katiedeschenes, I also have hypothyroidism. I was born with it actually - absolutely no thyroid gland so I take a higher dose of synthroid. Last couple years with weight gain, my insulin levels have skyrocketed and Ive developed a thyroid hormone resistance. Endo put me on phentermine to try to help with weight but said that my weight loss, if any, might be a lot slower than most people because of the thyroid problems. Did you notice it took longer because of your thyroid problems or was it about the same as everyone else?
