levothyroxine

I have been taking levothyroxine for 4 months now.  Will I see any boost in my metabolism soon?  I have been trying to lose weight, and can only seem to take of pounds (5 in 9 months) by doing excessive cardio (2 hours per day).  I am eating between 1500-2000 calories per day and sleeping a lot, like 9 hours every night.  Is there any hope or piece of mind for me?

It did give me a little boost in mood.  I don't believe it boosted my metabolism, because I lost no weight from it.  Only since I have been jogging like a maniac have I lost ANY weight.  I wish that I had my old metabolism back!!!
