Desperate for advice on how to loose the weight I have gained since been diagnosed

First of all you need to be optimally medicated and need to know that you are converting T4 to T3 well enough. You also need optimal nutrient levels for thyroid hormone to work.

Do you have your latest test resultsfor

Tsh

FT4

FT3

Thyroid antibodies

Vit D

B12

Folate

Ferritin

Post them on the forum, including their reference ranges, and members will comment.

I lost over a stone very slowly but surely after getting my thyroxin dose ‘right’ and supplementing iron, d3, magnesium, k2, b12 and omega 3. I also cut out out bread, pasta and don’t eat after 7pm. Post your blood results and see. 👍

I am in the USA. Just started Weight Watchers on line and it seems to be working. I have tried on my own with no real results.
