Will i be able to lose weight now that i am taking thyroid meds?

No effect: Taking thyroid pills, at the right dose to make your thyroid blood levels normal, will not affect your ability to lose weight. If you were previously hypothyroid, taking thyroid pills may make it easier to lose weight. But you still have to pay careful attention to your food intake and physical activity.
