This is not usually what people want to hear but hypothryroidism doesn't cause a major increase in wt. Also, it takes up to 6 weeks for any t3 or t4 meds to kick in and sometimes a few weeks after that for the body to respond. I have had hypo since I was 12 (22 now) and thru the years have noticed an increase or decrease in my wt of about 10 lbs every few months to every few years. My
solution - skinny pants and fat pants. My bf hates how big my closet is but he understands when he sees me desperately trying to squeeze or borrowing his belt

If you're really interested in your health (and I would be!) look at some books by Mary J. Shomon on amazon - used can be as low as $1 b/c hypo can cause probs with hair, skin, nails, muscles, periods, ovulation (might not release an egg) and pregnancy (down
syndrome).
