Question

Does anyone here have hypothyroidism? I need to lose weight and having so much trouble.  

Answer 1

I do. It’s coming off slow. 1 lb. a week.

@dear97773 - that’s a nice steady weight loss!

@marmawke thanks it’s working and I’m sticking to it.  

Answer 2

Hashimoto's and I've lost 20 since starting in January. I combine with Intermittent Fasting

Comments

@fitzgerald do you mind me asking what time frames you do the intermittent fasting? I know there are a lot of variations and also have Hashimoto’s and am struggling

Answer 3

Its hard. but you can lose. just expect it to be slow and stall often. oh i have both hypo and hashimoto's.  

Answer 4

Talk to your Dr about what options you should consider.  

Answer 5

I do. my doctor had to put me on real synthroid and the man made one. My body wasn't accepting the "fake" synthroid like it should. It has helped. I am down 16. 2 in 3 weeks.  

Answer 6

I take NP Thyroid. I try to keep a low gluten diet.  

Answer 7

Me and it is horrible

Answer 8

I have it and wonder sometimes if this is impeding my weight loss. My TSH levels are normal now (because of levothyroxin), so it seems like it shouldn't matter?  

Comments

@maroney Dido! I have researched and researched and all claim that this does not affect weight loss but I feel it does! It's discouraging.  

Answer 9

Mine has been removed. It's slow, but it works.  

Answer 10

Took me a year to lose 20 lbs. Slow, but doable!  

Answer 11

Hashimotos is a tough go. Losing weight but very , very slowly. wW works but it’s slow going.  

Answer 12

I'm menopausal and have HYPOTHYROIDISM. The weight comes off.  

Answer 13

Yep. Been dealing with this for 28 years. It’s a struggle but my doctor is keeping my medicine regulated- one day at a time.  

Answer 14

Can I ask if you dip into weeklies and/or exercise? I joined in June and steadily lost and was diagnosed with Hypothyroidism and started medication in Sept. I am at a 45 pound loss but have stalled. it has been a slow progress.
