Default does anyone know if thyroid meds will stop my weight loss.

i am on day 13th. last week i lost 7 lbs but i started taking synthroid
again on day 5. and i have done nothing different and i have found i have
gained a pound this week. i cheated on wed day 10 and jumped on the scale

still no more loss. i know i should not be on the scale all te time but
after week one i am confussed. does anyone have any ideas for me?

Weight loss is not a steady downward path. If you read this group you will
find that it is very common to have stalls and even occasional rises in
weight. Remember, a pint of water weighs a pound, so it's real easy for
your water retention to vary by a couple of pounds or even more. I find
that I go down three or four pounds, then back up a couple, then slowly back
down three or four more, these cycles take several days but over time the
trend is downward. You are getting concerned way too soon.

It could merely be normal fluctuation, which is why you are advised to
wait at least a week between weighings. A glass of water can make you
'gain' a pound, so you really need to look at trends over a longer
period.

Synthroid eventually should boost your metabolism a little, or at least
keep it stable. It should not cause weight gain. Hypothryoidism, which is
the reason for taking Synthroid, *will* make your metabolism more
sluggish. (I am hypothryoid and take Synthroid, too.)

You may have just hit a little plateau after the quick weight loss (which
was mostly fluids). Hang in there and give it some time.
