and I have been doing low-carb since July. I know many don't agree with it, but for me, it has worked.
Good luck!

I'm hypo... been on the same dosage for years even through pregnancy it didn't change! I've been losing an average of a lb a week. So, seems like things are working normally! I try to eat a lot of protein (not necessarily low carb).0

Me Me me! Low carb is the only thing that worked for me!!!!! I'm on 137 mcg of sybthroid. And I have lost 42 lbs.0

I didn't even begin to lose weight no matter how hard I worked out until I got my proper medication dosage worked out. Now it's nothing special, just working out regularly (3 times a week) and using MFP to track my calories. I've lost 20 lbs since february.0

Yes I am since 20 years, it seems I have plateaued after losing 22 lbs, now since 3 week I am stucjk no matter how much I train and cycle, the weight is the same, but I did loose inches0

Hypo + PCOS = low carb. Now that my meds are stable (and I got a 2nd one added on), I'm able to lose weight.0

i am hypo (hashimoto's) and pcos
i eat high protein and low carb, it really made the difference. if you do eat carbs eat only complex and gluten free.
also VERY important.... get a good endocrinologist!! one that aims for the 'ideal' thyroid levels, not just within normal range. i am now at .5 TSH and it makes a huge difference.0 -
I was diagnosed May 2010. Since then I have lost whatever is on the ticker there. I plateaued for about a year after an initial loss, then gained back 25 and had the get my meds adjusted.
Back on track using Body by Vi/Visalus. 21.2 lbs since March 5.0 -

I am curious about the connection between low carb and hypothyroidism?!0 -
Mine was removed but my meds leave me with the same symptoms. I don't lose weight so much. It is a struggle. I lost 3 whole pounds last month.0

I am hypothyroid for about 10 years, it's always been a struggle for me to keep my weight I have always had to work extra had just to move things around. I found a book recently that was called the Thyroid Diet, it's not about a diet it's more of an eductational book of your thryoid, lately my weigt increased a lot, and its been very hard to keep it down. But from what I read in that book, people w/ Thyroid issue do better w/ low card diets. it's a very informational book. I started getting back on track in january and it only seems now things are starting to move very slow but they are moving...feel free to add me for motiviation.,,I totally relate to the frustrations of the hypothrhyod..good luck!!0

I was diganosed a couple of years ago. Mine comes with high levels of stress and poor diet and exercise and goes with good diet and exercise (which controls my stress).
Look at your blood type too, I am an O negitive with O's commonly known to have problems with thyroid levels. I follow the blood type diet for O's which is low in carbs high in protein. Although I can eat brown rice, spelt flour, ezekeil bread products (because they are grains which have been allowed to germinate which results in a higher protein product)
If mine gets really bad I control mine through medication (thyroxine) this is when I eat refined food and stress out as I do with study and work etc.
I try not take the medication and am learning to control my thyroid hormones naturally. The body does like all those chemical over a long period of time.0
