So my Mom just bought Hydroxycut (Need Advice)

JonnyBrutal · 04-17-2009, 11:13 AM

Alright ladies, here's the thing. My mom has been working out for a good year or so but the last few months she's been getting down and depressed and saying she thinks she's getting fat again.

She's like 135lbs and she wants to lose 10 to 15lbs. I've been trying to help her and keep her motivated to go to the gym but it's been slipping for a bit. She just purchased Hydroxycut today (The original stuff) in hopes it will help her lose weight faster.

Any women out there take it or have taken it?

What where the results?

Does it work at all or is it just another weight lose pill scam?

Basically is she wasting her money or not?

Thanks for any and all replies.

EDIT: I will delete this post after I get some replies or when I am back from lifting, I see some Hydroxycut threads already, just want a few quick short answers that's all thank you.

i used to use regular hydroxycut about hmm....5 years ago. and i want to say it helped but i was also working with a trainer then and i dont think if i would cut the hydroxycut out, it would of made a difference. i had hit a plateau and the pills did not help me get past it at all.....
but my body is very accustomed to anything speedy like caffeine etc. so for someone who's body is not ass accustomed to stuff like that, it might help out a lot.

Alright well she wants to try it for a month or two and I told her I'd look around and see what people said about it but just today she bought it cuz she said she can't wait anymore! Gah mom!

Thanks for letting me know though

People will normally throw them in to lose those last few lbs. At this point it's a matter of changing up her diet...just the smallest change can bust her through a plateau.

Send me a PM if and I'd be happy to give you some ideas.

My mom took it last year, worked like a charm. She lost like 20 lbs in two months. Unfortunately she didn't listen to me and took it without working out or watching her foods so ended up with flabby arms and loose skins. So it worked for her, but would have been so much better if she had hit the gym too! Your mom is active so she probably wouldn't have the same problem.

As for me, I tried to take it but I reacted poorly with the cafeine and found it keeps me up for days, literally.

I guess it depends on the person.
