Struggling to Lose Weight with Hypothyroidism: Seeking Advice

I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism around 8 years ago and over the last 4 years I have gained weight that I am struggling to lose. 2 of my aunts and my mom all have thyroid issues and issues with losing weight and I have seen them all try so many different things with minimal results. I was wondering if anyone with thyroid issues has successfully gotten back to a healthy weight and how you did it.

It's a struggle to be sure. I've recently lost a little bit but have a long way to go. The first place I would start is making sure you have good blood sugar control.

Intermittent fasting and green smoothie did it for me and especially education about insulin resistance. Dropped the sugar and carbs, did a green smoothie with lemon, ginger, CELERY, spinach, advacodo, and a little honey for breakfast, did a little exercise before breakfasts. DROPPED 10LBS IN ONE WEEK. WENT FROM 215 @5'4" TO 193 IN LES THAN TWO MONTHS and I wasn't as consistent as I could have been. Actually think I took a three week break. 😳 so it got rid of my inflammation and dropped my a1c with no meds from 6.8 to 6.2

It sounds like you’re on the wrong dosage of your Synthroid or thyroid medicine. I’ve had hypothyroidism since I was six years old and the only time I had problems with weight is when I was on the wrong day to the medicine.

Intermittent fasting works, I lost 5 stone. Trouble is once I reached my goal I stopped, so I've put it all back on plus another stone 🙈
