How do you lose weight with Hypothyroidism? I do not over eat, and since being diagnosed in March have put weight on, with little appetite.

For a subset of hypothyroid sufferers this is a problem (it is for me too). Have a look at the thread a little way down started (I think) by 'waveylines' - that's in the 'putting weight on' ball park. Good luck!
