What is safe for me and what should I look out for?!


Question: What is safe for me and what should I look out for?
I have recently been diagnosed with hypothyrodism. Meaning my thyriod levels are low. Is there anyone out there who has the same problem and can lend me some advice? I am new to this and I would like to stay healthy and I am trying to lose weight on top of that so its getting difficult. Any tips, tricks or really good advice is needed and appreciated :)

I've been taking thyroid medication for about 15 years or more now. As your medication levels get adjusted you will find it easier to lose weight and will find that you have more energy. There really isn't much that you need to worry about. Take your medication at the same time everyday, at least an hour before or after eating - so you don't take it with food. Just eat a healthy diet, get your blood work done when you are supposed to, get some exercise. Your smptoms will all go away within several weeks of starting your meds. Hypothyroidism is easily and well controlled with medication.
