Was diagnosed with Graves disease - over-active thyroid! If it's overactive why am I having so much trouble losing weight?!?!?! Now I am on medication to subdue the thyroid - so I've gained about 8 pounds since starting the medication. I and almost fully recovered from knee surgery so I am beginning a walking program TODAY and will just keep trying harder to watch the calories - almost never go over 1800 a day and am often within my 1400 limit. Dr. says the overactive thyroid does not always make you lose weight - you think!!!??? And, that taking the medication shouldn't make me gain - arghhhhh!!!! All I can do is keep trying !
