Thyroid use can be very tricky. I once knew a guy who used 400mcg a day for 4 weeks he lost over 23lbs however, his body fat did not change that much. Conclusion he lost a lot of muscle. Experts/Guru agree that anytime you use over more then 50mcg for longer then 4 weeks you are going to rebound and get fat (if not fatter) when come off. A reason why your friend is loosing weight is because she could of had a preexisting thyroid condition that may have been caused by years obesity. A Medical professional should test her levels to see if they are even normal to begin with (make sure she has been off of any kind of thyroid for at least 8 weeks. Bottom line is thyroid is tricky stuff and , if you want to loose weight do it the old fashion way lift weights, eat right (low carbs, high protein, and moderate poly/monounsaturated fats) and do cardiovascular. Good Luck. THE FUROR.
