Hydroxycut

If you can stick with MyFintessPal, and set realistic goals you will lose weight. It's a given. Discipline is the key.
Good luck.

i am NOT a fan. I like to use diff supps and tried this one about two months ago. My heart was racing and I went to thebathroom like 25x a day (seriously)

Right now Iam liking Ripped Fuel5X, butI RARELY take the same thing more than a mnth in a row. I think the body adjusts quicker than we think.

I used this SOO many times, and no luck. Working out actually made me lose weight - try building more muscle then you will burn more calories at rest. Dont buy into quick fixes! you will be penniless and disappointed. You train and diet and you hard work WILL pay off!

Workhardplayhard my friend. It really works!

I recently tried it with no results. You'd be better off to keep your money. I've seen much better results just cutting out bread products.

Snake-oil - IMO. There is no magic pill. Repeat. There is no magic pill.

Here's how it works. Weigh yourself fully clothed, including holding your purse or wallet, using a very accurate scale. Go buy some Hydroxycut. Go back and weigh yourself and you will notice that you have lost the wieght of the money you had in your wallet that you spent on this product.

Also, the side effects look scary (liver damage?) - check out this 2009 FDA warning concerning these products:

They probably have changed the formula since then, but geez....dietary supps are such a shady biz.

P.S. There are cheaper stimulants and diuretics out there if you must....

I tried it a long time ago in conjuction with exercise and, like many here, saw no benefit to taking it over exercising without taking it.

So I opted to ditch the pill because it was costing me money, seemed to be an over-glorified caffiene pill, and included a lot of extra stuff that I figured I just didn't need.

but already tell I wont be able to lose more. It's hard for me to lose any weight anyways

You will lose more. From your start date, it looks like what happened might have been that you experienced the quick shedding of initial pounds (something not uncommon when rehauling your lifestyle) and then hit the place where your body naturally slows. PSCOS is also a factor - it's not that you can't lose weight, it's that your body has readjusted itself and is dealing with a medical condition.

I think most people think it's hard for them to lose weight - and sometimes it is. But I think what most people mean is "It's hard to lose weight FAST." And that's where they get into trouble.

I don't have any personal experience with hydroxycut, but something I wanted to mention... are you breastfeeding? You mentioned that you have a 7 month old... I am assuming you already know this but please do not take anything if you are! It would most likely pass through your milk.

I also agree with the person who suggested a lower carb diet with the PCOS. I don't have it, but I was tested for it because I was having so many problems. I switched to HIGH PROTEIN (which translated into low carb, the difference is that I focus on the protein, not the carbs) diet and I felt a lot better. The other thing I would highly suggest is weight training. You build muscle and burn more... plus you don't lose any muscle mass while you are dieting and that is important!

Good luck! And don't forget that this is marathon, not a sprint. You have to be patient with yourself and with your body. True weight loss is not quick or easy. You have to look at all aspects of your weight loss while you are doing this, not just the number!

DH bought some and didn't use it. I opt'ed to try it and I haven't seen any results. Then I read that the main ingredient is caffeine. Well, I drink a ****ton of coffee a day so no wonder I was feeling a bit more jittery, I was having more caffeine than I normally would.

If you want to try a stimulant start drinking a caffeinated beverage or consider 5 Hour energy.

I had used it a year ago, my energy levels went up and I lost weight without much if any exercise and little diet control. Sadly it isn’t easily available in India anymore and I believe they have changed the formula as well.

If you ever watch the commercials, read the fine print...as a matter of fact, it's probably printed on the box as well, but on the commercial, the fine print that flashes for just a moment says something to the effect of:

Results not typical. Your results may vary. Weight loss using Hydroxycut was in combination with diet and exercise.

This is the same fine print message you will get with every singe weight loss product that runs and ad on TV or in a magazine. It's not the product that does anything, it's the diet and exercise.

Weight loss is nothing more than a calorie deficit...period. Exercise will help increase the calorie deficit, and strength training will help with body composition as well as calorie deficit. However, you don't need exercise, you can lose weight simply by tracking your calorie intake and eating at a deficit. Exercise does allow you to eat more because it creates a higher deficit than not exercising.

Skip the pills.

Search the groups/threads for PCOS - a lot of people have faced it and though it presents it's own set of difficulties, I'll bet you can find a lot of support/advice for how to lose without wasting money on a supplement that isn't especially good for you.

^^That! I struggle with that, too, I'm always so amazed at people who lose like 30lbs+ in just a few months, but when you break it down, that's less than 2lbs a week, which is pretty much what I average, too. If I just with something for more than a couple weeks at a time, I'd have the same results, too...and so will you!

I used it some years ago.... it did work.....it controlled my hunger and i had ALOT of energy to exercise.... so i burned TONS of calories....and i lost alot of weight using it.... but u are right....pills alone wont work, u have to make this a lifestyle change, uz i didnt and as you see im her on MFP and need to lose weight again....lol

Oh ps:... dont expect it to be a majic pill....you still have to WORK over time!

Ditto

I use Hydroxycut before I run in the morning. It's a "real" energy boost and it helps me run farther/longer. It DOES give you the "jitters" when you first start using it. I only take 1 pill when I use it though. Maybe it's a mental thing, maybe not. It's up to you really.

No its true.... I used to take it Jus before i went to the gym. I would do 2 FULL HOURS od HIGH IMPACT Aerobics, with ease...atalk about ENERGY BOOST.... yall making me wanna get back some now... but nahhh... i dont think these things are good for ur body.... so if you can hold out and do it the natural way then please do
