Dry Skin Hypothyroidism Treatment

I started taking Iodine for hypothyroidism. Why did I gain weight instead of losing?

I was diagnosed slightly hypothyroid 4 months ago. During the last 7 years I gained 10 pounds although I am a personal trainer. I also have hair loss, dry skin and I suspected I might be hypothyroid so I did a blood test. I started taking Iodoral 3 weeks ago and gained more weight! More than 4 pounds in 3 weeks! My doctor advised me to be patient but I'm afraid I will gain even more weight! Please help! Anyone had the same problem? Any idea if I will start losing weight or will I continue to gain weight? I've started thinking of stopping my treatment.
Thank you for your answer. I am a female, 36 years old, personal trainer.

Perhaps it is just that the Iodoral is not helping??? Why not take Synthroid?

You probably know this but too much iodine can cause problems too.

Curious...did you also have test for ANTIBODIES? Need to.
