I started hydroxycut last friday (May 23) and lost 4 pounds already with out exercising because hydroxycut does not give me engery.. it makes me really tired and have less energy then i normally do but it does control my appetite how ever i'm always hungry but every time i eat, i get full really fast. I am going to start working out so my results can show up faster. But the side effects are really killing me. Anyways, hydroxycut does work but the side effects does effect me.

After putting on 20 pounds in a years time in my new career as a team driver OTR... I really needed some help curbing my appetite! I started taking H about 4 days ago. One 2x a day has worked great, I crave water, and have no interest in foods like chip, french fries, cheese burgers. Amazing ! Last night i had a chicken breast, vege, and 1/2 a potatoe. I will add some walking next week, but when your fat and depressed... sometimes you need a boost to get started... so glad I found it!

I've been taking Hydroxycut for a day and a half now and I feel great. I actually woke up hungover this morning and took two pills and was energized and ready to go the entire day. I get full a lot easier and I like eating more healthier foods rather than soda or pizza. I tried to eat that for lunch today actually and i couldnt even finish them. My body was in disguist. THIS PRODUCT REALLY DOES WORK!

Been taking it for 3 days. First day was jittery. Feeling fine now. Definitely suppressed my appetite. Working my way up slowly to 6 pills/day. I will only take one pill and take it at 4pm at very latest. I won't check my weigth, b/c I don't want to become obsessed with weight loss.

I've been taking Hydroxycut for two weeks now. I've lost around 5 pounds since my last weigh in. (Around a month ago) My body is more defined. I started taking 1 pill 3 times a day, and now i'm taking 2 pills 3 times a day. I asked my doctor before taking it, and with any weight loss pill, it's going to raise your heartbeat due to the high levels of caffiene in the pills. I personally have not experienced any chest pain. I do believe that it helps the person get into the mindset of working out and eating healthier and smaller portions. Also, take the pills 30 minutes to an hour before you eat, and you can notice a difference in the amount you eat and the amount of time it takes you to eat. Also, i've noticed that it takes away water weight, so it is important to drink alot of water while taking it. Good luck to everyone!

16MAY - Im back and been on the bill now for about 2 weeks. Initially I lost a pound or 2, and then I gained 4 probably due to all the extra water I have been drinking. It gave me more energy to work out, but other than that, I am exactly at the same weight I started. I can only handle 1 pill a day because even that amount of caffiene malkes my heart beat really fast. I dont think I will be finishing off the bottle, and just keep at it how I lost it before, work out more, and cut portion sizes, even though its only 5 pounds, its the hardest to lose! Good luck to all of you!

Hydroxycut Hardcore works somewhat. Here are the issues though. I am no stranger to these types of weight loss pills, so I knew that there would be some negative effects. I eased into the dosage, but found that I cannot do the 3 pills, twice a day that the bottle suggests. I can only handle 2 pills twice a day. Appetite suppression works well enough, as long as I take it 30 mins prior to my breakfast or lunch and then pay attention to how much I am eating. What I mean by that is, while taking the pills, I tend to feel full more quickly. Unfortunately, if I do not get my meal within a half hour of taking the pills, I become ravenously hungry and eat waaay too much once I do get a meal. I also tend to get queasy to my stomach from time to time while taking this supplement. You have to work it just right, but when you do, it is a big help.

Hydroxycut made my heart beat go way up. I had to go home from work due to chest pain. It also made me crap my pants. I had to buy adult diapers for work but it will be worth it if I can just drop a few more pounds by summer.
