I was diagnosed with the same disease. I have had it for 12 years now. I too take levothyroxin. It may take some time for you to begin to lose weight. Your body has to adjust to the medication first. I would not worry so much about the weight but the fact that you know what the problem is now and you are on the road to live a healthy life. Let the medication do what it needs to do. Stressin about your weight will not make things any easier. Life will go on. I promise.
It will take a couple of months and the weight will gradually come off. Be patient, thyroid disorders take a long time to regulate. Good luck!
