Maybe you expect too much. I have a few questions. I'm hypothyroid also. How much did you lose? Are you really that much overweight? If you can keep off half the weight lost, that sounds pretty good considering. Are you taking medication for the thyroid. If so, is it close to a "liveable" level? I'm still working on adjusting my doseage and it is pretty rough. I've only been working on it 8 months. I'm getting ready to do a master cleanse after I finish with a colon cleanse. Have you done any more cleanses? It looks like cleanses may help in some cases. If you went 53 days, you did more than almost all other people. Don't be too hard on yourself and be patient.
