I have been hypothyroid since 2000. And it does effect weight gain a lot. Once you get the right amount of Thyroid medicine it will stabilize and you can get the weight off. Excercise is key, howeever because your body will not loss on reduced calories alone.
Also, make sure they check you for Syndrom X or Insulin Resistance as the two often times go hand in hand.
Okay, I just looked a the date and this was a while back. How are you doing now?
