I started again my diet 5 days ago and finally the scaled moved a bit. So maybe i am going fine.

Maybe you just being too impatient? 4 weeks on a diet and no loss. And then 3 weeks on a diet and no loss. Now 5 days on and a bit of a loss.

How long between these diet stints? Why do you stop? What do you eat between?

You should not have to drop your calories to 1000. If that's true then you need to contact your doctor to have your medication reevaluated. Even if you've been on the same meds/dose for a while with success, sometimes changes are needed.

Seeing your doctor may be a good idea. At least then you'll know if that is the cause or not. If not, then try a more reasonable deficit and stick with it longer. Sometimes it takes longer to see results on the scale.

I am hypothyroid and have lost over 100 pounds. I say that to let you know it can be done. I remember when my thyroid issue was diagnosed. I thought "ok, now I'll lose weight". Nope. I didn't lose an ounce. But I did feel better. My headaches went away and my constipation went away. That feeling that I was exhausted all the time got better.

We all have a tendency to hope that we aren't losing because of hormones but honestly it is often more a matter of how much we eat and how little we move. Definately if you have signs of low thyroid go and get it checked again but to lose weight make sure you are weighing everything and logging everything including a bite of this and a bite of that. Go for a walk or a swim or something to get some exercise. Find something you like to do. You will lose and it might take a bit longer than expected but trust me you will get there. Good luck.
