Hi, I know I'm late on this but I'm curious...I have a
thyroid problem and I'm 33, both of which inhibit
weight loss...but I have had a very physical job for
about 4 mos. where all I do is walk for 3 hours a day
and lift things..and I've noticed a difference in
muscle tone, but no weight loss AT ALL, which could be
due to my thyroid but now I'm wondering. Any thoughts?
