Hi Madiera08 . I am 67 and I have had an under active thyroid for 35 years, and take thyroxin daily. I was overweight for years and blamed hypothyroidism, having tried every diet under the sun. But when I started calorie counting three years ago, cutting out all snacks and especially processed snacks and foods, and focussed on home cooked food and healthy eating, avoiding bread, breakfast cereals and pasta, I lost the weight in a year, and have maintained (with a few bumps in the road) ever since.

If as moreless says, you are on the right dosage (and if you are newly diagnosed, I know it can take a little while to get this right) then you are simply in the same boat as everyone eIse, needing to eat less and move more! You can do it, loads of us on here have, just keep coming back for help and support.

I hope this helps. 🤞😊
