The two main reasons for losing weight are cosmetic purposes and health purposes.

Cosmetic

In our society, beauty is romanticized. As such, people feel that they need to meet the standards of the models and actors they see on TV. This really isn't possible due to all of the makeup and photoshop those actors/models get. However, it is a very powerful instigator for people to lose weight.

Healthfulness.

Statistically, being obese will kill you more than anything else will. This is because it significantly increases your risk for heart attacks, strokes, Diabetes, gout, and more. Obviously this would motivate people to lose weight. Unfortunately, this country still has an unfeasible amount of obese people, so you can see that losing weight is a very difficult process, and some people would rather not bother.

Does lisinopril cause weight loss?

It can cause some minor weight loss, as HCTZ (hydrochlorothiazide) is a diuretic, meaning it makes one lose more water through urine output. If you are fluid overloaded for whatever reason, you might lose a pound or two after you start taking this medication. It is not likely that you will lose much weight, however.

No. Armour Thyroid should never be used for weight loss and will not cause weight loss in people with NORMAL Thyroid Function.

It will not CAUSE weightloss. It will however make it possible for those with Hypothyroid to lose weight - which many could not without Armour.
