I am soooo frustrated!  I am currently on treatment for hypothyroid (and I 
have been for 3 years), but I have never had much success with weight 
loss.  Like many others, I have tried just about all of the available diet 
plans.  Most recently, I did Atkins.  I felt absolutely awful, and I 
didn't lose any weight.  I don't struggle with portion control or making 
good choices, but I do struggle to regularly exercise.  Even when sticking 
to that, however, I have not lost any weight.  I refuse to accept that I 
might be obese for my entire life, but it's starting to look very grim.  I 
recently switched from Armour throid to compounded T3 and I am gradually 
increasing my dosage.  I am hoping that it might be possible to shed some 
weight when I have reached my optimal level of meds.  I know that I am 
probably a metabolic mess, but I am open to any and all suggestions that 
might help me win this battle with my weight.  I want to live long enough 
to see my grandchildren some day!  It's hard to image that's possible as a 
morbidly obese woman.  What more can I do?
