how to loose weight with thyroid condition?!
Question: How to loose weight with thyroid condition?
I have always been a healthy weight. in august i was told i have hashimotos which is pretty much hypothyroidism. ive gained almost 10 lbs since i started taking levothyroxine. granted some of the weight is probably due to eating habits over the holidays and what not but usually i can bounce back. this is the heaviest ive ever been i hate and am disgusted with myself im getting really depressed and don't even want to be seen in public. i joined the gym and have been eating as healthy but it seems like ive been gaining MORE weight. how do i loose the 10 lbs and do you think it's from my meds?

Probably not from your meds but rather from the condition itself.
BTW, Hashi's has periods of hypER along the way.
I assume that you are having levels checked often (like every 4 - 8 wks or so) to make sure to get the dose right.
