Thyroid and temperature confuses me!

Can someone please post the correct information here about the thyroid function and it's connection to body temperature and weight? I have under-fuction of my thyroid which causes slow metabolism and a tendency to gain weight easily. I need to find out what's beneficial for me concerning Bovine Ovary.
This is how I understand it:
Low thyroid function = low metabolism = overweight
High thyroid function = high metabolism = underweight
Who gets the low temp? Is it those who are a bit underweight?
If so, how does Kelp/Iodine help them? Iodine speeds up the thyroid function and the metabolism. Wouldn't that make them even more underweight and less prone to store fat in the breasts, even if it raises the body temperature? I just don't understand any of this.

I dont think that high metabolism means high thyroid function..only people who have low temperature means that their thyroid isn't functioning properly.so iodine helps with that or L-tyrosine...it is not that overweight people or undeweight ones are the ones with thyroid problems...That is what i know..Good luck..kelp won't cause any sort of weight gain..

Yes pink and fluffy, you are right about the low thyroid function causing a slow metabolism and a high thyroid function causing a fast metabolism. Here is some basic info on thyroids:
From Wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thyroid
The thyroid controls how quickly the body burns energy, makes proteins and how sensitive the body should be to other hormones. The thyroid does this by producing thyroid hormones, principally thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3). These hormones regulate the rate of metabolism and affect the growth and rate of function of many other systems in the body.
