usually changes in skin and hair take about 6 months to really notice a

i was lucky in that I had only gained about 10 lbs...and within 3 months it

was mostly gone except for some redistribution in the belly area. I really

think a person for sure has to be on their optimal dose of Armour before they

start losing weight. And even then, I think it's sorta hard but can be done. I

recommend Shoman's book, The Thyroid Diet for tips on weight loss and

diet.

After being on synthroid meds 3 months I got Armour and didn't lose

weight till I upped my dose on my own (dr undermedicating-jerk).

Day two on the correct dose and I started losing weight. Mind you I

jog about 5 miles a day and take in few calories. My temps are

finally up to 98.2 rising temp and 98.4-98.6 during the day. 4 wks

I've lost 8-10 lbs. My weight isn't stable yet. Take a day off

exercise and I gain.

In just 12 days I am not surprised you are not losing weight yet! LOL The damage

to your body didn't happen over night, it will take quite some time to heal. I

would strongly recommend NOT raising your Armour any more till the T4 in it has

time to catch up which takes 4-6 weeks. Once that is caught up you may find the

weight will start coming off, or you might still need more. But you increased

your dosage way too fast and if you go hyper when the T4 catches up, it may take

a while to clear the excess out of your system, and it will not be comfortable.

Most people start on 1 grain a day at the most then work their way up

increasing by 15 MG every other week or so.
