Well there are quite a few of us ladies on here that are hypothyroid.....I'm loseing slow....but one lady is doing quite well.....Just keep check on how you feel...and get your blood tested every so often. I don't feel bad....some days I feel a bit tired...but I was doing college too.....You should take vitamis a,b,c and e...while your doing atkins.....Maybe some of the other ladies can add some advice.....Hypothyroid sucks...doesn't it....But I know ladies that say you can lose...just takes a bit more work.
