It’s hard! I usually have a hard time with sleep as well and energy levels are so low. Mentally struggling as well. Exercise helps, as well as a good diet that caters to ppl with hypothyroidism. No gluten, no dairy! But even with that it can still be hard so try to stay in communication with your doctor.

I feel exactly the same. I try to walk every day but the weight doesn't disappear. I try to limit my carbs to a one cup serving and tried many diets. I have hypothyroidism and migraines, and insomnia, and anxiety with panic attacks, and PTSD.

Walking NEVER worked for me. I was not in great shape but I made myself ride a bike for about 15 min every other day and because it got my heart rate up more it worked really well. It only took 1 month to increase my stamina & I lost a good bit if weight! Whatever you can tolerate AND speed up the heart is best. I also did not stress at all about diet. I only told myself to eat more fruit and vegetables & drink water. That's it!!
