Jonnie, sorry to hear about the frustrations! I can offer a little advice.

1) Stop the Stacker if it contains ephedra / ephedrine / ma huang. There's a long list of warnings on those and problems with your thyroid is one of the big ones. Get rid of the carb cutter - you're not eating enough when you LC for it do anything except make your wallet lighter. Those few carbs you are eating are OK.

2) If you're always tired and you're working out intensely it's possible you're not eating enough. It's common to lose a chuck of weight initially and 'stall' out for a few weeks. If you're eating too little then you may not come out of that stall. I would try increasing calories slightly and backing off on a few of those cardio sessions to see what happens.
