Hi, I am 5 feet tall and weigh 74?kg. I also have thyroid issues. There is a lot of pressure on me to have a baby, and we are planning to conceive within a month. I am very concerned about my weight. What should I do? Is it possible to manage or reduce weight during pregnancy with just morning walks?

At 5 feet and 74 kg, you are overweight, which can affect pregnancy planning. With thyroid issues, weight loss can be slow but is possible. Morning walks are great but may not be enough alone also focus on light, healthy meals. You do not need to lose all weight before trying just start with healthy changes. Make sure your TSH is well controlled before pregnancy. Consult a doctor for expert advice

I have high TSH level and take 100 to 150 mg of thyroxine daily. I also suffer from urticaria. I also would like to know what other supplements I can take to increase results of my workout like fat burners C4 testosterone etc to increase metabolism and if supplements I am already taking are safe for my medical conditions?
