I didn't misunderstand as much as a disagree in some ways about what she said. To say:
"So the FIRST thing to wrap your head around, what people in general need to wrap their head around is slow Thyroid problem doesn't equal overweight especially if medicated properly."
Is not necessarily true, I am being medicated properly now, but my particular condition changes a lot due to the fact that it's a slow degenerative process. I am constantly having to take stock of my energy levels, and other body processes in order to make sure I am on track. IT affects your digestive system as well, so weight loss is a bit more tricky!
It's not that I think people can't lose, or they can't be thin, if you have this disease it's a LOT harder to get rid of the weight once it's there. For instance, I once joined weight watchers with my mother, we were both eating the same exact meals...and she was consistently losing 4 lbs a week to my one or 1.5...which was frustrating, but I was still losing so it was ok...but being related and much younger, and eating the same exact meals and portions, I expected to at least lost the same amount that she did...but it didn't work that way!
