Yes: When a child with hypothyroidism acheives a stable balance with supplemental thyroid hormone they are essentially normal kids (with a supplement). Periodic tests verify balance.Your physician can give you the calorie range needed for weight loss and with effort and cooperation from your child, a healthy diet and regualr physical activity can have identical results to the unaffected kid.Go for it!
