Have you been exercising the entire time you've been LCing? The thought of overtraining occurred to me when I read just how much you're working out. Have you had more than your normal bouts with a cold/flu?

Does your rising body temp get higher as the day progresses? I too had underactive thyroid worries and started taking my waking temp. The key is that it doesnt rise much during the day (as it should, reaching a high around late afternoon then going down again in the evening). I started taking an ECA stack and it solved my problem. As part of a self defence mechanism your thyroid will slow down when you're losing a lot of fat - to prevent 'wasting away'. Have you had your Free T4 and HST tested?

With all the excercise you are doing cutting back on calories probably isnt a good idea, you're right. Maybe a break from the exercise might help?

I'm sure Dan will have some good advice for you. Hang in there.
