I got thyroid cancer 4 years ago, went through the whole sugery removal, radiation, the works. Now I"m fine. My TSH level is fine. I take hormone replacments pills everyday. Anyone who is hypothyroidism knows losing weight feels like trying to get into the olympics. Now, everytime I go to my doctor to ask what I can do to lose weight, he give me BS answers…..join and gym, eat less, eat healthier. Done all the that. Within those 4 years, I still work out on a regular basis, been eating super healthy, still do. I don’t lose a pound. I"m not overweight, but I would like to shed some pounds. It’s embrassing to be working out so much, and not have anything to show for it. So if theirs any sugestion or similar stories, please share.
Also, I can’t eat breakfast, which is the most important meal. Because My medication requires to be taken on an empty stomach. So I must take it first thing in the morning. And I have to wait an hour to eat, we can’t eat in school. I have the thyroid diet book, didn’t help too much. and when I say I eat healthy, i’m not just talking about just no sweets. it’s not meat other than fish, no chips, no soda. it’s as healthy as it can get. i herad about putting more fiber into your diet helps? I live on broccoli… literally. it’s my favorite food so that doesn’t work. cutting calories doesn’t work. working out everyday isn’t going well…low carb doesn’t work…
also my goal isn’t crazy… if i eve see myself drop 5-10 pounds i’ll jump for joy. it doesn’t have to even be a ..lose X amt of pounds in 2 seconds… I have all the time in the world.. I just really need some advice

Have been prescribed Co-dydramol but have an underactive thyroid. It says in the leaflet to reduce the dosage if one has hypothyroidism. Would be very interested as to the effects, to decide whether to take the pills or not.

Can I take kelp pills if I’m already on medication?Will it help with my hypothyroidism?*Thanks
Have you had any experience with it?
I don’t have a "goitre"..I was asking if it would relieve some of the symptoms.

I am a youngish person, and I am tired of weighing 200 pounds. I just reached that weight yesterday, and it is depressing. I wanted to know what kinds of exercise should I do that would be most effective, and what kind of diet plan would be best. None of the pills for hypothyroidism will work fo rme, so please do not suggest those. Thanks, and any help is greatly appriciated!

For about two years now I have been seeing a doctor to keep an eye on a nodular thyroid goiter. I am six foot one, age 20, and female. The doctor has found nothing seriously wrong, but has advised me to lose a bit of weight and improve my overall wellness to help my thyroid continue its good, albeit swollen, health. Does anyone have a tip on good food or an exercise program that improved their thyroid function? Thank you so much for your answers. I am looking for a natural solution here, so please try not to recommend pills of any type, etc. I do see the doctor on a regular basis to make sure that there is not a need for any serious treatment.
