I just found out I have a sluggish thyroid. Dr wants to put me on meds. I heard it is difficult to lose weight with a sluggish thyroid. Any suggestions?

It is difficult but with the meds it should help and make things closer to normal. Good luck!0

I have been on thyroid meds since I was 18 (11 years now). That being said, as long as I took my meds daily I have never had any problem losing as long as I was tracking my calories and working out.
Good luck!0 -

Been on meds for 17+ years. Five years ago it was completely removed. It can make weight loss a challenge, but it can still be done. Keep up some exercise. That has been the key for me.0
