I take meds for my hyperthyroid, no weight gain here, I think you should try it and see what happens, I sleep a lot better and the sleep we need to help with weight loss.
I was about the same weight as you, my goal is also 150, just around the corner for the both of us, little step at first, but keep pushing your going to feel great!!!!!
This is a wonderful time for you enjoy, it gets better an better as time flies by, the 100 pound goals, maybe a them park, fitting into all the ride and seat is an eye opener....... Keep it up doing GREAT!!!!!
I get these weird prisms in my eyes, get a sense of dizziness or imbalance, I had my vision even a scan on my brain, nothing......... My vision is getting better but I dont know why this has happen to me, same with the Doctor's..........
