questions about hypo weight gain

[Guest guest]

I know my weight gain was due to hypothyroidism. I gained about 40 or 50

pounds and saw triglycerides and cholesterol jump. Also I experienced a

number of other well known hypothyroid related problems. I'd like to

know if others in this group experienced the same thing. Once on the

correct meds and eventually optimized, I saw the weight slowly drop.

However, it stalled about 15 above normal. I started on a low

carbohydrate diet and am pretty close to goal. If you do feel you are

properly medicated, are you still carrying extra pounds and have you

found anything that helps?
