Hyporthyroidism & weight?!
Question: Hyporthyroidism & weight?
I had a baby in november my weight went from 155-198. After I had the baby I weighed 188. I tried to lose weight by watching what I ate but nothing happend I was stuck there. So in January I started taking a diet pill called oxyelite pro, did cardio 5days a wk, & watched what I ate. I was down to 167. Last week I went to the dr for a check up and they called me back saying my TSH was 29, and I have hypothyroidism. They put me on synthroid 100mg so I stopped the diet pill and continued the cardio and food diet. In a week I have gained 3lbs! I was losing until I stopped the diet pill and started the synthroid, My question is why did the weight gain happen and will it continue???? thanks!

Not from the meds but from the disease itself. Your doctor should be wanting to have you get new labs every 4 to 8 wks in the beginning. If not, get another doctor..an Endo. Were you tested for ANTIBODIES?
