A member asked:
Generally when treating hypothyroidism, do you lose the weight you put on from having the condition?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes but not much: A lot of women blame thyroid for weight but it is not responsible for large weight gain or loss. I have seen wide variety of response in that zero weight loss to 50 pounds plus wt loss from the medication. Usually 0 to 2 pounds is all you get. Diet is the most important factor.
