    I take the Garcinia Cambogia alone. I take 2 capsules in the morning with water but sometimes I will have it with Diet A&W Root Beer, are a glass of milk. The first month I lost 30 lbs!!! I was like wtf is wrong with my scale!?!?!?!?! So I checked my scale made sure the batteries were in there correctly & just to be on the safe side I put in new batteries because I don't remember the last time I changed them. Popped them in then got on the scale and re-weighed myself... The scale wasn't lying. I had lost THIRTY POUNDS (30 lbs) in 1 full month.

    So, I continued to take them the following month & I lost another THIRTY POUNDS (30 lbs)!!! I was thinking to myself, "WOW, Dr. Oz was right this is the 'Holy Grail." I could not believe I had lost SIXTY POUNDS (60 lbs) in 2 months. So, I thought I would treat myself to some sweets for 2 weeks, which meant that I had to stop taking the Garcinia Cam. for those two weeks. When I am taking the diet capsules & I tried to have a small scoop of ice cream the 2nd week into this diet, it made me vomit. It's kind of like that drug for alcoholics, they take some tablet in the morning & when they go to take a sip or gulp, as men do, they vomit right away, well using Garcinia Cambogia, it does the same thing, in the beginning, the 1st month or less.

    So, now I'm into the 3rd month, I crashed the 1st two-weeks of my diet then weighed myself on Friday. I had GAINED 20 lbs back, I couldn't believe it but then again I went through 2 Dutch Apple Pies from Meijer's & 2 1/2 gallons of Vanilla Ice Cream. I knew I shouldn't have but it was tempting me so bad. But now my Body's used to me eating sweets but in smaller servings & I still get penalized for my weight loss. The weight that I need to get off just goes a LOT slower when you want to eat "anything you want."

    I started October 1, 2013 weighing in at 330 lbs (I never want to go there again...ugh) & now it's December 29, 2013, Between losing 60 lbs the first two months, then gaining 20 lbs back. I LOST FIFTY-FIVE POUNDS (55 LBS) in 3 -MONTHS!!! i now know this time round starting at the start of the New Year 2014 that I do have to stick to my diet & not go off my diet. Then when I'm down to my goal weight of 130 lbs, I will have to maintain it to stay that way.

    January 1st I am going to try taking the combination of both Garcinia Cambogia & Raspberry Ketone. Reason being is because with the Garcinia Cambogia, I don't get any boost of energy. But with the Raspberry Ketones it has Caffeine & Resveratrol in it which gives you a LOT of energy and MUST BE TAKEN BETWEEN 6A.M. to 8A.M. I keep mine right on my night stand next to the bed, so when I wake up between 7am-8am I'm feeling good & it will keep you wide awake. The only thing that you MUST watch out for is your Blood Pressure. Some of the diet drugs that are there that have those 2 ingredients spikes up your Blood Pressure. So with the Raspberry Ketone it says the serving size is 2 capsules. The way I take it is, I take 1 capsule everyday through the 1st week, 2nd week on day 1 try to add another capsule (equals your daily serving 2 caps). Try the 2 caps for the 2nd week & make sure you go to a drug store that has a blood pressure monitor, I would suggest if you can get there daily at the same time every day that would work out great. If not try to get your Blood Pressure monitored 3-5 days/week, every week on the same nights and at the same time. Oh NEVER take the Ketones 8-12 hours before bed time because if you take them let's say 8A.M., guess what? There is a good chance that you might still be WIDE AWAKE. When I took a diet caps not the advertised ones this year but a different one that has those 2 ingredients in it, I took 2 caps on week one & day 1. I could not sleep for nearly 38 HOURS & it effected my job performance as a Nurse.

    Okay that's all I have to say. Everything I have said in this comment is my own personal opinion of being on the said Diet Capsules in question.

    If you keep eating like that, you WILL gain it all back and more.... "miracle pill" or not!

    It truly amazes me the amount of people who do NOT know how to use the search function of these message boards... Please search for this very topic and you can drown yourself in results- most of which will tell you to save your time/money when it comes to shenanigans like this.

    I don't know whether THIS stuff works, as I've heard good and bad (as in 'doesn't work). But I have some friends who swear on Plexus. You have to 'buy into it' to get the best prices. It's set up like a pyramid scam, which is why I wouldn't ever buy it.

    There's so much negativity in this forum...wow...

    I tried Garcinia Camogia and noticed a difference in my energy...I think that if you take it for purposes of increasing your energy naturally in order to assist in burning more calories which would lead to an overall reduction in weight/inches, then have at it. Just make sure you follow the directions and refrain from abusing the supplements. Best wishes!

    I never gave a credit card, so there's no way they can charge me. Just wondering if anyone has tried it, no need to tell me it's a bad idea or I'm going to get ripped off, and I know the possible side effects. =)

    So.. You got them, are taking them, asked what people think, and then don't want to hear if it's bad?

    I think you've decided that they aren't already..
    Good luck, I guess?

    OP asked if they work, the majority said they don't. She asked a question and got answers. Was that not the point of this thread?

    Terrible side effects! I just stopped taking it because I was very ill for 4 days. At one point I considered going to the ER. Severe bloating, stomach pain, constipation, and cramps. Awful! I have several friends who didn't have any problems, though.

    You don't have much experience with internet forums, do you? This place is the tamest I've ever participated in. Not even the Hello Kitty Island Adventure forums are this polite.

    Also, telling someone that they are wasting their money is only helping them, not being mean. Disbelief is not mean, it's rational thinking.

    In case you aren't sure, this response post is also not mean.

    I've been taking both and have lost 28lbs in almost 2 months. It works But taken correctly and eating healthy. It does not suppress appetite, but works.

    Yep I bought some from GNC and they are TASTY!!! Don't know if they work though. Since you mentioned it I will pop one. At 20 calories each chew that's a lot to me.

    I prefer the word hilarious-or accurate.

    Look, I get the lure of these pills. Losing weight is HARD. It was so much easier and way more pleasant to gain it. And we've all fallen for this crap before. IF they worked, do you not think there would be a line out the door for them? So, are you going to waste more of your time and money hoping for miracles or are you just going to get to it?

    That's up to you.
