Expecting T3 to start melting off the fat is expecting the wrong thing.

First, all T3 does is increase your metabolic rate. Which means it's an equal opportunity burner. You'll burn off muscle just as fast as fat. So unless you're also on anabolics which will help to preserve the muscle, say goodbye to your muscle along with the fat.

Second, the effects are slow, gradual and subtle. Doing an hour of cardio a day will probably result in more fat loss than doing no cardio and taking T3.

Third, how much T3 are you taking? Because if you've been increasing by 25mcg's E3D, you'll soon be taking way too much.

And lastly, there is a possibility that supplementing with thyroid based fat burners and not knowing what you're doing (I'm not saying that's the case with you), can possibly cause significant problems going forward after stopping the fat burner. Not so much in the area of natural T3 production although that may be suppressed temporarily, but in the production of Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH).

Good luck,
