I've had hypothyroidism since the age of 13 & took the eltroxin for 3 - 4 years. once i stopped it, will it make it more difficult to lose weight?

Yes, if hypothyroid: If you still have hypothyroidism then you'll definitely have more difficulty losing weight if you stop eltroxin. It is unusual for hypothyroidism to go away. Many who are treated for hypothyroidism are inadequately treated; a good percentage also need liothyronine. A normal TSH does not mean you are getting enough. Have your free T3 checked- it should be in upper half of normal range. See comment:.
