Hmmm... I'm not sure you can say I'm hypothyroid really. My thyroid levels are normal because I take daily thyroid medication. But I do lose weight very slowly and I must cut calories to do so. Are you getting your condition treated? aka taking thyroid hormone?

Also, when I had Graves Disease, which is hyperthyroidism, I actually GAINED weight! Kind of paradoxical, but there you go. My doctors were surprised but said it wasn't unheard of just not usual. I don't think I ate an abnormally huge amount, but I was eating probably a pretty normal American diet, without sugary pop. You'd think someone with a resting pulse rate of 120 would be burning calories like mad.

For me, I have to keep my calories to around 1300-1400. I don't know that carb grams matter so much for weight loss, but I try to keep them 20 or fewer during the week. On the weekends I party with about 1600 calories and about 40g of carbs. I don't cheat, I don't have cravings or fall off the wagon. The lower carbs keep the appetite in check.

The only way I seem to lose weight is with calorie reduction. And my typical rate of loss is very, very slow. I've been on low carb for 1.5 years and have only lost around 35 pounds out of the 50-60 I need to lose. I find that I have to be very strict with calories otherwise I just maintain.

BTW: Part of the time after my thyroid was removed I was severely hypothyroid, they were waiting for my body to use up its stores so they could properly dose my thyroid hormone. And I was on Nutri/System at the time, exercising about 1 hour a day, eating 1200 calories a day and I totally stalled out for weeks until they got my thyroid dose right.

So my body has two rates of losing weight.... imperceptibly and extremely slowly. Make that three: Not at all. There's only one way to deal with that... time. Over time it does go. Patience is the key.
