Default Under Active Thyroid and Dieting problems

Hi,

I've been diagnosed with having an underactive thyroid Does anyone else have underactive Thyroid?
If so have you been able to lose any weight?

I've had an underactive thyroid for 4 years now i'm currently on 125mg of tyroxine. I go to the gym regularly, do both cardio and weights and have been to both Slimming World and Weight Watchers and havent had any success what so ever. I stayed with SW for 9 months and lost 6lb in total, and with WW I stayed 6 months and lost 3lb. Not good eh?
Have spoken to my dr on numerous occasions and just been told i'm either not eating enough or eating too much! I go on a daily basis of 900 - 1200 calories per day. I know I've also been told that due to having an underactive thyroid it will take me 8X longer than the normal person to lose weight, but its extremly depressing. I'm at my wits end and just dont know what to do anymore

Anyone any ideas?

Thanks
