Lady Di, welcome from one newbie to another.

To answer your question, I'm also "hypo" and have struggled for over 10 years to get the weight off. Low carbing is the only thing I've tried that helps. My body just LOVES carbs but I can feel it slow down even more when I eat the white carbs. They make me lethargic.

Every other diet I've tried (and I've tried them ALL) don't work at all. If anything, I would stay the same weight but usually I gained.

I currently also take synthroid. Been pretty much stable on my meds for a while but I think that changing. Stick with it and check in with me at Richard2 sometime. (Oh, by the way, contrary to my login, I'm a female.)

See ya
