A member asked:

Does a thyroid problem effect weight loss, if so what are some ways to lose weight with thyroid problems?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: Go see your doctor and get your thyroid levels in the normal range. This, with exercise, should allow you to get back to your ideal weight.
