It is very hard to loose weight and keep it off no doubt about that! But I have to say your “using thyroid as an excuse for not loosing weight” is very hurtful! I have had thyroid issues for 6 years, then it “developed into cancer” and had to be removed. When it wasn’t functioning before cancer I was exhausted all the time, heart palpitations and felt foggy headed but managed to care of my family. It was a huge struggle, after getting put on medication 7 years now, I gained weight even though I was walking 8-12 miles, watching my diet (low carb) and exercising daily. 1 year post cancer surgery I struggle to maintain my weight, fatigue and stigma from weigh gain from medications.. I gained 10 lbs even while watching my eating, fasting, cutting calories down to less than 1000 and exercising after starting medication. I think the medicines work but they sure make it very difficult to loose or maintain weight.

@sophia07- When I couldn't lose weight, for another reason I wound up having to consume more calories than before I dieted. It is so very very frustrating. Just to touch on your weight loss 1000 calories a day is not enough calories to sustain weight loss at all. You need to eat at a minimum of 1200 calories a day. Pleae, I am not saying that the medicine doesn't make you gain weight, but if you are trying to lose it you actually have to eat enough to help burn off calories.
