i have the same problem. I have hypothyroidism and take .150 mg of synthroid everyday and excerise regularly. I do sports for school and have cut out many fattening things from my diet and have stuck to it faithfully. Nothing seems to work I just gain all I'm my stomach area,lower stomach to be exact. I don't know what else to do, surgery is an option but it's expensive especially for a girl paying for college. I hate hypothyroidism, I'm more active than my skinny friends and they gain nothing, and this isn't baby fat which I wish it was, no I'm afraid that hypothyroidism is the unnamed "fat disease" . I'm at a loss -_-
