I started taking 137 mcg daily of synthroid just a couple of days ago. And I was just wondering if anybody had any tips as far as diet and exercise to lose this excess weight. I've gained about 35 lbs since all this thyroid crap started. Low carb? Low fat? No dairy? I've been eating extremely healthy lately and exercising moderately but the scale has not moved at all. I just wanted advice from people that had weight loss success while hypo. I will hopefully be TTC within the next 6 months and really want to be at a healthy weight before trying. Thanks

You will find it easier to lose weight once your levels are adjusted properly.

Hey Bigger, you might want to try Gluten-Wheat-Dairy Free, all these have been shown to interfere with thyroid, hormones and metabolism. It has also been my experience that Low Carb is a bad idea for people with Fatigue and Mental Fog issues. Now cutting out the bad carbs, fast food, soda, pizza etc. is a no-brainer but we need carb for energy, for mental clarity and for our metabolism to work properly so we Can lose weight. I do agree that you will need to have your medication at the right dosage to get to and maintain a healthy weight, but its never too early to start cleaning out our systems. Hope this helps idea
