I would venture to guess that the Dr. has prescribed Synthroid for you? 10 mcg? You didn't state how long you were taking it for and that would be a major factor, you also did not state as to how long ago you were diagnosed with Hypothyroidism...this would make a major difference in your weight loss as it takes approximately 1 mos for the medication to work into your system. That being said, if you decide to use the diet that the Dr. has prescribed for you and you feel comfortable with it, you should begin to lose weight soon.
I recommend Weight Watchers, it's not anymore expensive than some of these crackpot diets that are out there now and you can enjoy dessert as well!
I hope this helps and good luck to you!
Instead of eating large meals try eating small more frequent meals. That can help increase your metabolism.
I run almost 4 miles every day and I'm in PerFeCt shape. Try that and try eating salads and soup. I know salads are unamerican. lOl. Good lUcK : )
