I JUST STARTED ON MY JOURNEY TODAY WITH HYDROXYCUT. I AM GOING TO TAKE THE 2 PILLS 3 TIMES A DAY ONE AT BREAKFAST ONE AT LUNCH AND ONE AT NIGHT..AND I HAVE JOINED MY GYM AT WORK SO I WILL BE WORKING OUT HOPEFULLY 7 DAYS A WEEK AND WALKING WITH ONE OF BEST FRIENDS WISH ME LUCK I WEIGHED MYSELF TODAY SO HOPEFULLY THERE WILL BE A CHANGE:)
I just started taking Hydroxycut today, I already have the energy I need to go workout after an 8-5 regular day at work, I'm so excited, hope to see results like the rest of you!
i've been taking it for a week, and ive lost 10 lbs without even working out, im gonna start doing a little cardio and see what happens, my appetite has gone down though
i used be 175 pounds but ihad to bulk up for football and i went up to 205 and im down at 195 ever since ive been taking it (a week ago), and i was wondering does it cut fat off strictly too your body or does it also trim your face down to
Started taking 1 in the morning, and it works well as an appetite suppressant. I've lost 6 pounds in a couple of weeks without much change in diet. First 6 is easy, I'll have to start exercising more to get rid of more. Getting rid of soda (diet soda too) is a big help! Water or Tea only!
I've been using Hydroxycut for more than 1 month now, I do the exercise regularly and eat a healthy diet, though I did not loss any weight since I started. However, I am using AMINO acid supplements also. Is this the reason why, I didnt loss weight?
I started taking the full six pills the first day and I'll have to admit it was probably not the most brilliant idea. I was really edgy with all the energy, especially since I was stuck at work, not being able to move much. But after about two days my body returned semi back to normal, besides of course the weight loss and energy. I love it. I can't wait to see how it does with a full a month. I would definitely recommend it to someone whose willing to commit to a healthy lifestyle.
Im scared to use this
It does work, if you take the ones with cafine, the white pill, the yellow ones work slower. i take two whi in the morning and i zoom to the afternoon, lunch eat something small take two more pills after work do a hr work out at the gym like walking and a small dinner no mor pills or you wont sleep. it works
does it cause stomaches and diarrhea more often than people are admitting to? that'd be embarrassing if i'm in class. also i'm going to start with one before each meal...good idea or not?
Hydroxy Cut made my nipples permanently erect. They open doors for me now.
ive already lost 5 lbs and i havent been on this schedule for a week yet. it will be a week tomorrow. Im pretty sure that the results wouldnt be so fast with just diet and exercise....i put on jeans i just got out of the dryer this morning and i had no struggle...its usually a little hard. i was happy :) i think im just a little tighter not necessarily lighter.
I'm back :) After one bottle, I've lost about 7 lbs...so I definately think it was worth the $20! I'm trying another brand now to compare effectiveness.
hydroxycut works u have to work out or do something to stay in shape and just eat healthy i have been takin it and so has my cosine it shreds the fat really fast im started with the caffeine free ones and moved on do the hardcore and its doing some amazing work for me i am happy with it and i am going to continue to use it i feel good and i am more cut up then i have ever been
I started taking hydroxycut 3 days ago so far i lost just 3 lbs that is with one hour of spining and one hour of pilates i don't know if it is working or not. i am 5'7 and weight 150 i don't think i will buy another bottle when i am done with the one i am taking now. Only side affect is insomnia i can't sleep to save my life even with camomile tea.
i started taking caffeine free hydroxycut 3 days ago....no jitters or sleeplessness i had a bit of indegestion this morning but so far thats about it....im cutting out soda and only eating 2 small meals a day. im 5'4'' and 160 lbs im taking 2 pills 3 times a day and im going to start working out for 60-90 minutes 4 days a week. im a little concerned about taking the caffeine free because i dont know if it will work as well. im only 18 i just want to be back down to 130lbs within 2-3 months....do you think it will work? idk how long i can stay on this tough schedule though.
To all of the people saying they worked out and changed their eating habits while taking any of these "fat burning" pills, did you ever think maybe it was the healthy food and excersize that made you loose the weight? I stop drinking soda and ate a salad in place of one of my usual meals and did NOTHING else, and I lost 5 pounds in 7 days. No pills, not even a sit up. Then I started to work out on top of this, and guess what? I lost another 10 pounds in 2 weeks. Never once taking any dietary supliment, and I lost weight. Please don't be fooled by the blatant shill posts on this site. I seriously doubt that half of the reviews on the site are from real people. Companies hire people to post on blogs and boards about their products. Take everything (including this post) with a grain of salt. Good luck bettering yourselves.
I took Hydroxycut for a few months. It worked no doubt..but it had me throwing up after meals, or always with diarhea. I'd rather just cut back on sweets & exercise!
Been taking it for a week, and carefully tracking my weight changes, exercise, and food intake. Started out with the 1 pill, but only twice a day. Caffeine really makes it hard for me to sleep, so I used to only have coffee in the AM and no caffeine of any kind after noon. Too much caffeine can make me gittery, too. I LOVE the alertness side-effect I get with this product. I'm up to 2 pills per serving, though again, only twice per day. I normally do 30 mins of cardio every other day, but for a while, I was getting home from work exhausted to the point that I lacked energy to workout. Vicious cycle! We also have a new infant at home, so I, too, am trying to shed the sympathy pounds. So far, 4 pounds in 5 days. Drinking 80 - 100 oz of water a day... going to bathroom a lot more than before, lol. So far so good with this product. Will post an update...
About 7 years ago, I took Hydroxycut. I was working out 5 days a week, eating very healthy and loving the way Hydroxycut gave me energy and curbed my appetite. I was loving it until.... I was working out on the treadmill, and got chest pains, and almost passed out. My trainer almost had to call an ambulance. My bf had to come from work to make sure I got home OK. The stimulants in any diet drug can have serious, sometimes deadly effects. Diet and exercise alone, should do the trick and be much safer.
