Starting Levothyroxine, what to expect?
Hello everyone! I am starting levothyroxine for my thyroid and was wondering if anyone could tell me what to expect. My doctor was very vague (take it on an empty stomach!) and the pharmacist was just as vague. I more or less wanted to know what to expect and how it will impact my weight loss journey.

HELP! I'm not losing weight
My weight loss journey began last summer, where I went from 194 to 173 between August and December. I started watching what I ate, and working out a few days a week... but nothing too extreme.

What am I doing wrong?
I would love some advice from anyone out there who may be knowledgable on this topic. Between late 2011/early 2012 I went from 197 to about 173.
