UNtreated hypothyroidism can contribute to weight gain - once treated, the thyroid metabolism goes back to normal so the weight should not be related at that point.  Remember, most of the two-thirds of americans who are overweight do not have a thyroid problem.  Would talk with your doctor about supervised weight loss plans (without weight loss meds).
