That would lead to a very significant adverse reaction. You'd lose weight, but you'd be very sick. Very very sick.
If I understand your question correctly, and you or someone you know have actually done so, I suggest you immediately seek medical care. If you have a fever, are disoriented, or have chest pain, call an ambulance. Get to an emergency room. And tell the truth about why you feel that way. It'll save a lot of time and invasive testing.
Thyroid hormone is not a safe way to lose weight.
