Subject: Overweight +fluid retention with 10 year history of Hypothyroidism

Hello: After 10 years of treatment with "Levothyroxin" (or) Synthroid...I still carry 45 extra pounds of water-weight. No matter how much exercise or non-eating, or even eating a balanced healthy diet I do, nothing helps! I am a small body in a huge case and it is totally impossible to lose even one ounze of weight. Are there ANY SOLUTION suggestions - it is difficult to function and I am very athletic (age 53) ....pleaseeee?????

Help & Thank you, Ursula (a Canadian in South Korea)
