I too have hypothyroidism. I started phen last Sat. and have now lost 10 pounds. I am on 112 mg of levothyroxine. I always said that it was my thyroid problem that causes my weight gain this whole time and I have had it for almost 10 years now. I never understood why I could not eat the same stuff all the other kids were eating. I lost it by lowering my portions and drinking a ton of water which also helps the cravings. I never counted calories or anything until just recently. For instance, I never knew that 2 oreos had 280 calories! Now I just eat only the amount of calories I know I can burn off that day and so fare it has worked. I am pretty active also. I have learned that it is possible to lose weight with hypothyroidism. Its just a little harder for us. I asked the same question you did last week when I started. I think water really made a difference and I 'm someone who hates water! Good Luck and keep trying because I know it's hard.
