underactive thyroid weight loss

I have a low thyroid and I am extremely thin. The thyroid weight gain is usually under 10 pounds and is mainly water. Still, I would have a full thyroid panel with thyroid antibody test to rule out thyroid disease as it could be making you not feel like exercising--leading to the weight gain. Also, children do put on weight after age 5 so the tonsil surgery could be a coincidence rather than a true correlation.

Hi has anyone out there got any tips for weight loss with an underactive thyroid. I am currantly on 150mg daily which my gp says is a little too high but I am still gaining weight. I am menapausal I know but I cycle daily walk at least 4 times a week eat low calorie foods and am desperate what else to try. I am now approx 4 stone overweight and worry that I am a heart attack waiting to happen.

I was diagnosed in 1996 with an over active thyroid, I weighed 111 lbs. I'm 5'5" tall. After treatment for a few years the thyroid went to underactive. I've been on 88mg of Levothyroxine for many many many years. Recently I noticed a weight gain without trying. My PCP appt in October 2017 I was 142, my most recent visit along with thyroid testing I was 146. I have not changed my eating habits at all.

I have had a underactive thyroid for about 35 years . My memory loss sometimes overwhelms me . In my personal life and work atmosphere I can deal with it . I'm in Martial arts and I teach classes there . There is where I have a problem , I can't remember something I want to say . I can't remember a technique to show my students I get embarrassed. Its a different environment for me to be head of the class in a deciplined ,focused atmosphere . Constantly can't remember .

If it is something caused by an underactive thyroid I thought I would have to be more than my ideal weight? Well, that's what I've read up about when googling "underactive thyroid". Any help is greatly welcomed. Thanks!!

MY DOCTOR upted my thyroid meds to 275mgs a day ive lost exsive weight i have a underactive thyroid

I'd want to know what the exact ingredients are before taking/recommending anything for weight loss. Most weight loss aids don't work, and if you do lose weight on one, it's usually not sustainable and the weight comes right back once product use is stopped. Much better to adopt a healthy diet and exercise regimen that you can stick with - lifestyle changes.

having a underactive thyroid ,ive gained a little weight ,i did put it down to giving up smoking 3 years earlier,but my doc says it is down to the thyroid problem,now that i have started on thyroxine and trying to exercise,will i lose the weight or will it always be there,what im trying to say is, as i lose it will my underactive thyroid make me gain it again just as soon as its gone

Buddy, i believe you do not have HIV but i do believe you have an underactive thyroid. My friend sarah had that problem and gained weight and always said she was tired. Here are the symptoms i looked them up for you.

You did not mention if you were exercising which help you lose weight. Any type of exercise would result in weight loss and/or toning up your body.

ve both had it covered, but what about thyroid function? An overactive thyroid can cause racing heart and weight loss, as the entire metabolism speeds up. A thyroid function test is a matter of only one blood draw, and can tell a lot. Usually TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone) is what's tested, but I wouldn't settle for that. Ask for TSH, T4, T3, everything. I personally have autoimmune underactive thyroid, which I've been medicated for for 35 years, no probs.

37 y.o. weight loss, could a lot of causes. Check thyroid, check for cancers: blood work, breast, colon- unusual but sometimes happens. Anxiety, stress, GI problems-diarrhea. You should probably talk to a doctor and to be asked many of these questions.

also before being diagnosed she lost almost three stone in weight i have been told this is not normal for a underactive thyroid?

Hi Is there really any help out there with this. I'm a 54 year old femail with the menopause, if thats not bad enough, I now have an under active thyroid. I am virtually straving myself exercising, and taking libo bind slimming tablets yet getting fatter everyday, needless to say my clothes are tighter and uncomfortable, and yet my GP seems to think it's ok that I have put on weight because my BMI is ok. Other than that she just ignores me.

The eltoxin is a thyroid replacement for an underactive thyroid -- the best way to test for this is to look at the TSH level -- this would be high in the case of hypothyroidism. It may help with the weight, but 18kg is more than we usually see in hypothyroidism, so diet and exercise is important as well.

i have been diagnoed underactive thyroid for 11 years now, i get my blood levels measured avery 6 months and they are stable, i take 200mcg levothyroxine daily, so how come i still get all the symptoms, hair loss, dry skin, feel cold, depression, tired, and i was never so heavy as now, ever,seem to have a slow metabolism, although if i strict diet it does slowly come off, but whos gonna diet theyre whole life,i do eat healthily, always low fat options,welcome any opinions

Have you researched all hypothyroid symptoms (long list)? No energy and difficulty sleeping, body pain, are common with low thyroid levels. BP is affected too. Get freeT3 and freeT4 thyroid hormone levels checked - that is what ALL cells need. Do not settle for just TSH which is a 'messenger ' hormone from the pituitary to the thyroid. quote "I am 6'1" tall, weigh in at about 235.

Is lt possible to loss weight even if i didn't eat my breakfast and lunch coz i heard about increasing the eating desire or hungry desire to eat when skipping meals?, I wasn't able to eat my breakfast because I'm running out of time going to work and also, I have to time to eat my dinner because Im always tired.

I an underactive thyroid. I am 45. T started taking Alli because thyroid medicne is not working. I started having oily orange stool. Is that a bad sign or normal? This discussion is related to <a href='/posts/show/229938'>Orange oil substance with stool</a>.

i jst discovered 2 lil' bald patches and I have PCOS.

An underactive thyroid can put weight on and make it tough to lose (thyroid affects metabolism). Sounds like your endo isn't your favorite person to work with, and so if you can find another one, you might find an easier relationship within which to work. In the end, weight loss requires hundreds, if not thousands of small steps and decisions -- day in and day out, week after month after year. Much like managing DM, actually.

A few months later i was started on levothyroxine and this worked well for years. I gained a bit of weight but remained at this stable weight for a few more years even after the birth of another 2 children!! Around 18 months ago i started to GAIN weight excessively! (around 3 pounds per week). By the time i had gained approx 19 pounds i returned to my GP who thought i needed more thyroxine.

I also have been Diagnosed with Hashimotos Thyroiditis, Underactive Thyroid. My left Thyroid was removed 4 years ago due to constant Infection and the right Thyroid have to be removed in the upcoming weeks due to the same problem. my TSH levels were 25.5 on the 10/04/2015 and on 14/10/2015 with another test my Level spiked to 35.5 i am on Eltroxin at 250 mg, My weight is at 50 kg and i measure 1.95 m tall. I also don't understand whey i am skinny.
