My Review 

I am hypothyroid and through the Weigh Down program I have lost 40 pounds in three months. This was eight years ago. I became pregnant with my third child almost 4 years ago. There was absolutely no fear in my heart that I wouldn't be able to lose the weigh after he was born. I gained 42 pounds while pregnant and lost it in about 4 months. This program truly works for anyone and the weight loss is permanent!

Pros for Thyroid Patients? 

This program helped me listen to what my body needed. As a thyroid patient, it helps to stay consistent with medication.

Cons for Thyroid Patients? 

No downfall. No cons. It is the perfect weight loss program. They don't tell you what to eat. They help you stay in the boundaries that your body needs.
