A member asked:
I have hypothyroidism and i've been on a treatment plan for some time. i had gained 40 pounds and my doctor told me i'd lose weight. i'm not. why?

Many possibilities: There are many reasons why people gain weight and are unable to lose it. If your thyroid levels are normal while on thyroid hormone, you need to look for other reasons for the weight. Of course, eating fewer calories, and burning more with exercise will always be the best way to lose weight.
