I just started Hydroxycut today.. hope I can lose 10-15 lbs by next month. I did notice I got full from eating sushi for dinner and its bed time now and I'm still full. anyway I shall see if I lose anything in a week. I weight 140
I began using the hydroxycut that goes in your water and I love it! I was skeptical about the taste but it really taste good, no after taste. It supressed my appetite and I had plenty of energy. I haven't wieghed myself yet, it's too early but when I do I will be excited to see the results. I will definitly recomend!!!
I just started yesterday , i feel great ..i havent lost any weight yet..but we will see ..but i do have a question can u smoke cig or drink while on this pill?
ldav, the stinkiest gas. lol. anyway i have it now, don't have a scale at home to see if i lost any weight, but i feel great. i think i need to buy a bigger bottle cuz the one i have is almost gone, only had it a week, it has no side effects, i have the caffiene free one.
Just started it yesterday (oct. 19). Dont think i lost any weight yet. However, I am already eating less. Not because Ive changed my diet but because I get fuller qicker. Keep yous up dated!
I started taking hydroxycut about a month ago along with exercising 5x a week. However i cannot take it as recommended, i had uncomfortable side effects, like dizziness, lightheadedness, that blah feeling. So i started taking 1/2 a pill in the a.m. and the other 1/2 in the afternoon. There side effects stoped and the appetite suppressent and increased energy was still noticeable. I dont have a scale but i have noticed a loss of 2" off my waist. I am not totaly relying on hydroxycut for my results but i believe it has accelerated them.
People's bodies are different, so naturally they are going to work different for people. I followed the directions, and had very little side effects.
The problem I think is that people don't follow directions, they have this theory that Hydroxycut will burn fat if you don't do anything and eat everything you want.
The point of any weight loss pill is to eat healthy and exercise. All this does is give you energy and suppresses your appetite. This is not going to help if you think you can go to an "All you can eat Buffet" and lose weight by sitting on your bum.
I lost about 3 lbs a week, and have been using it for a while, AND I've been eating healthy, staying active, and being careful about what I put in my mouth
I tried Hydroxycut for the first time in the Spring of this year (2008) - it was awesome! I went from 259lbs down to 235lbs in a little under 2 weeks - being skeptical as I am I then stopped taking it for the summer to see if the weight comes back like all the other "fads" - here we are in late October and I've been EASILY maintaining 235lbs all summer, I've also gone down 3 inches in my waist. Now that I know this stuff really does work I've started taking it again 2 days ago - I want to lose another 20 lbs before Halloween. The best about all this is that I hardely had to (if at all) work out - my work schedule isnt very flexable to allow time to work out so it was perfect. The biggest part about this that I noticed was the BIG REDUCTION in appetite - when I did eat I would be full SO much faster then before and that was when I actually sat down and made an effort to eat. Normally I would snack all day - chips at work, bagel on the way home, little munchy things all night then another snack before bed - with Hydroxycut I don't even think about snacking - its not that I have to force myself to not eat IM JUST NOT HUNGRY AT ALL!!! - this stuff is awesome and I would (and do) HIGHLY recommend it to anyone wanting to lose weight and KEEP IT OFF!!!
I am going to purchase the caffeine free hydroxycut today (10/18). I am nervous about using it as I am a surgeon and I dont want it to make my hand shake or interfere with my sleep. I have about 15 lbs to lose and in conjuction with hydroxycut, I am going to exercise 4-5 days a week (a lofty goal). I will let you all know how it makes me feel and how it effects my sleep.
I'm an avid cyclist, both road and mountain, and have been in great shape since spring, able to do 3 hour, 30+ mile rides, but I was stuck at 233-235 for 4-5 months. I started taking CAFFEINE FREE Hydroxycut a month and a half ago, and without changing diet, exercise, or lifestyle (I ride one of my bikes at least the 5 mile round trip to work every day), I've dropped almost ten pounds in that time. That's with lifting a couple times a week too. Also, I haven't been taking as much Hydroxycut as they recommend, just 3-4 a day.
To those whose workouts include weight lifting and aren't happy with weight loss, remember, muscle weighs more than fat! If you are building muscle, worry more about how you look and feel than what the scale says.
I started yesteday with the caffine free- no way am I taking like 600 mils of caffine a day- that's INSANE! I hope it works, I don't just want app control, I want a product that helps burn fat!
I'll check back and tell you all how it worked
Im glad to hear that this pill cuts the appetite, but for those who have been using this for a while, I would like to know what happens when you stop taking it. Also are you losing water weight or actually fat which makes a huge difference. I need something like this to help me on days when I get very hungry. I lost alot of weight on weight watchers which is great but I need something for once in a while when hormonal imbalances make me crave sugar. Let me know!! thanks
I have been taking hydroxycut for 3 days now and I gained 2 pounds, my food intake has gone down a lot. Has this happened to anyone else.
been thinking about buying it this week!! sounds like its been working pretty good!
I have been taken it for a week now and lost 5 pounds. Has cut the cravings TONS and IMMEDIATELY. I dont' have a problem sleeping at night or get headaches or seem to have no side effects. I tried this because I had a friends lose 75 pounds in 1 year while doing pilates. Thats amazing! I love this product!
bri hydroxycut shudnt interfere with the birthcontrol..but h0wever i was on the birth control shot nd i gained 20 pounds but that was bfor takin hydroxycut..but my doctor said it shudnt interfer ..but u shud really check nd c if your birthcontrol is making u gain weight cuz then the better thing to do is switch bcirthcontrol nd hydroxycut shud help....but ive been taking diet pills since i could remember i started with staker 2 which is really gud but while i was on the birthcontrol shot i realized my dietpills wernt working so check it out
My wife has started this supplement about 6 to 8 months ago. She is a gym freak and has changed her diet completely and has lost almost 40 pounds. She was almost 180 and is closing in on the 140 mark at a incredible rate. With the right dieting and a routine work-out plan, you will need to buy a new wardrobe. i higly recommend this product to anyone who who wish to lose weight. At first she suffered minor side effects but with all pilled products your body adjusts, the only thing that i can recall that she suffered is the restlessness that most dietary energy pills have due to the Caffeine. As long as you stick to a good work out plan and change your diet you WILL be on the right path to loasing weight, add this product and your weight loss will more than triple. AND REMEMBER, hydration is vital to any plan PERIOD!\n\nGOOD LUCK
I started hydroxycut on monday (its friday) and i have lost 4 pounds. I am going to keep everyone posted on how it is going. Im going to try it for a month and if it works, keep it going.
Brit, people in this country like fake boobs and big muscles. Also a little thing called FREEDOM! Maybe its you who is wrong with this country. \n\nEither way I'm getting a bottle of this stuff tomorrow and I'm taking the whole damn thing at once.
I JUST WENT OUT AND BOUGHT IT TODAY... I HATE TAKING ANY KIND OF PILLS DUE TO ALLERGIES AND WORRY IF I WILL DIE FROM ANY MED. BUT I WILL GIVE IT A TRY...I WILL DEFINETLY LET ALL YOU KNOW IF IT REALLY WORKS,,,,,,,
