I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism about 2 months ago. I was very happy to find out that my 10-15 pound weight gain was connected to it, I thought I would drop that weight pretty quickly with this medication but i've only lost 3 pounds in a week. Is this normal? How quickly did you lose weight? Please help. I feel self concious around my boyfriend of over a year. I don't like it. I want my smaller body back. He's a work out buff and he looks good but I've tried to lose the weight so bad I'm just about to give up. HELP!!
