If your thyroid: Blood tests are normal then your thyroid is functioning normally, you should not take thyroid medication to loose weight if you thyroid is normal. Too high thyroid is dangerous. I suggest balanced diet, moderate portions and 1/2-1 hour of exercise a day. Water exercise or swimming can be gentle on your joints.
