Doctor suspects hypothyroidism - - have to get tested this week. I have most of the symptoms that came on rather suddenly (over last month) although I have always suspected I was borderline.

Yes, I did manage to lose 1/2 of the weight I wanted to lose but the last few months have been struggles...trying all things...eliminating everything practically that I started eating...cutting out caffeine....and instead of losing, I am gaining, bloated etc.

What is the right formula for me to get to my goal while suffering from this affliction? Is lower fat or lower calories what I must do? Anyone suffers and has seen success? Thoughts are appreciated.
