    I tried it......it gave me HORRIBLE nightmares!!! I know that sounds like a strange side effect, but I had to quit taking it because they were so terrible. On the upside, I've not run into anyone who has had the same experience, so hope it is good for you!

    It'll only work if you eat at a calorie deficit. Sadly, there is no magic pill to burn fat off your body, no cream to take away the cellulite, no special wrap to make our stomache smaller.

    I have tried it three different times and it caused terrible headaches each time....not worth it. Now I'm just carefully logging wirh MFP and excercising about 30 minutes a day and have lost 10 pounds on under 3 weeks. 45 more to go.

    It gave me MS-like symptoms! They went away immediately when I stopped taking it. Lost no weight, but lost my money. If you do a search on the forums, you can find lots of threads about it, and they all say the same thing. Save your money. Count your calories.

    didnt mean i expect a miracle in a week just a couple of pounds. I personally know someone who took it for 6 months and lost over 80 lbs. I said a week because i plan to check my weight again in a week.

    It doesn't do anything except make your wallet lighter.

    Thats great, congrats on your 10 pound weight loss. I plan on exercising as well so hopefully i can lose at least 10 pounds in a month.

    What else was this person doing over those 6 months? I would start with following their workout routine and not buy some pill . . .

    Before I was diagnosed with PCOS I was desperate and tried just about everything...garcinia cambogia included. Made me feel like crap...headaches, shakes, upset tummy...did not help me lose weight. Big waste of money!

    Actually she said she didnt work out just watched what she ate.

    I'm not encouraging you to stay on it, but a week probably isn't long enough to notice a difference. What else did the person who took it and lost weight do? Dietary changes? Increased exercise? Hey, if it works as a temporary "placebo" to get you on the right track and motivated (and you have no negative side affects) then take what you have, but I wouldn't use it long term.

    You can't outrun a bad diet. How about trying to eat at a calorie deficit and see how that does for you.
