Answer

I have hypothyroidism, but I take thyroid supplements and I assume you do, too. However, at five feet four, I have an endomorphic body type and am menopausal; it is very hard for me to lose weight. Last year, I had to get my calories down to less than 1,000 a day, which I kept track of by weighing and measuring everything I ate, ate low calorie and low fat food, and walked an hour to an hour and a half a day to lose. I lost 44 pounds last year in about six months. Now I watch my food intake like a hawk and walk at least 50 minutes a day to maintain the loss. Good luck!
