Hypothyroid: The medication you are taking should have the underactive thyroid condition under control. Your doc will periodically check whether the dose needs to be adjusted. If you are overweight, walking & other exercise may lower your weight, & thus alter how much med you need. Eat moderately from fruits, veggies, lean meats, seafood, whole grains. Follow up w/ doc regularly.
