It's located in your neck. If you're a guy, just below your Adam's apple. If you're a woman, imagine where it would be. To try to locate it, use the tips of your fingers (both hands) on either side of your neck, tip your head back slightly, then swallow. If it's enlarged it'll be easier to locate it this way. If it's not, it can be difficult to feel. The picture below is from WebMD.com and will give you a better idea of where exactly your thyroid is located.
