Hypothyroid

I am hypothyroid and have been since I had a partial thyroidectomy three and a half years ago.

I take 150mg levo, TSH is usually 0.5 ish. Not sure about ft3 or ft4 as my gp won't test for this.

I generally feel ok, more tired than most but I am kind of used to it. I am also training for a sprint triathlon so that doesn't help the tiredness. Some days I am asleep at 8.30!

However I am finding it impossible to lose weight. I swim 1.5-2km a week, run approx 6miles and cycle at least 10miles. My diet is not bad and in the last four weeks I have given up all cakes biscuits sweets and chocolate. It doesn't seem to matter how little I eat I still cannot lose weight.

If you are hypothyroid have you lost weight? What were your levels? And how did you do it?

Thanks
