Weight loss impacts of thyroid medication?

My GP appointment yesterday had me leaving me with a script for thyroid medication after my increasing TSH levels are now well above 10. We discussed symptoms of subclinical hypothyroidism and some of the things that could be improved by the medication.

One of things she said is that my rate of weight loss might increase. Right now, I eat 1400 calories a day and lose less than 1kg a week (it varies week to week). It feels slow but I had been happy that I was losing anything as I've plateaued before. However, now I'm fighting the hope that I might be able to either lose faster or increase my calories.

I guess I wanted to know if anyone else has started thyroid medication during their weight loss journey and if it's actually had an impact on how much you lost or how much you could eat?
