" ... THIS IS THE FIRST TIME TAKING THIS, AND BY READING EVERYONE RESPONDS I GUESS THERE IS EXERCISING INVOLVED RIGHT? I MEAN EVEN IF YOUR TAKING ANY DIET PILLS WITH EXERCISE OR WITHOUT PILLS EXRCISING IS THE KEY. I'M I RIGHT? O DOES THIS REALLY WORK? "

" ... I am 42, 5'6", weigh 142lbs and am a mother of 3. I am having trouble losing weight. Never had a problem when I was younger. Now it's stubborn. I am exercising 5 times a week and really watching my diet. No sugar. Still, the weight is slow at coming off. I would like to lose only 10 pounds...before our vacation in June. I am encouraged by the reviews that this might actually work. I've take things in the past that didn't work at all. I'm hoping that my body isn't "immune" to this. "

" ... A question for you. My fiancee has just started taking this diet pill. She is 5'5 and about 130. She is just trying to lose a little (very little) fat in her lower belly. she eats right and works out 3 times a week. Is this the right product for her? Also, how much water should she drink? "

" ... I have been taking this for about a week now. I had the bowl movement thing at first and on my day 3 I started taking a multi vitamin and now no serious bowl movements. This stuff works great!!! I feel the energy especially when Im exercising!! "
04-29-2008 09:42:54 [ Ashley ]
" ... To Margie, of course the key is exercise, but this will help you with the energy and has certain ingrediants in it to help blast the fat!! "

" ... Hi ladies, I have been reading all of your reviews and decided to go purchase a bottle. I am 31 yrs old 5'4 & 193lbs. My job requires a lot of sitting. I dance once a week for 1 hr. I plan to work out 2-3 times a week. Are you all continuing to lose weight? or is the initial weight loss in the first two wks the extend to the weight loss. I would love to hear from women that have lost 20 or more pounds with this pill. I wish everyone continued weightloss success. "

" ... Well we started taking these pills on MOnday and we felt a little nauseated but we both have been really hungry at night. We don't drink as much water as we should and we were running two weeks ago and havent started running again. should we drink more water and exercise will this help and should we up our pills. "

" ... im on day 2 of taking the pill and i have no side affects at all...nothing, no headaches, dizzyness, heartburn or energy boost.... is there something wrong? is it not working? please answer.... "
04-30-2008 18:26:31 [ Serena ]
" ... I have been taking HM for almost 3 weeks and have had no side effects. I do drink the water they recommend, and I do take the multi vitamins. I acctually get alot more sleep at nights than I ever did since having the kids. I think that by the end of the day my body crashes because of the caffine in the pills. I sleep like a log. Does anybody else notice this? "

" ... ...After reading all these reviews I decided to purchase hydroxycut max, I just started on 3/3 and am loving it its been a little over a week and I have lost 7 lbs...I had the heartburn too but just started cutting out certain beverages and drink strictly water....I spin 3 x's a week and feel the difference in my energy level! I'll keep you posted... "

" ... Hey Everyone, I am on Day 5, dropped 3 pounds and on my 1st Day of the second step dosage (2 in the am, 2 in the pm)...I am 5'9" and 170 lbs, was 173 on Sunday (Now Thursday)...I love the energy and I run PT in the military...and I love the energy (didn't I already say that?)...I have to say I got a really bad migraine that required shots to get rid of, but that was because I ran 4.5 miles in the morning and didn't eat until 2pm (almost 6 hours later) and didn't drink enough water...shame on me...but what has worked for me was making sure I drink at least two big Smart Water bottles a day, that seems to be a good amount that keeps me hydrated. I take HM and the GNC Active Women VitaPak and my appetite is literally nil...I have to force myself to eat something..at least twice a day. I love it and highly recommend it. My goal is 135, what I was when I got back from Iraq... Good Luck Ladies! "

" ... is there anyone here that has tried slimquick and how does hydroxycut max differ/compare to slimquick extreme? i'm only asking because i have heard great reviews for both and still not sure which one to buy... i'm leaning towards more "max" but can anyone give me some feedbacks? thanks. "

" ... I just started today. I hit a plateau after losing 90lbs. I still have that last 15lbs to go. But my question is, I take other supplements before I workout, does anyone know if these would be okay to take with the Max? I usually take Leucine-xt and Nitric Oxide Maximizer. Thanks for any help. "
05-04-2008 18:21:49 [ Mindy ]
" ... I started taking hydroxycut max-wight loss for women 3 days ago and have noticed results. I have lost 6 lbs and can go through the day with no nap. I don't feel jitters or have any other side affects. I year ago I was in a bad accident and was unable to walk for 4 months and I have not been able to get my mojo back. I now can go through an hour cardio session and incorporate weights without feeling burnt out. I do drink more then the recomended amount of water and have a healthy diet. I also recomend taking daily multi-vitamins. By doing so the pill can fully focus on the bolism. The pill is designed based on womens horomones and in order for it to work you want those horomones to be balanced, which taking the multi-vitamins for women will ensure that. I truely believe that this is the most effective diet pill out there. Its a no lose situation if you have the drive to lose weight and be healthy. "
05-04-2008 20:31:03 [ LeeAnn ]
" ... I searched high and low to find someone to relate to on this product. I began a week ago. i eat all the right things I now realize I don't consume enough water. I weigh 206lbs and I work out with a PT 2x's a week. I am serious about making a healthy life style change. Yeah we do look for miracles, but I realize with anything including HM, what we put in i s what we get out . I will post my progress now that I know of prople who are traveling the same road as myself. "
05-05-2008 04:03:05 [ Nikki South Africa ]
" ... Hi all. I started hydroxycut max today. I had one at 7h00 and one at 11h00. There has been no side effects as yet just lots of energy and I feel very alert. Will keep you updated as to how it goes. "

05-05-2008 09:43:25 [ Linda ]
" ... I'm not sure I can rate on this product as of yet. I'm a previous Hardcore customer and I lost a lot of weight with that. I had the GNC guy talk me into trying Max, saying it was geared more towards women. I've been on max for a few weeks now and nothing.. and I really dont eat that much. I havent gained anything but I havent lost either. Has anyone tried both? If so, I'd like to get your comments. "
05-05-2008 15:05:00 [ Desiree ]
" ... Today is my first day 1/1 and I feel great I took 1 at 5am and 1 at 1130 I worked out for 10min in the morn. woke up late and walked and worked out at 1pm. I feel great so alert I work in a stressfull environment and found myself today to be so relaxed and calm. I just hope that I can sleep tonight I usually get 4 to 5 hours of sleep I hope I sleep tonight I'm 41 5'5 and 163lbs I'll keep you updated. Goodluck everybody. O yeah I do drink lots of water. by the way I went to the bathroom several times today and i eat pretty healthy "
05-05-2008 16:55:10 [ Rachael ]
" ... Just thought I would provide an update....I have been taking HM for 2 weeks now and I am definitely seeing the results! I have been exercising every day, cardio and weight training, and drinking more than the recommended amount of water. My appetite has decreased, my energy level is high and I am almost always in a good mood. AND I have lost almost 8 lbs! Good luck to everyone and I will post more progress later! "
05-05-2008 18:54:33 [ Jennifer ]
" ... Hello. I just began this product 2-3 days ago and I haven't had any side effects that i've read on here. The only thing I've noticed is how I want to move around a lot more which is good because I am always wanting to excercise and I'm sure this will only improve that. ALSO I work in a grocery store where I go shopping for people who buy groceries on the internet. We are timed in this so speed is important. Especially at 5am, which is when I begin work. It definately helped me feel more awake,alert and faster at getting the job done quickly. I am kind of nervous about moving onto taking two-three pills now(which begins tomorrow) I can only hope it doesn't make me sick in anyway. I've lost a few pounds on my own just by dieting and excercising but it's getting to a point where it's becoming a lot harder to take off the weight and keep it off.(I know it's always going to be like that) so that's why I got this, to give me some help. I'll keep in touch and let everyone know who reads this how things are going. "
05-05-2008 19:30:22 [ Stephanie L ]
" ... Hey I just started hydroxycut today. I feel great but I am already noticing the bowel movements! I don't really mind because I don't go that often. I'm not having any other side effects. I work out a few times a week-trying to make that more, and I am a vegetarian so I don't really diet, just try to eat a little less carbs. I'm a college student so I am a big partier and that beer is getting to me! I'm going to try to cut that out a little bit -or stick to liquor. haha "
05-05-2008 20:06:59 [ Lori ]
" ... Hi, I haven't tried this pill yet but I was wondering if anyone could tell me if it works very well at supressing appetite. I took phentermine, a preion diet pill before and it worked so good at supressing my appetite. I just don't want to spend $70 for them, plus I'm not even OVER weight and I don't think the doctor would give them to me now. I just want to loose about 7-10 lbs to get me back down to my pre-baby weight and I really need something to control my appetite. Has anyone tried phentermine and know whether Hydroxycut Max works as well at appetite control? "
05-06-2008 05:40:15 [ lindsay ]
" ... hi, when i first started taking this i found myself raging out for no reason..but now im about 3 weeks in and i feel good.. i lose half to one pound per day and loving it. "

" ... Did any of you start out taking the regular hydroxycut because i want to switch over but i wanted to know if it was more intense w/ better results?? "

" ... I have been taking Hydroxycut for about two months and I have lost 10 pounds. I have been working out regularly (3-4 times a week) and watching the carbs during dinner. Should I take a break in between my next bottle? This will be my third in a row. "
05-06-2008 13:13:14 [ Desiree ]
" ... Today day 2 1/1 this morning i worked out 47mins turbo jam 5am and had alot of energy. when I got to work about 7am I started feeling like I had a mood swing I felt evil and had to talk myself from feeling so quick tempered and mad for no reason. About 3 in the morning I was ichy all over but it stopped after I worked out. Now about 3pm I got a little pressure headache but am drinking plenty of water hopefully that goes away I sleep about 4 hours last night going to the bathroom alot. No abnormal bowel movements. Anyway I will checked back later with more updates. No weight loss yet but don't feel bloated or nothing "

" ... I sincerely want women to know........this product really works. Im 46, 5'9 a mom of 4 children. Have been on this for 6 weeks....and am down from 150 to 134. Absolutely no side effects aside from the strange BM's the first few days of getting used to. I am still on the 2 / 2 dosage as i was afraid to up it to 3. This is undoubtedly the best product on the market. Good luck to all. I am very very impressed with this product. "
05-06-2008 18:40:05 [ Jennifer ]
" ... I began taking two pills and I just feel the need to run, but lost energy fast. Is that normal? I was working out like a bullet and it kinda scared me because i had a hard time catching my breath and i wanna know if that is normal. I also kind of feel jittery but not like insanely jittery. I'm wondering now how it would feel to be on three pills. i would like to know how it affected others. Since this place doesn't allow me to post my email, i'll be looking back to see if anybody has replied. THANKS! "

" ... Hi Arya. I only know how to work it out in kg. Take your height eg. 153cm the last two digits 53 is your goal weight that is in kilograms. Hope this helps "
05-09-2008 08:49:08 [ Fallon ]
" ... I've been on this a week now and have lost 3 lbs. I think it's water weight though. I'm eating clean, watching calories, working out at least 5 days a week. I can tell I look thinner (again water weight). I felt great until yesterday when I started having "brain fog" and was overly hungry all day, even after eating. I don't like it at all. What's going on? Today I only took 1, instead of 2. Still hungry though. Hate that! I think I'll stop for a while and see what happens. "
05-09-2008 10:35:29 [ Desiree ]
" ... hey jennifer i'm like you today 2pills i went to work out had energy at first but got so tired quick and out of breath i got it back quickly but had to do my turbo jam at low impact i like to do my exercise in the morning before I go to work right after i take the pills i work 12 and half hour shifts so don't have time in the evening but maybe i'm going to have to try and work out at lunch time. i'm down from 163 to 158 on day 4. "
05-09-2008 16:46:16 [ Desiree ]
" ... Arya you are 5'4 and 135 I don't think you should loose anything. You probably look great already. Amanda how old are you? I did have a mood swing the second day I took HM but have'nt had it since today is day 5 start as recommended with one tab and drink plenty of water you may be alright. "
05-10-2008 06:01:00 [ Day ]
" ... Okay so it has been a week now i wight 164.0 maybe a little less im on 2/2 and i feel no side effects....i hvent really lost alot of weight, i did haveaot of BM the first couple of days now its over... We will see how it continues to work. "
05-10-2008 16:08:21 [ Sarah ]
" ... Hello all. I started HM 4 days ago and I am on my first day of 2/2. Last night i had a killer headache but I had a very long 19 hour day. I am 5'10 and have always had trouble with my weight. I go up so easily but not down. I started 4 days ago at 184. I am scared to step on the scale but this morning i did and it was 180.8 So down 3 lbs. I have been watching what I eat more carefully and continuing to work out regularly. I am trying to be more aware of when i am hungry and when I am bored and also stop the late night eating. That is where alot of pounds get packed on. I hope to continue with my weight loss and get down to a goal of 150-155. Is that reasonable for my height. I wish everyone good luck and much success on their journey. "
05-10-2008 21:43:17 [ Edith ]
" ... Hello Ladies, I'm going to start tomorrow. A little nervous b/c of the side effects. I have one more week left of nursing school and a Final next Monday, so I can totally use the energy boost. I've been up and down for years now. WW has helped alot I was 228lbs and got down to 180 doing WW w/o excercising. Which I know is bad, because I know excercise is key!! My mind is motivated to go to the gym but my body just doesn't have the energy to do it. I even purchased Turbo Jam to do at home and it's still sitting in the box, I used it only twice. I unfortunately went back up to 197 and am started to get frustrated. Especially when graduation is just 2 weeks a way and I have a wedding in 3 weeks. So Im joining the Hydroxycut Max Train and hoping to get my butt in the gym and get on the Weight Loss Train till I reach goal. I'm 5'3 and thankfully the weight doesn't look sloppy on me but I'm tired of it. I'll let you know how I do once I start tomorrow. "
05-11-2008 01:29:13 [ jrnlyn ]
" ... im now taking hydroxycut max, lowest dosage, im not seeing result just yet and what i noticed so far is that i eat more and sleep more. I dont know why but before i started taking it i kinda expectng that i will problems sleeping but it appears that its the other way around. "
05-11-2008 13:04:40 [ Vicki ]
" ... Love hydroxycut, have use it in the past with good results, was just wondering if anyone has noticed sunsitivity with taking "MAX"? "
05-11-2008 14:04:34 [ Jennifer ]
" ... I began taking this stuff about a week ago and it really works. I've lost 4-5 pounds! I was 182 in the beginning, it went to 180 and today i was 178! i began taking three and i honestly don't feel anything , like side effects of course. "
05-12-2008 15:26:04 [ Laura ]
" ... Okay i am having trouble with jitters.. I am taking between 1-3 pills and cant imagine getting up to6 pills! Was wondering if ne one else is taking methadone with this supplement... do you think it affects the way the methadone is bolized. I also experience heartburn.. I have been watching what i eat with excersize 5 days a week... any suggestions..... I also think it may be making my cystitis worse. Anyone else agree?? "
05-12-2008 15:41:03 [ Jazmine ]
" ... Well I finally broke down and bought HM yesterday and took my first pill this morning I feel like I have more energy but well see when I get to the gym tonight. I am 25 years old with three kids just 2 years apart I have always been able to loose the weight but my son is almost 3 and I am heavier than I have ever been weighing 175lbs.. I have set a goal of loosing 40lbs by September. I bought a gym membership in March and I go to the gym on an average 2-3 times a week including 45min of elliptical followed by weight (arms one day legs the next) I have not been able to loose any weight though so I though I would give HM a try. I am writing everything down that I eat and drink to be accountable. Wish me luck I have a wedding dress to fit in to "
05-13-2008 08:05:54 [ Ayi ]
" ... I'm on day 4 and started taking 2/2. So far, I definitely notice an increase in energy. I've had BM every day since the first day though. Not sure if that is part of the results permanently, but that is the only side effect I've experienced so far. I haven't seemed to lose any weight yet. I've been working out twice a day doing cardio and free weights for 45-65 minutes. I hope to lose at least 20 lbs before my wedding in June! Wish me luck all! Also, thanks to everyone who's posted. I (like some others I've seen posting) and extremely sensitive to high quantities of caffeine so I err on the side of caution when it comes to diet pills, but would like to extra boost just the same. I hope I see some weight loss by the end of this week. "
05-13-2008 08:07:34 [ Ayi ]
" ... Also I'm 5ft 7in tall and weight 195. My goal weight is at least 145 to be fit and in shape. I used to be in the past, but it's always been work. "
05-13-2008 09:58:58 [ MT ]
" ... Took my first pill this morning and, so far, just feel energized but not jittery. I hope to lose about 20+ by July, Wish me Luck!
I am 5'7", and weigh 247. Ultimate goal is to get down to about 180. (I want to have a nice hour glass, not a stick figure) "

" ... Started working out 5 weeks ago and lost 10lbs...my goal is to loose 10 a month so I started HM last week, I know that I'm sensitive to anything I take, so I only take one before lunch and one at 3 pm...in one week I've notice and extra pound or 2 than what I normally lose working out 4 times a week, I also eat a low carb, low fat diet. Use it as a diet AID not a miracle worker.. "

" ... I quit taking HM 4 days ago. I lost about 4 pounds during the week and a half that I was taking it. I know now that it was mostly water weight b/c I gained it all back even though I'd cut back on what I was eating and increased my exercise. Hm. I think I might try it again though...I just couldn't stand the brain fog and headaches I was getting when I upped it to 2/2 for a few days. I loved how it made me feel when I started with just 1/2 or 1/3. I tried going back down but the same thing happened. Now that I've been off for a few days, I think I'll give it another try. Anyone else had these problems? "
05-13-2008 18:03:33 [ Amanda ]
" ... Hey Desiree, thanks for the advice. I'm 26. I ended up getting HM after all. I actually had somewhat of a mood swing the other day (sitting on my closet floor literally crying that none of my clothes fit. My boyfriend now thinks I'm crazy! lol) and that was day 3. Since then I'm been fine! I think my body has gotten used to them. We'll see what happens. "
05-14-2008 06:20:26 [ Swedish ]
" ... Another update. For any of you leary about this product and its efficiency...don't be. Im 5'8 started out at 150 and after 7 weeks am down to 131. It truly truly works. Increasing exercise, suppressent of appetite and such great bolism. I highly highly recommend this product. "
05-14-2008 07:04:05 [ Ayi ]
" ... Stepped on the scale this morning and I've lost 2 lbs in 5 days. That's exciting! I hope it's fat and not water loss. I'll keep you all posted on my progress. "
05-14-2008 09:48:49 [ Natasha ]
" ... Hey ladies, I'm on my third day and feeling pretty good, except for some itching on my knees, elbow, and hands. Itching is a listed as a side effect on the bottle so I was wondering if anyone else experienced it and if it eventually goes away? "
05-14-2008 13:42:33 [ arya ]
" ... thanks a lot girls....i lost 5lbs in 8days..from today i hav to start 3caps 2times,but with 2caps 2 times i am feeling like nausea..what shall i do???i mean shall i go for 3caps or remain with 2caps only....plz do hlp "
05-14-2008 16:12:35 [ Laura ]
" ... I think ive been taking this product for like 3 weeks.... I noticed that if i take too much too late in the day then my anxiety is almost unbearable so i stick to 1-2 a day and think ive noticed some difference... im scared to get on the scale tho cuz i dont want to be disappointed... maybe ill wait alittle longer to weigh in... I also use this as supplement to excersize and low cal diet... does ne one think that this product wont work if i dont follow the amount that it reccomends on the bottle?? "
05-14-2008 21:35:46 [ Jackie ]
" ... I just bought my MAX today.. starting tomorrow... I'm going to Florida on June 4th, so I hope I see results by then =] Let you guys know how it's going... by the way, does anyone know what you can and can not take with the MAX? THANKS! "
05-15-2008 09:00:58 [ arya ]
" ... dats cool jackie...gud luck...ya do let us know how u feeling....i dnt think u need to take anything else with HM..It will surely work jst watch ur diet n do excersize..u'll surely notice the change in 7 days... "
05-15-2008 09:51:57 [ Brooke ]
" ... I've used Hydroxycut before and lost an amazing 85lbs. in 7 months, coupled with jogging 4 miles a day and the Weight Watchers diet.( I was up to 225lbs when my son was born) That was 6 years ago. I just purchased my bottle of H Max last week and have been on it since Monday, upped the dosage today to 2 and have been doing great! I've lost 3 lbs already. I'm hoping to lose a total of 35lbs, I'm 5'2 and weigh 162lbs. It's important to remember to drink lots of water to avoid getting headaches. Also, the BMs are very normal, the product is just cleaning you out. Good luck to everyone on their weight loss! Keep healthy and motivated! "
05-15-2008 15:49:07 [ Jenn from TX ]
" ... i am on day 4 with this and so far i seem to be doing good. i have lost 3 lbs..but my weight fluctuates so much every day..so i will see...i work out 30-45 minutes a day 5 days a week and i watch what i eat....my gi doc put me on some new medicine called amitiza..and i hate it...(they say its safe to take with this) but the side effects to the amitiza is awful...we shall see how that works for me..but so far i love the HC Max! "
05-15-2008 15:50:39 [ Jackie ]
" ... Okay, I'm dying from my allergies, can I take Sudafed, or anything? I don't wanna take something unless I know it isn't going to interfer wuth the HM "
05-15-2008 23:12:52 [ Dee ]
" ... Jackie, Sudafed has pseudoephedrine in it which will also increase your heart rate and energy levels. Maybe you should try something like plain Zyrtec instead. It's OTC now. Today was my 1st day w/ max. I'm looking for serious results and am ready to work my butt off to get them. I'm getting married in a year, and don't want to look like a marshmelow walking down the aisle! "
05-15-2008 23:15:39 [ Dee ]
" ... But Jackie, I would def ask your pharmacist before taking any allergy medication, or any med w/ max. I'm also trying WW but I find it hard to do so I'm hoping max will help. I tend to eat all of my points early, am starving by night, and then pig out. "
05-16-2008 08:41:16 [ Brenda ]
" ... I have been taking other diet pills but have not seen any results. I am going to go buy Hydroxycut Max today and I am excited and hoping it will work for me. I do have one concern.... Will this pill affect my birth control pill? Does anyone know? "
05-17-2008 11:01:53 [ Jessica ]
" ... Hello ladies! I just bought the pills yesterday and I'm about to take my first dose! Wish me luck! I will keep you up dated. I'm 20 years old, about 230 pounds. 5 foot 7. will weigh in, in two weeks! "
05-18-2008 10:49:41 [ Edith ]
" ... Hello Ladies, I started taking HM a week ago and at first I felt a little heart burn but after a few days it went away. I started taking 2 pills twice a day and on the second day of doing so, I got red spots on my face (like little pimples), has anyone had a similar experience? I called HM and they said I might be allergic to one of the ingredients so I had to stop taking them. I totally notice the decrease in my energy after stopping them. Was just wondering if anyone experienced any allergic reactions? "
05-18-2008 10:52:43 [ Deborah ]
" ... I haven't been taking Hydroxycut Max for very long. Less than a week actually. But I've taken a couple other diet pills and this one is the best so far. I'm a dancer but have always had problems with weight. I exercise/dance ALOT but never seemed to be able to shed the pounds. I've tried Lean System 7 (didn't feel or see any change) and Slimquick Extreme (made me feel dabillitatingly ill). Hydroxycut Max unlike the others is giving me non jittery energy, I can already see results, and I don't feel nauseous or have a headache! What a concept! One of my guy friends lost 40 pounds with the help of Hydroxycut Hardcore, so if the women's max version is comparable to that, I look forward to what's to come! P.S. I have had more BM's so.......yeah. Small price to pay though. "
05-18-2008 10:54:35 [ Deborah ]
" ... Brenda, I did an online search about the effects of Hydroxycut Max and Birth Control and got mixed results. So I called my pharmacist and they said that it shouldn't have any effect what so ever. I'm thinking about taking a second form of contraceptive just in case, but according to my pharmacist, you should be good to go. "
05-18-2008 21:56:29 [ Erin ]
" ... Hi everyone. I just bought this pill and am confused about the afternoon dosage. It says if you are exercising to take it before exercise...Does that mean I need to eat with it too? Coz then I'll just be full while I'm working out. Also, how soon before your workout do you take it? One final question, does anyone do the South Beach Diet with this pill?? I'm concerned because South Beach limits your caffeine in the first 2 phases. Thanks for the help. I am 5'6, 23 years old, and weigh 150. I just want to get down to 135-140 and just look better in a bikini when I go to the beach in July! "
05-19-2008 07:29:38 [ Christine ]
" ... Hi everyone, I bought HM last night and cant wait to start it. I am 150lbs and 5'6". I bought it bc I have fat on my hips and butt, that I would like to eliminate. I have been consistantly working out and trying to eat as best as possible for about 3 weeks. I am a bit apprehensive of the side effects, but wanted help in losing that fat. I will let everyone know how it works for me. Oh and def going to do research on ot effecting my BC... "
05-19-2008 10:32:59 [ Dominion ]
" ... Hello all,
I started taking HC Max yesterday. I felt fine slept well last night. A slight headache after taking my first dose today. Could be because of the amount of caffeine (I don't normally drink drinks with caffeine in them). I just went on a fitness kick about 2 months ago and thought that this would help. I drank ½ gallon of water yesterday, did weights and aerobic exercise last night. My goal is to lose between 45 and 55 pounds. I will post an update on Monday.
"
05-19-2008 11:44:19 [ Ayi ]
" ... So when I upped my dosage to 3/3 this past Saturday, I was really nauseous and had to drink even more water than I did when I took 2/2. I think I'm going to stick to 2/2. I decided to take one day off (yesterday) and this morning when I went to weight myself, I was 3 lbs heavier. That was disappointing, but I'm going to keep trying. Wish me luck! "
05-19-2008 14:07:17 [ Mimi Magnolia ]
" ... Hello everyone!!! Well I'm excited to see what result I will get. I've never used any type of pill for weighloss before. I read your comments and I see a lot of positive feedback. I'm mainly taking this as an energy booster, I only have a a few more pounds to lose but getting to the gym has been a hassle lately. So, I figured I needed a little boost getting me there. email me with questions or suggestions. at mimi.magnolia at yahoodotcom "
05-19-2008 14:12:07 [ Mimi ]
" ... Got it on Friday and took some one Saturday...felt like I had a pot of coffee and kinda clamy. Hmmm not jittery not nauseous...went and worked out some difference on my stamina. Didn't take it on Suday was afraid I was not going to be able to sleep and I work early morning on Monday..today Monday I will take one when I get home around 3pm and go workout. I will try to find a method that will give me that little boost I need to keep going to the gym on a reg. basis.

05-19-2008 22:35:36 [ paps ]
" ... i just started hydroxycut max yesterday.. i went to the gym.. it was great.. lots of energy .. today i didnt go to the gym and i took the pills... i feel edgy and snappy... somehow "angry" or looking for an excuse to yell at someone.... a little about me... i NEVER EVER EVER get like this... so im thinking it might be the pills//// anyone else feel these hormonal outrages?

05-20-2008 10:03:43 [ Esther ]
" ... Hi! I'm 21, 5'5 and started out last week at 132 lbs. I usually can't drop below 130. But Hydroxycut Max is really working for me! I'm now 128 lbs...I've been watching what I eat and working out 5-6 days a week so hopefully this gets me to my goal of 125 lbs! "
05-20-2008 11:03:55 [ Nat ]
" ... I started taking HM on Sunday. So, three days into it and I feel fine. I actually feel very regular. The only thing I noticed is that I don't need my morning coffee. I'm 26, 5'5 and 187lbs. I just found out yesterday that I am 187lbs...very dissappointing, considering a few years ago I was only 120lbs. I guess getting older and working at an office sitting down for 8 hours a day didn't help. I really hope this product works for me. I need to lose about 40lbs, so I will let you all know. I start the 2/2 tomorrow, and I'm really hoping it doesn't make me sick like a lot of people here. I've taken Lipo 6X in the past and lost 20lbs on that. I'm trying HM because my boyfriend used Hydroxycut Hardcore in the past and he says it works. We'll see... "
05-20-2008 15:02:35 [ Terri ]
" ... I went to the gym and worked out 5 times last week. Also went yesterday briefly however. I just took my first HM pill just now. Wish me luck guys I headed to the gym to workout with a trainer in an hour. Currently 190lbs 4 foot 11 inches. Looking to lose 20 - 50lbs by my wedding date December 08. "
05-20-2008 15:42:22 [ Natasha ]
" ... paps -- the edginess goes away in a day or two. I was the same way and I never get angry either...you'll be alright. I'm 8 days into it and have lost 5lbs already. Hang in there the results are worth it! "
05-20-2008 20:31:01 [ kelley ]
" ... I started the MAX 2 days ago. Have been taking the hardcore for about a year now. Haven't seen ne thing in the max yet, but lost about 12 lbs on the hardcore. I'm pretty small...5 ft, started at 130. After taking hardcore for so long, down to 118 now. Looking mostly for muscle tone. But my side effects happened mostly while taking hardcore. None so far with the max. But my body might jus be used to the hardcore tolerance....who knows! "
05-20-2008 21:55:46 [ Jackie ]
" ... Thanks for your help guys.. I actually had to stop taking the HM for a lil while, because I had hay fever.. ughhh.. but I am going to start again, tomorrow.. I did notice though when I was taking it that I gained 3 punds then lost 3 pounds, is that normal? "
05-21-2008 10:35:45 [ Nikki ]
" ... Day 16 on HM and I must say I feel awful. 3 says in on the 2/2 dose and I totally crashed. I cut back to 1-2x per day (8am w/multi vitamin and 2pm). I still don't sleep well and am anxious/sleepy/bummed out all day long. I drink plenty of water/eat lo-cal/and exercise 4x per week. I am 33, 5'3/129 lbs trying to lose 10lbs (lost 3 so far). I just wish this (brain fog) feeling would go away. "
05-21-2008 14:09:36 [ jessica ]
" ... I just started using the regular hydroxycut... but I was wondering for anymore who has used the regular, if there is a difference in weight loss between regular and max? I'm interested in trying this instead once I'm done with my regular supply. "

" ... Hello Girls, I wan't to start taking HM but I am a little bit confused are you supposed to take them before you work out?? Is that going to elevate my heart a lot?? I currently workout 5 days a week. I do 30 min of cardio and 30 mins of weights. I just started doing that like a month ago I am 187lbs and need to go down to 125. I am only 24 years old and a little bit woried about my health with this weight. "

I dont have any side effects just really energized. I am 19, 135lbs and 5'2". i am trying to get back down to around 115-120, i eat really good, work out at least 5 days a week and i am trying to keep my water intake above 8 glasses a day. I will keep you posted but so far i am happy with it! "
05-22-2008 13:34:04 [ Cristine ]
" ... when i first started taking it, it kind of made me nauseated, but i just cut down my doses. I'm taking 2 twice a day on average, i started taking it exactly a month ago, and i've already lost almost 10 pounds. i went from 158 to 149. honestly, i don't really work out as much as i should, but it was cut down my cravings by a lot without me starving. i didn't think it would work, but it definitely did. this is the first real diet pill i've tried out for a long period of time, so i'm pretty happy.

" ... I'm on day 2 of hydroxycut max. I haven't experienced any of the side effects I've read about yet, which is good (I don't drink coffee or much caffeine so I thought I might be particularly sensitive to the product).
What I have noticed so far is that it seems like I'm starving pretty much constantly, despite eating normally (3-4 small meals/day). Has anyone else experienced this? I exercise (walking everyday, hiking/rockclimbing multiple times a week), but haven't changed my regimen since I started Hydroxycut. "

" ... I started using HM for almost 2 weeks now and I changed my eating habits and I haven't been able to work out as much as I want to but I still noticed my clothes feeling looser! I will continue using it and try to exercise more (because now I have more time to exercise) but it's great...no complaints. There were extra BM but it's not that bad. "

Just started taking this, and am on 2 a day and I notice a difference. However, I'm feeling a little high/lightheaded. Anyone know why? "
05-28-2008 13:37:18 [ Melissa ]
" ... I was taking Lipo 6 before Hydroxycut Max and the energy I got from Lipo was ten times better.. I don't feel an energy boost from this product at all.. however, it seems to cut fat better than Lipo did. I am seeing better results from my workouts then I did with Lipo but I wish the energy boost was there. It's been about two weeks now and I'm beginning to have bouts of nausea.. it comes and goes.. it's been three days now.. off and on and I'm not sure if I'm fighting a flu or if it's the pills? Seems this morning about twenty minutes after taking the first three for the day I felt sick. I drink lots of water and usually eat within an hour of taking them. I'm gonna give it another couple days and if the nausea doesn't go away I'm gonna stop taking the pill and see what happens. I'll keep you posted. "

05-29-2008 06:57:48 [ T8o) ]
" ... I have been taking this pill for awhile now. And so far so good. But i have taken other pills, over the years. I just had a baby and i am dieting and working out. I have been reading a lot of these comments and i think a lot of people here arent in the mind set to lose weight and take any type of pill. If you are a moody and depressed person, then no matter what you do, that is how you are going to feel. Even if you lose some weight it won't be enough. And some of you are still eating whatever and wonder why you have 50 bowel movements. I'm not here to down anyone, but you have to realize that your mind has to be set in a mind frame that now matter happens, i'm still going to be happy. Don't blame on the pills "i get moody" "i don't feel right" and you know you might not, so any type of pill is not going to work for you. Start working out and eating right. And people, when you are trying to lose weight, "NOT EATING" is not the key. You have to have food for energy maybe thats why a lot of you are getting sick and feeling the nausea side effect. You have to look at every aspect! But these type of pills do help!!!! "

" ... I did HM and I lose 15lbs. But it made me feel weird. I ignored it. but after about a week I couldn't take it. So I started Smart for life cookie diet. I am 5'5" weighed 196 lbs. now after 3 1/2 months I am 148 lbs. I feel great. I will never use anything again to make me feel sick, and compromise my health. I am not saying to do the same it's just what I choice. "

" ... ...Hi there, I started about a month and a half ago, and am down 10lbs. That's with forgetting to take alot of the time, like weekends and such. I try to work out every day but that doesn't always happen either. I'm really happy with what i lost so far. And am going to try alot harder just to see what a difference it makes. I would like to lose another 50-60. But would really like to lose 20 by July 4! So far so good no real side effects if you drink alot of water. sometimes have a hard time falling asleep, but sometimes I just crash, weird huh!?... good luck everybody!! "
05-30-2008 09:06:23 [ NiKKi ]
" ... I am going to be purchasing this product. But I was reading mostly all the comments already posted and most of you all have same/similar or different side effects. To the people whom have questions about frequent bowel movements and headaches, Not everyone is going to have the same side effects. Having more regular bowel movements is healthier for you and can
help you lose 2x the weight than others because all of your access is flushing right out and your not gaining water or any other type of weight. I say up your dosage and give it a shot. Be back in a few weeks with my results. "

I'm wanting to lose 35 pounds and believe that with this product and diet and exercise it's definitely possible! I love the energy boost it gives me! I just started taking 2x2 yesterday and felt like I could run a mini-marathon! So far I haven't had any negative side effects other than a slight headache. I haven't really started working out hard just yet. I wanted to see how my body reacted before I jumped into a steady routine. I can only imagine how well it will work once I get back into the gym! I'm looking forward to the possibility of outstanding results! "

" ... Hey Girls! I just started taking MAX on Monday!! Before I started I weighed 161.4. I am now on day 5 and I weigh 157.0! 4 pounds in 5 days that makes me VERY happy! The energy level is Great. I try to workout at least 6 times a week. I do have to eat something small after I take my dosage or I get sick to my stomach. Other than that I am having no problems!

" ... hey everyone. i just started yesterday and i'm loving the energy!!! i went to the gym and i did not went to leave i was so energized. this morning i had some side effects like i was tired, nauseated and had a little headache but now i feel fine just a little tired still. i was wondering has any notice that their pee was like crazy bright yellow like if you peeing yellow gatorade cuz mine is and i dont know if i should be worried or not. well keep you guys posted on my results "
06-03-2008 19:51:27 [ Theresa ]
" ... I started taking HM on 30 May. So far no side effects, the only thing is when I come off my "Hydroxycut High" I get really sleepy. I am up 2/2. It has helped to curb my appetite, which is good. I have also noticed my energy is up. I did forget to weigh myself when I started, but I am noticing that I am toning up. My husband is starting to notice it too. "
06-04-2008 08:16:39 [ Mel ]
" ... I'm not sure if anybody has addressed this yet. But for those who are getting sick and having trouble sleeping. The maximum dose is 3 pills 2 times daily. I noticed somebody was taking 3 pills 3 times daily. "
06-04-2008 10:32:04 [ Missy ]
" ... I've been taking Hydroxy since the 9th of May. I have been exercising everyday, sometimes twice a day and also eating better (cutting out snacks/sweets) and I have not had any weight loss. I may be gaining some mucscle, but very minimal. I guess this just isn't my weighloss answer! I have never really noticed any real energy after taking the pills but do notice a slump in the evenings! Never felt jittery/sick. Maybe had a slight appetiete decrease. "
06-04-2008 11:37:29 [ Heather ]
" ... Hi everyone,
I am on my 4th day, taking 2 pills twice a day and I already lost 5 lbs. I haven't had any side effects so far. I feel energized all day long and I am in a much better mood. I am 27 years old, 5'3. I started out at 127 lbs and now I weigh 122 lbs. I work out 4 times a week for an hour each time and started eating much healthier. I really want to look nice and toned for my wedding in August. My question is what do I do when I hit my goal weight? Do I continue to take the maximum dosage? Do I stop taking it all together? I will keep everyone updated on my progress. Good luck to everyone else!! "

" ... I am on my second week 3/2 I drink noting but water or unsweet tea. I eat healthier and do a little exercising, but I have not seen any difference. So far all i think i have lost was water weight. I was ok taking the pills 2/2 but once i hit 3/2 it made me feel nauseated and dizzy. Do you think i should go back down to 2/2 or just tough it out?
I feel the energy boost, im not jittery or anything, but i can't get off the couch without my head spinning thinking im going to throw up. What should i do? I really want to lose my weight. "

" ... well...its been a week for me and I haven't lost any wt but I do feel skinnier?! I did start my period so I'm thinking it's the "period wt". I really like my energy but I do know about that feeling of the sleepiness. I work out 6 dy/wk and have a pretty healthy diet. I hope I start losing some wt tho...but no side effects at all for me. There was one day where I felt nauseous but I was really hungry when I took the pills. "

today would would be day five for me but after yesterdays effects i'm afariad to take them. yesterday i started taking 2/2 so i took my first 2 and after a couple of hours i puked and i was crazy tired for the rest of the day then i took my last 2 in the afternoon and it made feel hella strange; it was hard to breath, my body had to move or it would start to hurt and i couldnt consintrate.then later that i puked again and i couldnt fall asleep till 2 am. i dont want to give up but i cant take these side effects. any advice?

06-06-2008 17:52:30 [ Fallisha ]
" ... Thanks Arya and Theresa, I really appreciate your suggestions.
Arya~ I did start back on the 2/2 like you suggested and I feel a bit better. I just found out here recently that my Iron dropped, so I was thinking that had a big affect on my dizziness, too. I didn't realize I was anemic till I checked with my doctor.
Theresa~ I have cut back on my tea. I don't drink it as much as I used to, but I don't think I can handle this Nashville water. LOL It is horrible.
Can anyone give me exercise tips. Like what works best for you? Thanks ladies. Good luck with all of you and take care. =) Keep up the good work. "

" ... Hi Girls
Well I had a partial hysterectomy 5 yrs ago at 30.
My weight has been a problem for 5 years now, I now weight 12 stone 8lbs.
My training weight is 8st 3lbs, I am 5ft 1inch tall.
I will take 1 tablet per day to see how it goes, I suffer from chronic constipation due to a hernia operation 5 yrs ago so the BM would be great.
The hearburn issue can be resolved by drinking a glass of milk, vitamin supplements can help too as the products caffeine level is very high theis will stop your absorbtion of vitamins and minerals. I work out with 5kg dumbells, and I am trying to clycle more than 5 mins.
I am asthmatic too so hopefully my asthma will improve after my weight loss.
I will try one tablet a day, rest a day between session this helps the muscle recover.
I used to do alot of weight training at 23 but had endometriosis that had a great impact on my health and life.
At 35 I am re-proggramming my body to be fighting fit again "

Caffeine intoxication
An acute overdose of caffeine, usually in excess of about 300 milligrams, dependent on body weight and level of caffeine tolerance, can result in a state of central nervous system over-stimulation called caffeine intoxication.
The symptoms of caffeine intoxication are not unlike overdoses of other stimulants. It may include restlessness, nervousness, excitement, insomnia, flushing of the face, increased urination, gastrointestinal disturbance,
death may occur. "

I will be taking 1 in the early morning around 7 then working out having a bit of a meal and then again around lunch time and start of with 2 in total at the end of the day. I hope that works !

" ... I started taking this product 1 week ago. I started at 169, and i'm 5 foot 8. I am hoping to loose 20-25 lbs, and i have tried alot of products. I have taken zantrex 3, hydroxycut, farenheight, and nano slim. The only one that worked was zantrex 3, i lost 2o lbs fast, but then my body adjusted to it and it stopped working. so far, i feel great with HM. i do have some nast BM, but after a week it has started to stop. In the beginning i felt a little nausea, but it is gone now. No jitters and no problem sleeping, i usually take the second dose at 7pm. I don't drink a lot of water at all, but i am going to try to because i don't want a bad reaction. I am currently on the pill, and my doctor told me than certain diet pills, like HM can make the pill less effective because it makes your liver work harder. I can explain more if anyone has questions. Maybe use a back-up while on the pills. "

I took lipo 6 about the same timme last year and dropped 20 pounds for my cutting phase. hydroxicut max makes me feel nauseous and gives me headaches. My diet is EXCELLENT! So i know that is not the problem. I stopped taking this product yesterday, and my headaches and the nausea is gone, so i know this was from the product. I dont reccomend this product to anyone who is looking to lose weight or a first time user. "
06-10-2008 15:56:13 [ Nikki ]

" ... i started using this on monday and i've already noticed a difference! I haven't lost any weight yet but I've already gone down and inch and my pants fit SO much better. however, if you're like me and your heart rate goes way up just from one cup of coffee, be careful how much hydroxycut you take! I'm up to 2 2xs a day and i got sick. i'm going to cut down and do 2 in the morning and one in the afternoon. My doctor told me that if your heart rate goes up to between 140-150 beats a minute, you can start getting sick, passing out, nausea, light headedness and that can lead to other problems. I read other comments and it seems common. I would say to cut back immediately if you are and take only what your heart can handle. "

" ... I've been taking this for a few months now and just had my second flushing side effect (it DOES state this is a possibility on the box) and now I know what it is I'm not so freaked. First time it happened, my face started burning, then my hands - it looked like I was wearing a red mask and red gloves and it spread down my neck & chest and up my arms and totally freaked me out! It subsided after about an hour but my skin felt like I'd been wind-burned for the rest of the day. It's a temporary side effect and it doesn't happen every time. I think it's the a 'niacin rush' from my research. "

I'm pretty sure the guy at the nutrition store told me you can...but not a lot and not often. But i feel like i shouldn't at all. Has anyone drank on these pills and had any problems? Thanks. "

Just wanted to see if anyone had better luck with one verses the other. I lost 10lbs. and am stuck. so I'm going to try low-carb. "

I'm a first time dieter and new to this whole diet pill thing...I was sick with the flu so I was out of commission for one month and ended up gaining like 10 lbs and decided that I will give hydroxycut a try after reading all the reviews. I just wanted to know if you guys could tell me when you started having BM because I don't want to run the risk of relieving myself at work too often. Does it start the first week? second week? How bad are the BMs? Are there any other side effects besides the BM and acne that I should know about? Any advice other than drink lots of water? THANKS!! "

" ... I hve been on HM since May 6th, lost only 3 lbs so far, but I don't really work out. I only have 7lbs to loose, so I am trying to work out more often. I drink and have only had a reaction with beer; it makes me tingle and flush, but other alcohol not so much. Also I have a noticed a sensitivity to the sun, so I recommend lots of sunblock! "

Have lost 3lbs so far, but am also eating well and working out. I have not had the BM problem, wish I did, then I would know it's doing something. I am peeing a LOT though, has anyone else had this happen???? "
06-19-2008 09:27:50 [ Shannon ]
" ... I took plain HC without caffeine and loved it because I cold drink as many diet Cokes as I wanted. For fun I bought the HM and see the same results, about 2.5 pounds a week. I kind of miss my morning Sobe or diet Coke. Don't mix both because I did once and that was a bad, bad mistake. I stayed up for 2 nights. If you love to drink caffeine drinks I would do the Hydroxycut without caffeine. "

" ... I've been taking HM for a week, I started out with the recomended dosage of 1 pill the first 1-3 days then I upped the dosage. I soon realized that one pill in the morning, before a meal in the afternoon was all I could handle. Taking more than one made me feel sick. However, my energy level since taking the pill has increased dramatically! I work out about 3 times a week, and eat right. Never been one to get on the scale, but I am paying close attention to the reflection in the mirror.Keep you posted. "

" ... Ive been taking HM for about a month now. When I first started I lost 7 lbs in 2 weeks. I then got complacent & pigged out on the weekends thinking "I'll just take HM during the week to make up for pigging out." A long story short, I gained the weight back. The pills don't seem to have the same effects they initially had when I first started 3 pills 2X a day. When I first started, HM always suppressed my appetite but did not give much energy. Now I just fell nausea for about an hour after I take HM, & my appetite is no longer suppressed by HM. Now I feel like I have to start over on my long road to weight loss! "

" ... I started taking it without exercise so I did not see any results however last week I begun exercising for a week and I lost 8 pounds already...that's amazing. ladies, it's imperative that you do not drink anything with caffeine in it and if you are feeling light headed you are not drinking enough water. Both are requirements for this supplement!! "
06-24-2008 08:27:21 [ Melissa ]
" ... This is my update from 5-28 post. I was feeling sick and took a few days off. Then began again.. seems 2 pills are my max. If I take 3, I feel sick. I'm a small girl and 3 is most likely too much for me. I feel great with 2 and it does what it promises. I was reading other reviews and the talk about bowel movements..i have never been "regular" or a once a day person. Since taking this supplement I go once a day. I don't know what it is but I am happy about it. I feel healthy and my stomach stays flat and no more bloating. "
06-24-2008 08:55:13 [ Melissa Chicago ]
" ... Someone asked what kind of exercise? Any kind of exercise..walk, run, dance, clean the house. I try to do cardio every morning first thing.. if I run..it's 3 miles or 35 mins. If I am not in the mood to run I walk at an incline, fast.. for 45 mins. to an hour. I also life weights, full body three evenings a week. At least two exercises and three sets per muscle group.. Biceps, triceps, chest, back, shoulders, hamstrings, quads, calves and butt. Takes about 45 mins. So cardio at least 3 days a week and weights at least 3 days a week. Break it up to cardio AM and weights PM on the same three days or workout six days a week and alternate between cardio and weight days. Hope that helps. "

" ... I just purchased Hydroxycut Max today and felt a difference in my workout only after talking one pill! I sustained more energy throughout my entire exercise routine. I was previously taking Hydroxycut Hardcore but stopped because I was developing acne problems. I hope this does not occur with Max. I'll keep you posted. "
06-24-2008 21:04:25 [ Judy ]
" ... In response to Teresa's comment above, I just started taking HM and noticed that I am urinating alot more than usual as well. I literally have to pee every 30 mins or so because I follow the instructions on the bottle, which is to take the pills before meals and also drink 10 cups of water daily. I think we're urinating more than usual because it helps flush out the fat that is being burned up by your body and HM. I'm not sure about you but I noticed that my urine is a neon yellowish green but I'm not too worried as long as HM is working and its a sign that the fat is leaving your system.

" ... Hi All. I have been taking Max for 6 weeks now, and have GAINED 8 pounds. I work out 5 X a week with a personal trainer. I am not eating more. I am sooooooo depressed and feel huge. Anybody else have this problem? "
06-26-2008 19:08:57 [ Jaded ]
" ... To Judy...umm, ok well caffeine is a diuretic. which basically means that it blocks receptors in your kidneys that tell you to reabsorb water, which then means that you will pee, ALOT. the reason, i am assuming, that they tell you to drink so much water is so that you don't become dehydrated from the effects of the caffeine. AND I'm pretty sure that "fat" can't leave your system by way of urination. As for the color of your urine...probably some vitamins in the formula doing that... "

" ... I exercise 6 days a week i eat very healthy and drink plenty of water but do to summer i wanted extra help for extreme results. I bought HMax today i took it as the bottle said.As soon as i took the pill which was one, I started burping alot. 30 minutes later i was jittery then my body contracted i had no control over my body. I was about to faint when my sister went to my rescue. I was out of it the paramedics helped stabilize me. I was numb all over trembiling bitting my lips, grabbing my face, my fingers, i was very cold. i took a shower after paramedics said i was stable as i closed my eyes in the shower i was stuck to the wall for a minute. I vomited. Then i was told to eat something. Its been 4 hours since the paramedics left my eyes hurt and my left hand still feels a little numb. Obviuosly my experience was not positive. I just want other women to be carefull with this product. if you decide to take it have someone at your side. I do not wish for anyone to go trough what i did. "
06-27-2008 23:08:23 [ Bossy ]
" ... I will say that the pill gives me energy during my workout. I started taking about a month ago and had to stop because felt really nauseated and i wasn't able to sleep at night. A little jittery but subsides after and hour or two. I have started again 4 days ago and I still can't sleep and the nausea is still there, but i'm going to tough it out and see if I can get used to it. Small snacks between meals have helped with the nausea. "

" ... Just started HM yesterday, I feel so energized! I am going to the bathroom (peeing) a lot, but I am drinking 10 glasses of water a day too! I am 153.5 pounds, so I will keep you posted! "
06-30-2008 13:06:36 [ Amanda ]
" ... Hello My name is Amanda. I didn't lose alot of weight maybe 5-7 pounds average. Right now Im bleeding from this pill that has caused me heartache. I worked outside about a week back, tried the 1 pill three times a day that I had worked up to. I was taking this pill for about a month and a half. Im 23 and 180 pounds. Than I stared to get sick after I took the last one of the day. I went to go excercise starting having heart palpitations I stopped excercising and went upstairs to cool off, and as much as I worked out inside on the treadmill. I came upstairs thats when I could hear my heart pump real hard, than I started to get upset stomach, than my stomach begin to burn, I ran to the toilet and I had to puke up all my food that I had ate that day. I had plenty of water that day. At the moment I really can't recommend this fake diet pill to anyone, although I will say If you at all get sour stomach or burning sensations in your stomach. I recommend you quit taking it. The last thing you want is to be put in the hospital. This pill might work for others but not for me. I also am having a kidney problem at this point. So please be careful of this pill. This pill made me feel like I was going to die. "
06-30-2008 13:36:49 [ Tara ]
" ... I started taking Hydroxycut Max to get over a plateau. Work outs have also been increased in intensity and frequency. The first couple of pounds have come off due to flushing of the system of excess fluids, this products helps to fight water retention (another reason for the high water consumption.) Jaded is right, you don't urinate out fat, that color is caused by excess minerals and vitamins being flushed from your body. If you take vitamins that is completely normal! Judy, great advice about eating something small to help fight nausea. It is also a fantastic plan for weight loss, six small meals a day under 200-300 calories each of lean foods will help up your bolism even more and help your body break food down to really digest it and not go into "storage" mode. Keep up the great work ladies! Here's to breaking plateaus! "
07-01-2008 12:12:12 [ Judy ]
" ... I've been taking HM for one week now. The first 2 days I experienced a great surge in energy that allowed me to work out for longer at the gym. However, after the first 2 days, I came down with headaches (it wasn't from dehydration because I made sure I drink more than 3 Nalgenes daily) as well as mild constipation since my kidneys did not absorb the water I consumed and ended up running to the toilet every 30 mins. I would also like to note that I drink green tea daily, about 3 cups, and it is a natural source of caffeine and I understand that caffeine is a diuretic, as Jaded reminded me above, but I've never had to urinate this much! If you are sensitive to caffeine, stick to the recommendations on the box to access individual tolerance. For the ladies who are currently or looking to increase muscle mass to further cut fat, I do not recommend taking whey protein after a workout because I wasted $60 on whey protein only to have it flushed out of my system 15 mins later since your kidneys do not absorb it in a mixture with water. I also noticed that I lost some muscle definition in my arms after taking HM; I dont know why HM is eating away at muscle but it's undoing everything I've been working toward and it's pretty upsetting. Guess HM doesn't work for everyone. Best of luck to everyone. "

" ... I've taken it for 4 days so far and lost 1 pound. I work out 4-5 days a week. I've use Hydroxycut in the past and it worked great. About bowel movements, I've been going 2 a day since I've been taking it, I love it. I love the energy it gives me, it's not over powering energy either. "

" ... I'm going on 2 weeks and have lost 2.5 lbs no inches off waist yet. HM has helped me with my cardio workouts, can workout a little bit longer. Discovered you really shouldn't have drinks w/caffeine. Had ice tea w/lunch and got a headache, however went away as soon as I started drinking water again. No problems sleeping as a matter of fact I've been sleeping better. You have to follow directions on label, do not take 5 hrs before bedtime or you wont be able to get to sleep. "
07-03-2008 21:47:30 [ Mindy ]
" ... I have been taking HM for almost 2 weeks. I was taking 1 pill twice a day for the first week and began taking 1 pill three times a day the second week. I did this because I know my body responds quickly to diet pills. I had a very difficult time sleeping the second week! In fact one night I did not sleep at all!It was then that I decided to discontinue using HM. I made sure that I did not drink beverages that contained caffine while I was taking HM. I also experienced a burning sensation on my face during my workouts. It felt like I was having a horrible allergic reaction to something. Hope HM continues to work for those that are finding success in the weight loss journey! "
07-05-2008 10:13:27 [ Cherise ]
" ... My bottle came in the mail today, I'm very excited! I'm going to start tomorrow. Wish me luck! My dad suggested 'fasting' for a week by eating nothing but fruit and drinking water to start off. I also plan on excercising at least 3 times a week as well as running whever I find the time. Hopefully this works as well for me as it has for alot of you! "

What's the best time to take it? Can i take it with birth control? Im taking yaz. So far it has made me kinda sick of my stomach and it makes my heart beat really fast and i feel all shaky. Should i stop taking them or is that how you feel the first few times you take it? "

07-09-2008 10:44:45 [ Liz ]
" ... I've been taking this for about a week now. I haven't had a jittery feeling or a racing heart yet. I'm 5'11" and weighed about 160 when I started. Now I weigh 155. I decided to take it because I'm a dancer and I have a very very important audition coming up this weekend. I work out on a daily basis for an hour to two hours but I have never been able to get rid of my pooch (belly fat). Theres not a lot of it, but enough to where I would get cut from the dance team if I have it. They accept no one who doesn't have a rock hard body.
Heres the thing though. Since I've been taking it, I've been getting break outs. Like, heat break outs, those little tiny pimples all over my chest and spreading! I've never been prone to break outs in the past and I didn't know if the two are related to each other. Has anyone else had this same side effect or is it just me? "

" ... I'm on my 4th day - just started a 2/1 ratio with the pills. After reading through other posts - I have noticed that this product works best for people trying to lose 20 or more pounds. I am 40 yrs old, 5'1 1/2", 108 lbs. I bought this product to gain more definition, lose bodyfat. I work out 5 days a week. I do intense cardio 2 days and heavy weight training 3 days per week (about 75 minutes each day). My bodyfat is 20%. I have found that on the first day - I was jittery from taking one pill. I have since become adjusted to this product and the jitters have subsided. My main problem is I'm still having a hard time sleeping at night. I was up until 2am last night. My mind races with ideas/thoughts and I feel a little paranoid. I took my second pill yesterday at 1pm. I'm usually a coffee drinker (1 cup in the morning). I've cut that out since there is so much caffeine in these pills. I drink a ton of water (I've been doing that for years). Not sure how to sleep better at this point, but I'm hoping my body will adjust. I think that because of my size - 3 pills would be too extreme. I'm going to stick with a 2/1 ratio for now to see what happens. If I start to adjust, then I'll go to a 2/2 ratio, but I will definitely not do the 3/3. I will update next week on my results and how my body feels. I honestly think that the product should take into consideration how much you weigh. I strongly believe that this product can have a stronger impact on someone who does not weight that much. Almost like with any drug. "

I am active and work out very consistently (except for occasional lazy or busy weeks) but I wanted to kick it up for the summer. I love how Max increases my work out stamina and gives me energy for the day. However, when I find it very hard to sit still after taking it, I find it very hard to stay still "

I love the energy it gives me when I workout. I'm 5'8" 154, hoping to lose between 15-20 lbs. Does anyone know when the weight loss will kick in? I've been working out 3-4 days a week, want to get to 5 days actually and I've modified my diet. This is the first time I've had to lose weight really, so I'm hoping this helps me get to back to 130-135.

I currently work out on a 4-5 day basis. I have started eating clean and being more concerned about the calorie intake. I see a nutritionist this week. I am not sure whether I should be eating 1200 or 1500 calories a day. Thats after working out. So far, with HM I havent had any real issues. Just being attentive to my water intake, and how far ahead of food and workout I take it. I want it to help melt away the fat on top of my muscles LOL I didnt bounce back too well after childbirth!

I was all jacked up at first with the max dose but I started doing an afternoon classes at the y and it helps me get some of the enegry out. I actually have a hard time sitting still when I take it.

I have had no problems sleeping. I take my first dose early am and then again in the early afternoon (following the bottle instructions). I have had no heart burn...some headaches but i think that was cutting out other products such as sugar/pop. The water thing is so important! I have been keeping a bottle beside me all day long and sip it...makes it easier to get all the water in! I am hoping this will help me...even getting me in the right mind frame has blown me away! I am taking things slow about changing my food/exercise behs...that way i will not feel like i am totally loosing out! I am starting the 30 day shred by Jillian Michaels (workout) video on monday!

I drank alcohol once in these past 2 weeks and it seemed to make me really hot and dizzy. You have to make sure to drink lots of water with them, and always take them 30-60 minutes BEFORE your meals. I love these pills though, they give me TONS of energy!!!!!! "
08-02-2008 15:04:22 [ JM ]
" ... I took HM for a few weeks... was up to the 3 pills, but quickly cut back down to 2.
I am a HUGE coffee drinker and cut that out... but it still didn't help.
I drink tons of water (3+ Litres a day) so I know that wasn't the problem.
But I thought I would input so that people know that HM DOES have negative effects for some people.
I have taken supplements in the past (including thermolean) without any negative effects. HM caused me to have constant headaches, and while I had energy I felt shaky and weak a lot of the time. I thought it might subside, but then I started to get chest pains. My chest constantly felt heavy as if someone were standing on me at all times. I've been having difficulty breathing and just feel horrible.
So while many people have had great results, it is VERY possible to have a bad reaction even with following the directions to a T!
Be aware of how your body is reacting, and don't listen to people who say that the pill cannot be the cause of these effects...
While it might not be the only cause (if you're taking other supps) every body reacts differently and it CLEARLY states on the box that you should stop taking HM if that happens to you!!

" ... I was taking Max for about 6 weeks lost about 10lbs now I don't want to take them anymore, to expensive and I have other things I need to buy with the money, plus I found a better way to eat and lose weight naturally. I cut my dose down to 2 pills 2x a day about I 2 weeks ago, then to 1 pill 2x a day. Then I finally go down to 1 pill once a day. I've been off for over 3 days the headaches are horrible they come and go, and my body feels like the energy switch has been turned off. I am unable to find any info about getting off of these pills on the net, just be prepare to feel terrible for at least a week once you are off. I can't imagine stopping cold turkey!!! "
08-04-2008 15:08:03 [ Jennifer ]
" ... Well I have taken the pill just 1 twice a day for about 4 days now, and I feel great in the day time but when I wake up in the middle of the night I have trouble breathing and my heart beats super fast. I am used to caffine so it is not the caffine that is doing this. Also i wake up in the morning with really bad headaches and I see others have had these symptoms too. I was REALLY hoping I wouldnt find side effects but I have.... Ugh I guess i will need to stop these. Anyone know of a different pill that I could try? "
08-05-2008 10:51:12 [ Jennifer ]
" ... I took Max for 4 days, only one pill each day in the morning. On the days I lifted weights at the gym it triggered the most awful migraine of my life. Almost went to the hospital. Felt nauseous as well. I've stopped taking them even though it did help with my cravings. "
08-05-2008 11:54:33 [ Jenn ]
" ... I have been taking these pills for 1 week and still no results. I powerwald 1 1/2 miles 5 days a week and drink diet shakes for breakfast and lunch with a sensible dinner. I havent seen any results. I think the ALLI works a lot better, I'm going to give HM another week to see some kind of results. If none I'm going back on ALLI "

" ... Hi... I am on 8.5 days of Hydroxycut Max and I now have to stop. I have felt pretty horrible since day 1. I am not normally an irritable or moody person but I just can't seem to control these moods. I have horrible heartburn and nausea plus I have had a severe headache for probably 2 days now. I actually had to leave work to lay in a dark room. I had more energy without the pills to be honest. I followed the directions on the bottle for the pills. Maybe they are just not for me. It seems others are having better luck with these things. Good luck to all! "

" ... Hi, does anyone know what is the equivalent of 300mg of caffeine? I want to start taking this product, but am a little nervous about how much caffeine this has. I never drink coffee, don't really like it and I always drink diet pop.... so I really think 300mg would be a lot. Is there 300mg in each pill?? "
08-11-2008 09:24:32 [ Florencia ]
" ... Hi, I jus bought the pills. Since you have experience on this product, is there something you wish you had known before start taking it? How about dieting and exercise? The pill works because it makes you burn more fat doing the same work out and eating the same amount of food or it works because it gives ypu more energy to work out more and less apetite to eat less? Thanx for taking to tiome to answer! "
08-11-2008 10:17:09 [ Jennifer ]
" ... The pill says that the 300 mg serving is equivilant to 3 cups of coffee. By the way Lipo 6 Hers is much better! I switched and still no negative side effects. I just increased the serving also. Love it so far. "

" ... When I first took Hydroxycut Max I loved the energy it gave me and i really thought it was working. After that I began to feel very sick with stomach pains, headaches, and feeling very jittery. I realized the only effective ingredient in hydroxycut is all of the caffiene. I personaly think this was one of the worst pills I have ever taken. I waisted all of my money on a bunch of caffiene pills. Lol without side effects...yeah right! So if you are wondering if you should purchase this product, my advice to you is to save your money. "
08-17-2008 23:54:40 [ Chelsea ]
" ... I just started these pills roughly 4 days ago, I have had no side effects at all, and am on a very healthy diet, I had already lost about 5 pounds on the diet I started and have lost another 10 pounds since working out and taking these pills for the past few days, I love them! they give you tons of energy which helps you burn more calories, and they are having great results, over all with the pills i have prob lost about 5 pounds since i started taking them. Some of that could be water weight, but so far I am very happy. I do want to lose quite a bit. One thing I will say is make sure you drink a TON of water, you will be craving it all day. I have not had a single side effect because of that. Never felt so healthy!! Try not to take it right before bed, if you take it about 5 hours before you sleep, you will have the best nights sleep of your life. works great for me!! "
08-18-2008 11:37:18 [ Janie ]
" ... Well, I just started using HM Saturday taking 1/2 day and I feel great. More energy and less food cravings. I do get hungry but stop when I feel full, no overeating or desserts and sodas, etc. Most of all I love the energy boost. I have 3 kids and I need all the energy I can get. I go walking at the park at least 3 times a week and try to eat sensible. Hopefully, this will give me the fat burning power I need. I don't feel bloated anymore. I do have more BM but that's okay for me because I wasn't regular. I don't feel jittery or my heart racing. I guess everyone's body is different and reacts differently to all products. As for me, I love HM and will continue using it.....I will update everyone later as to how much I lose. "

" ... Hello everyone. I bought HM on Monday (8/18/08) because I saw an ad for it in a fitness magazine. I was a little skeptical at first because I'm a nutrition major and we always learn that diet pills are not the answer and I used to be a D1 athlete. However, I gained about 20 pounds after quitting the team and I thought that it wasn't such a bad idea and it was worth a try. I've been on it for 5 days and have already lost 4 1/2 pounds. I don't have any side effects like upset stomach or headaches. For the first few days I was off the wall with energy. I didn't feel like exercising but I couldn't sit still. Then I moved back to school and I was so bored that I'd go for walks for an hour at a time. I started to eat healthy again and now I have an exercise routine going for me so hopefully this will continue to work. My goal is to get back down to 115. I was starting at 140 and now I'm at 135.5. (after just 4 days!) I drink a ton of water and gatorade [watered down though]). And yesterday once I started to 2 pills twice a day, I started to have an increase in BM. I love this product! "

" ... Hi everyone! I am 5"9 and started my weight out at 160lbs 8 days ago. After just one week on Hydroxycut Max I weigh 155! I have had no side effects. I am drinking lots of water and feel like I have more energy and endurance during my 2mile runs! I feel like I can keep going but never feel jittery or nervous like some pills make you feel. Overall I am really glad that I started taking this product and would recommend it to anyone who wants to lose weight! I am wanting to lose just 10 more pounds! Some people complained about headaches and going to the bathroom alot. I haven't had any of those problems. I am now taking 3 pills in the morning and 1 at noon and it's working great! "

I was afraid I was going to feel jittery when I took them bc i have taken other ones b4. but I feel ok , it is not making me jittery. I feel like I can do more at the gym.. n it is only the second day. Hopefully this keeps working and aids me with my Kelly Rippa Body bc I want my body to look like hers. "

" ... hi, Iam 195 lbs 5'3" and despriatly trying to lose weight. i don't want to be super skinny like i was in high school but maybe a size 9 or so. iam size 14 right now. iam want to be 145 lbs or somewhere close to that. i have tried many times but failed to keep with exercise. there is no way u can lose fat with hydroxycut max without exercise. iam on day 4 on this pill. iam taking 2 pills 2x a day. i don't have severe side effects. just some strange feeling in the stomach at night.not pain though. i use to eat alot maybe my stomach is feeling the sudden change. the key is to drink water. i drink 4 litres a day spread out. i noticed a dramatic change in my appetite i use to eat mc donalds everyday. sometimes eat lunch and dinner out. and dessert too. once i started taking hydroxycut max i stopped eating big portions even if they were on my plate i ate a healthy potion( i don't want to die) the rest but in the fridge. i use to have seconds before after large portions. been peeing alot. scale shows drop in 3 lbs.(maybe water but i checked few time a day. because water loss usually only drops in the morning. my pants fit better. i started exercise 2 weeks ago 5-6 time week. with no pill.( lost nothing gained some muscle)i noticed now have more energy. the eliptical workout i do is more intense(don't feel tired) i never use to finish the full workout. i tried turbojam once or twice couldn't do it. i could keep up. but this morning i put the dvd in and started dancing and did the whole 45 mins. i sweat more during workouts i feel the burn. i hope to lose more. i think this product reacts to people depending on age. iam 22. when i was 19 i tried the org hyroxycut. but the first day i felt restless and had pain near my heart. so i stopped taking it. this formula is much better. i hope everyone has success with it. i will update in 1 week. Remember Exercise.When i feel uneasy with the pills i release the energy while working out. it helps alot. no way fat will melt off just by eating the pill. it does help boost energy leading u to succeed with weight loss.

" ... I have been taking hydroxycut max for almost 3 months. It gives me alot of energy but, beware...severe acne. About 2 months ago i started to break out really bad. I am not an acne prone person so I was very concerned. Went to see a dermatologist and I spend hundreds of dollars on medication 'nothing work'. I stop taking hydroxycut max and my face is already starting to clear up. "

" ... Well I started taking this on 9/29 (see above) it is now 10/6. So far I have gained 5 lbs up to 155 from 150. and that is with exercise and drinking tons of water and eating properly. I have also stopped my glass or two of red wine and can't believe I have actually gained. I also, was very tired while taking it and have now stopped taking it. I may just be one of the few people that it has a reverse effect on. but, I am glad that GNC has a return policy. The GNC associate told me that she had two other women return it for the same reason. I guess it just works different on different people. I wish everyone out there success with this product and all your weight loss goals. Really thought it would work for me, had very high hopes. If anyone else has experienced this please write and let me know if you tried something else and what is working for you. "

" ... i just got hydroxycut over the weekend and i have been on it for 3 days now. im a busy mom on the go seeing as i work two jobs and im going to school to be a nurse. I dont have a lot of time to work out and my weight is every up and down. im just under 5'2 and i weight 135. im not fat by any means i just wanna get down to 120 to 125 which is perfect for me seeing as im curving ( i have a booty on me that i dont wanna loose lol )
i use to take slimquick and even though it made me loose weight quick it made me really sick and i was miserable for the week after i stopped talking it. so far so good on the way i feel with hydroxycut. i still have an appetite but i dont want to eat as much. im happy with a couple bites of something little and i feel physically better. yesterday i was dumb though. i was on my way to work and stopped to get a coffee well i figured id get to work and get something to eat but forgot a had new hires in so i couldnt get something to eat. i had to go right to work and by the time i freed up our cafeteria was closed. i felt horrible i was sick and felt like i was gonna pass out. i started downing water and that helped a lot. my husband brought me some food and within minutes of eating i felt better. so please if you take this pill just make sure to eat drink water and NO caffine!
since im on the go a lot though i was thinking about getting meal bars for something from the store. does anyone have any suggestions on drinking or snacks that helped them?
ill keep you guys up to date on if they work with loosing my weight! "

I begin my journey weighing 167 lbs but before stating on HM fat burners, I cleansed my entire system for 7 days with a GNC cleansing kit. Needless to say I got used to having a BM everyday. In the cleaning process I lost those 7 lbs and today I begin my HM fat burners. I have spent a lot of money on nutritionists and personal trainers, so dieting and exercising and very familiar. Hopefully with that education and my HM pills I can reach the same results with out spending a lot of money. Since I recently bought my house, my exercising consists of gardening and house fixing but at the office I follow some helpful online office exercises to compliment my home exercises as well. (This might help those that sit around an office 9AM - 5PM as I do.) I'll be sure to keep you all posted on my success or any side effects but most of all, good luck to everyone and may all of you loose 5 lbs this week. "

" ... I just started last friday. No side effects when I take the pills I don't drink anything with sugar in it. Meaning tea, coffee, soda or energy drinks like red bull. if i do it's usually three to four hours afterward and it's tea with honey. People you have to drink lots of water with this one or two cups of water isn't going to help. Besides your body needs 8 glasses of water each day anyway. But yeah so far I'm pretty happy with the results. "
11-26-2008 13:05:14 [ Tonya ]
" ... People who aren't sleeping are most likely not exercising. It is meant to be used in conjunction, hence why you feel so much energy. That energy needs to be burned. If you don't want to feel sick, make sure you are drinking a glass of water and you NEED to eat within that hour, preferably a half hour. Focus on eating proteins (chicken, tuna, white meat) etc. and mix it with some white rice, whole grains, vegtables or fruits. Becareful with just having a fruit though on an empty stomach and the pill, because the acids in the fruit may be a bad mix. For the person who asked if it made you sick while working out, I don't think so, I think it just amps your endurance. I could never do straight cardio, I'd always have to mix it with dance or strength training. With the hydroxy cut I have the endurance to do straight cardio and to pump up the level no problem. Again just dont' work out on an empty stomach-eat about 2 hours before. "

" ... i started hydroxycut about a month ago and i do not see any resluts. i go to the gym and workout at least 4-5 times a week. does anybody know how long do you start seeing results. The only symtoms i get once a while is nausea and headaches. "

" ... I have been taking Hydroxycut max for a week now, on my 2nd day of 3 and 3 pills. Im getting awful headaches though, and Im afraid to take any kind of pain reliever, not sure if I should be mixing. I am also incredibly queezy, blurry vision and have terrible stomach aches. I have lost 5lbs in the week, started at 158, now 153. But Im not sure the pills have anything to do with it, except that Im never hungry. Im on the fence about this product, Im happy to be loosing weight, but hate these side effects. are these normal? And if not what should I do? "

" ... I'm 18 yrs old and have been taking this product for 2 days... and I have an amazing amount of energy ( which is very helpful for working out)... but has anyone gained weight from using this product??? before I started this H.M. I was 172, now 2 days later i weigh 173... I hope this does not keep happening!!! This seems like a wonderful product from all of your reviews, and I hope that I have a more positive story soon!! =) "

" ... I have been taking this product for the past 3 weeks and have lost a total of 13 lbs with only moderate excercise and a sensible diet. I drink plenty of water and eat 4 small portions a day. I am in love with this product I recommend for women that want to lose more then 10 pounds. If taking properly and with a excercise program you will notice results with in days. "

" ... I started taking HM yesterday, and boy did it give me tons of energy. I only took 1 pill in the morning before I ate (which is also before my workout). Yesterday was the day I was supposed to do both cardio and strength training. Usually I get very tired after cardio, so I barely have enough energy for strength training. Well, I did 1 hr and 20 mins of cardio and strength training, and I still had energy left to burn! It's great for energy, but at night I tossed and turned and I woke up earlier than usual. This was just using 1 pill twice a day! I think I might stick to that because I'm starting to feel sort of queezy. I drank 6 bottles of .5 liters, which in total is 3 liters, so I don't think it has anything to do with water. By the way, I'm 20 years old and when i started taking HM I was at 141 lb. Today (1 day later) I am at 139.8 lb. I hope I don't lose weight then gain it all back. Anyone had this happen to them? I'll keep you posted on my results. "
12-28-2008 10:35:19 [ lynn ]
" ... I just took my first pill. I worked out and I felt a little sickly at first, but then I felt much better. I like it so far. I have about 70 lbs to lose (I'm guessing because I stopped weighing myself a long time ago . I'm 42. 2009 is going to be different. I appreciate any support. "
12-28-2008 18:21:16 [ janice ]
" ... I took two bottles of this stuff trying to see if it would do anything because my body is so resistant. I also workout everyday and eat very healthy. Besides some increased energy, there were absolutely no changes in my body muscle or weight. "
12-29-2008 09:26:18 [ Lynn ]
" ... 2nd day of taking the pills. Still no side effects. I did have a little trouble falling asleep last night, but it was also the first day of my period and I always have a little trouble sleeping. I have not experienced any BM, I have a hard time going anyway and any movement would be an improvement. I noticed with my workout this morning, I was able to do a lot more time at higher pace and incline on the treadmill, so I am loving that. I broke down and weighed myself. I am at 239 at 5'4. So I have a lot to do. I'll keep you posted. "

" ... hey everyone!
I was just wondering if anyone knows if you can cut open the capsule. I find it really hard to swallow. Im an not sure if i am not sure if it is going to work properly if I do open it.
Anyone have any ideas to swallow the capsule easier? lol
i have tried drink alot of water with it, but whenever I almost swallow it i get a gag reflex "
12-30-2008 10:06:09 [ Lynn ]
" ... o.k. 3rd day. I increased my dosage this morning before my workout to 2 pills. It's a day early, but I thought, since I'm on vacation, if I got sick I could lay down. My workout was great and I've lost 3 1/2 pounds. "

" ... IM GOING TO GNC TODAY TO PICK UP A BOTTLE. IM NOT OVER WIEGHT 5'5 ABOU 145. JUST TRYING TO GET RID OF SOME OF THIS BABY FAT. IM A FAIRLY ACTIV PERSON BUT I CANT GET RID OF THIS EXTRA WIEGHT AROUND MY MIDSECTION AND THIGHS. HOPEFULLY THIS WILL WORK. I ONLY WANT TO LOSE ABOUT 15 POUNDS OR SO. DOES ANYONE KNOW IF ITS OK TO TAKE A SLEEPING PILL AT NIGHT FOR THE INSOMINA? "
01-01-2009 11:19:54 [ Lynn ]
" ... Luba, I wouldn't cut it. I think that the way it is formulated in the capsule releases it gradually in your system. Also the taste might make you gag more. I think the option is just lots of water and push it way back on your tongue. "

" ... i was on hydroxycut max during the summer for abou 2 to 3 months and it worked great my workouts were awesome and i had a lot of every. If any is wondering about taking it with birth control dont worry because its fine. i checked with my local pharmacy and my doctor and it wont hurt your birth method if you're on the pill. Although at times i have had headaches but nothing ourageous, when i was on it i lost about 6 pounds.. I wouldn't recommend it to women who have never worked out before. It is definitely for women who are active and who are used to working out. I work out a lot but i have a hard time losing the weight. Its really for women who want to tone their body and lose the excess fat. I highly recommend it. Now im going back on it and sticking to what they say to do. If you dont eat healthy and have a good workout routine you will either not feel good, or you wont see results. "
01-02-2009 09:06:31 [ Leslie ]
" ... Hi ladies, I am actually going to start Hydroxycut Max next week. Reason being when I went to buy it I was told that I should do a cleanser first. I haven't seen anyone mention a cleanser and that could be the reason for slow results. My advisor told me that the cleanser cleans out the excess toxins and one could easily lose 10 pounds with cleansing alone. Once your body is cleansed it's easier for your body to lose the fat. "
01-03-2009 18:01:48 [ Laura ]
" ... I have been taking this 4 2 weeks and lost 10 pounds. I love it all I have done differently is walking 3-4 times a week for 40 min
Good luck to all... I have no side effects at all just more energy! "

" ... Hi Lita, the answer is no.. AS LONG AS YOU KEEP A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE. Hydroxycut Max works wonders (for me and my friends) but the key is to use it as a "supplement" to your diet and fitness plan. You won't shed fat by taking a pill.. not if you don't have the other two factors in play. It might seem overwhelming.. but it's all about baby steps.. and slowly getting used to the new lifestyle and the NEW YOU. Trust me once you start seeing results that's motivation enough to not be lazy or to stop eating junk.
Best of luck and keep us posted! "

01-05-2009 09:28:02 [ Jen ]
" ... DOES HYDROXYCUT MAX WORK? Well in my 2 months of use, YES YES YES!
I really can't help myself but this is finally the one diet pill that I've used in over 10 years that actually makes a difference. I've have pretty much tried them all over the years but this one seems to stand out.. because it actually works. I started early November of 08 and was weighing between 165-170.. and today (even after the holidays) I am proud to say I am 143. This may not seem much to some.. but I am extremely happy.. and I am aiming to hit 125 by the spring time (my highschool weight!!). Anyways, from my personal advice.. be sure to also improve your eating habits and try to get SOME form of exercise each day.. even if it's a walk around the block if you don't have time for the gym.
I wish all you ladies the best of luck.. I am half way there! "

" ... Hi ladies, I see that a lot of you have lost weight. I've tried several things on the market and notice that this by far is one of the best products out there. I actually started this product on the 1-1-09 because of the review that I have read on here. My question have you guys changed your eating habits completely or to some degree? I want to be about 30lbs slimmer before march. I've been watching what I eat and have been going to the pool and walking every day (considering i have a 7 month old). Reading these reviews have definetly motivated me and I am ready to have my new body after the baby. I have noticed that I have lost 5lbs since I started but I am thinking its probably water weight or the scale isn't working well. I am very excited and will keep you ladies posted on my weightloss journey.
Good Luck Ladies!!

" ... Hi Ladies I am going to buy this product over the weekend. I really appreciate all of the post good and bad. For the ladies who are experiencing pimples I have found that when you rev up your workout, you need to rev up your clensing. I have found that when I swear alot I have to wash my face immediately after. If not, is start to get pimples. Also make sure its a clenser. even if you wait to take a shower when you get home you need to clense your face as soon as you get done excercising at the place of excercise. make sure to clease your face and neck area (front and back) "

" ... Started last Sunday (this is Wed) and so far so good. I'm energetic, don't have any of the side effects. My concern is that it won't work as fast or as well for me, seeing that my work-out consists of a 40-45 min walk pushing a stroller and holding on to two well-behaved but excited golden retrievers. The walk is brisk, but not fast by any means. I'm worried this is not enough, and I don't have time to do more since I'm a stay-at-home mom and I also go to school online...so time is limited for me. Or maybe I have poor organization skills, but...we'll see whath happens. I cook healthy, but not always. I'll keep checking in... "

" ... I am on day four of HM and am at the 2/2 stage. I have lost 15 lbs on my own, but have lost nothing the past two weeks. My husband lives by this stuff and thought i should try it though I have always been so skeptical of taking anything like this to help me lose weight. I have had a problem sleeping if I take the second dose in the evening, but I deal. Other effects that I am experiencing are gas, slight jitters, but only if I do not eat within the specified time (30 min to hour after). It definitely has curbed my appetite. I do not feel energized at all, but time will tell. I usually weigh myself once a week, but have decided to weigh early jsut to see if there has been any change. As of right now I am 4 lbs down. Not bad. This so far is with me only walking 15 minutes for two days (lunch break). I go to the gym on Friday/Saturday and do more intense cardio/weights. Hopefully that will help. "

I do drink alot of water and only water, but I can't seem to handle the 80. I'm always having to use the restroom, and at work its a problem. Don't have any side affects which is great.

My head hurts really bad and my stomach feels like its tied in knots, but you know how us women are, I am bound and determined to lose those extra pds so i am willing to put up with the discomfort, I haven't even tryed the 6 pills a day thing i will stick with 4 pills a day. Well i will keep you posted but after this bottle is gone, i won't be buying another bottle, just not worth it because of the side effects. "

" ... im 19, 5'5 and weigh 140. ive been on this pill for 5 days now and its absolutly amazing. ive already lost about 4 pounds. i already eat well and ive just been walking/jogging on the tred mill every other day. i had some small problems in the begining because i didnt drink all of the water i was supposed too. and i figured out that when you dont drink enough water you feel nauseated ! so drink like 4 water bottles a day. and you'll be ok ! "

" ... i am thinking about buying HM myself, but first I wanted to know if anyone taking HM for a while has had any chest pains after starting it. if so please post. "

" ... I am only on day 2 of my Hydroxycut Max's but I just wanted to comment after reading what people write. I hope I can have the results like many of you do....I was told in GNC that you have to take a multivitamin with this product because it rids your body of vitamins and minerals...if you take the multivitamin you most likely wont have the side effects as long as you are drinking 10 8 oz glasses of water a day...hope this helps! ill post again in a week or so....good luck to everyone!

" ... I used to take trimspa but its off the market and I had to look for something else ...I ran across the Max and I take no more than 3 a day...and space them no less than 5-6 hours apart and I love this!!! The fact that it's liquid makes it all the better...it kicks in around 5 minutes after I take it! Great energy...no jitters...I do get a headache sometimes on an empty stomach...but all in all....Love this product!!!!! "

" ... I have been taking HM for 5 days now. I am a healthy 27 year old (5'10", 135lbs.). I watch my diet and exercise daily. My goal for using this product was to give me the push I need for fitness modeling. I followed the directions exactly and am currently on 2 pills 2x a day. The first 2 days, I loved HM. I had energy and I felt great about myself. Then it started where I couldn't fall asleep at night. I just laid in my bed for hours trying to fall asleep. Then I started getting real itchy on my upper arms and thighs. The worst part is the chest pain. I was hoping to see that other people had this side effect to know if it was normal. I am trying to pass it off as severe heartburn. I think I will follow my instincts and stop taking the pill. I hope my experience helps some of you out there. Good Luck Everyone! "
02-20-2009 10:08:35 [ MBW ]
" ... Hey Ladies - I am on day 3. I think I will stick to 1 pill twice a day. I have had no side effects besides a flushed face. This concerns me. I'm an esthetician so I ALWAYS pay super close attention to my skin. My face becomes very hot and I have tiny spots of broken capillaries from this product. It feels tight and dry. Very close to what a sunburn feels like. I'm going to take this product for one week and see what happens.
I haven't lost any weight but do feel slimmer. My stomach bloat is gone. Energy has been increased and is helpful when I work. I hope my face calms down or else I will be aborting the Hydroxy mission. "

" ... I am on week two of HM. I cannot handle the three pills three times per day! I feel sooo nauseous! I also feel a lot more lethargic and dopey this week! The first week I lost 4 lbs and this week I gained two. I think I will stick to two pills, twice a day. Hopefully I will continue to lose and feel better. "

" ... Hey guys...Im definielty interested in trying this supplement but Im in college and Im on birth control. I was wondering if any of you girls are using birth control as well as the HM. If so, I want to know if you have experienced any extra side effects possibly dur to the combination on the birth control and the HM. Please let me know. Thanks!! "

" ... I have been taking HM for 2 weeks. I am taking 3 in morning and afternoon and this is definitely too much. I don't typically drink more than one serving of coffee a day, but this dose is causing poor sleep. I am going to cut down to 3 pills in morning and 1 in afternoon. I have not had any other side effects. I definitely have more energy. Though, I am not certain if the weight loss is attributable to a reduced calorie diet and exercise or the pills. "

" ... Hi, I started the HM on Monday Feb 23, 09. I am following as per the instructions, I am on day 3 and taking one tabled in the morning on an empty stomach and one in the evening on an empty stomach. I also avoid taking it 5 hours before I sleep, and taking a multi-vitamin on a full stomach twice a day. Overall I feel great. I can't wait to weigh in on Sunday. I am also doing cardio and weights every day, and watching my food intake. Will keep you posted. "

I have lost 5lbs total and still doing cardio 5xs a wk...I am dieting and exercising but just feel like it should be more lost during this timeframe...I'll stick with it a lil longer to see still motivated 40lbs more to go.

" ... I am on day 3 of HM and I feel like it is working. I started 2/2, but i plan to increase to the maximum dose of 6 pills a day. The first night I could not sleep at all; I felt like a zombie!! Other than that, I have lost 4 pounds!! =) I work out 3 times a week and try to eat as healthy as possible. I drink so much water and I was not a big caffiene drinker to start with. I am so excited!! I hope I can get to my goal before the summer. Only 35 lbs to go...
Good luck to everyone!! "

" ... Hi all,
So this is the first time ever that I have taken any kind fat burn pills. I'm still really skeptical, thats why I search for real consumer results and opinions. Alot of the time i feel that the comments are not from real consumers. Anyway,after taking the first pill I had alot of energy and felt very jittery. I'm on day 6 and taking 2 pills twice daily and i still have alot of energy but the jittery feeling went away. I work out 4-5 days a week, i'm 5'7- 157 lbs. I havent seen much weight lose but i feel its b/c I use weight on top of doing cardio and muscle weighs more than fat. I will forsure let everyone know my results and at the end of the pills, let everyone know if HM actually worked for me. I also drinks lots of water and eat healthy. "
02-26-2009 12:15:09 [ RBV ]
" ... I am taking HM and have noticed some tingling and a tad bit of jitteryness at the two twice a day dose. Doing the tolerance test is best. Take the first three day dosage, and up it only to where it seems to burn fat. Definitely drink lots of water and don't take more of it than you need "
02-26-2009 13:09:19 [ Brittany ]
" ... Hey everyone.
Well after reading all of your review i kinda want to try this. i have never taken a diet pill or fat burner before.. so I am not sure what to expect. I want to lose about 5-10 lbs. I am at a platue right now... and hopefully this can get me past it? i workout 5-6 times a week. will the birth control pill effect it? "
02-27-2009 08:28:36 [ Beth ]
" ... I just bought HM yesterday and took my first dose at 7 pm. I love the energy and hope they work for me I am a Size 24 and hoping to reach at least a 16. I really dont have a "diet" just Diet soda and dried fruit and raw almonds. Also I am eating alot of carrots and celery to keep my mouth busy.;) I dont have a scale so I am going to go by how my clothes fit. I'll let you know hoe it goes. "
03-02-2009 08:59:02 [ licia ]
" ... try not to drink any soda's diet or not the bottle specifies that its important. I've been on it for only three days, i do feel weird at times and have frequent BM i also feel nausea but i need to drink more water to thats probably why. i want to lose 661bs that will bring me down to 180 because i am currently 246. good luck to all i hope this works "

" ... I just got HM today. I am 5'3 and I weight 147. I am hoping to get down to 130. Only 17 lbs. I have the IMPLANON, birth control implant. I am hoping it doesnt affect the weight loss.. or cause problems. I am going to start out at 2 pills daily.. on in the morning and one in the afternoon. I will keep updating. If anyone is on BC and has been taking HM.. some insight would be great. Thanks! And wish me luck!! "
03-03-2009 22:06:54 [ ready2shed ]
" ... Hey everyone! I just started HM yesterday and am kind of nervous of taking it because diet pills always make my heart speed up to an uncomfortable pace and I sometimes have chest pain. I haven't had either of these side effects with the HM, but it probably is too soon to tell. I'm in my 4th year of college and partying the first 2 years really caught up to me (weight wise). I urge everyone to drink water and water only. I do drink 1 bottle of diet green tea a day to help speed up my bolism, since it's on TURTLE speed. I am also using a meal replacement shake. I believe it's called LEAN SHAKE or something to that effect. When I bought the HM, I got a discount on the shake so I took up the offer. I find it very helpful too! It motivates me to get up in the morning and make that shake with some fresh fruit and a little ice. Being pretty young in age it's very hard to weigh over 200 lbs. It's not only hard, it's an embarrassment. I know I've wrote a novel, but I wanted to share somethings with everyone because I know how bad it stinks to want to shed those pounds and it never ACTUALLY HAPPENING. Good luck to everyone and keep in touch! "
03-04-2009 11:20:11 [ MJ ]
" ... I have never heard of birth control effecting a diet pill, but I have heard of it working the opposite way. I don't know how either could effect each other, but even if it's just a rumor that diet pills could effect your birth control I would still be cautious. "
03-04-2009 21:57:52 [ ready2shed ]
" ... I still haven't got the courage to take more than 1 HM a day. I took it early this morning and I'm still WIRED! I have been having trouble sleeping at night so I wanted to take it as early as possible so that way at night I could sleep, well it's MIDNIGHT now and I'm still going strong. I don't know if anyone else is having this issue, but it's good and bad at the same time. The HM does make me feel a little strange at times, but I guess that is normal? I plan to keep up to date with all of you, so feel free to reply to my posts.
Also in my first post, it should have been "BOLISM" instead of "BOLISM" haha Don't know how that happened and I missed it, but it did. MUST BE THE HM! JK!

" ... Hey everyone..it's Megan again for an update...thanks for the update lucy! I am soo proud! I do have to agree...I LOVE THIS PRODUCT! IT IS AMAZING!!!!!!!!! I have been taking this for about 3 weeks because ive had it 4 weeks and stopped for a week to take cold meds because you can't take this product with anything else. I have LOST 8 lbs!!!! at beginning of January I weighed at 162 or so I think and I started this is February...around the 6th minus a week....I weigh myself every morning because I am soo anxious to see what is happening..I weighed today at 150.6 and I am 5'2. I am very short and cannot use any extra LBS!!!!!! I am going on a trip to Mexico in June and I hope to be back to my High School weight of 125 or 30 ish.....20 lbs to go and I'm done! just maintaining after that. I also drink about 2-3 liters of water a day..those tall smart waters are great because they are huge and it helps me drink all of my water. Other than that, I drink nothing but clear liquids if Im tired of water by the end of the day I may have a sprite or something. For breakfast, I have a bagel with eggs and sometimes cheese..I usually eat half and then eat another half a little later because I can't eat all of it usually in one sitting...For lunch, I'll have something with hardly any fat like a sandwich ...turkey or something even a dollar taco from taco bell if you can stomach it...haha I like them..sorry....Dinner is my biggest meal along with breakfast and at Dinner I always make fish, grilled chicken, or turkey meat in spaghetti or something with veggies, and rice and of course WATER! I feel like a fish...haha..I am always on the toilet. I feel completely safe with this product because of one it having no ephedrine anymore and it's so easy to follow with this. I stay at the 2/2 combo because I should be up to three and three but the 2/2 makes me feel great and I want to stay at 2/2.I would do what your comfortable with according to how you feel by the end of the 7th day of HM. I workout 4 days a week for 30 min and I also got a Wii for my apartment when I dont feel like going to the fitness center...haha. I am crazy. sorry. I need to stop typing before I blow this laptop up.I hope everyone finds this helpful. Just dont have caffeine or foods with caffeine...water water water..clear clear clear...haha I live by it!!!!! Everyone update! I'd love to read them! GOOD LUCK!!!!!! STAY MOTIVATED!!!!!!!!!!!!! *Megan* "

Today is my 2nd day on it, strangley the morning dosage of 3 i feel great!! so much energy and great Mood, dont even need a coffee fix, but afternoon dosage of 3 i feel so nacieous, light deaded, dizzy anyone else get it? i think for my afternoon dosage i will go down to 2 and see how i go, its not worth feeling like this at work!
i am noticing results though, however strickt diet & 6 x a week of exercise, this isnt a miracle pill, is aids in weight loss with controlled diet and exercise! "
03-07-2009 09:28:07 [ ready2shed ]
" ... Hey Beth! How are you liking the LEAN SHAKE? I've been taking it for over a weak now and I honestly love it! To be honest when I started drinking it I started with the 2 scoops like it recommended and now I'm down to only one because I'm getting too full off that much shake. I have really cut my calories in half by drinking the shake twice a day and even more so since I cut the "dosage" in half. I really hope you enjoy the shake as much as I do. I force it down by adding ice, water, and fresh fruit, so if you ever want to cut your calories down even more by removing the soy milk, then maybe the fruit can help you too. I honestly don't mind the taste with adding the water... I just know fresh fruit is healthy and everyone should have their daily value of it. I find myself eating celery a lot too. If you don't like the taste of celery, add a little peanut butter and raisins, it might seem strange, but I find it a tastey lil snack! I'm trying to lose the same amount you are and I honestly can tell I've lost inches, but I don't know how much weight because I don't own a scale. I'm 5'9 and almost weigh 240! I honestly can't stand myself like this and I'm always depressed, but just the progress I've made within the past week, my confidence has already doubled and I feel great! I hope other people take the advice about the lean shake because I really believe it's beneficial to losing a lot of weight. I have really tried to cut carbs out too. I eat a lot of tuna that comes in the packs with sunflower seed oil, so good! (if you like tuna that is) My exercising is through the roof! I go to the gym and my boyfriend practically has to drag me out! I'm obsessed with my health and and being healthy! I want to be happy and healthy and I believe the only way I can do so is if I get my body back to the way it once was. (In HIGH SCHOOL when I played SPORTS) Anyway... let me know how it works for you! "

03-09-2009 18:16:46 [ shanie ]
" ... I have the lean Shake as well and the lady at GNC told me to mix it with Milk. At first I must admit I thought two scoops was a bit much it seems like a lot. I do like it with the water I just try not to think about the taste. As for the HM I feel a little weird in the morning dose but I am only on day three. I must admit you have to eat when you are suppose to or you will feel nervous or jittery. I do feel like I have lost inches and I do not own a scale to check the pounds. I am drinking 10 glasses of water as directed. "

" ... Ok , Started taking these yesterday 1/1. Definately noticed the energy burst, have heartburn after taking and some loose BM, but i have irritable bowel syndrome, which is sometimes agrivated by caffeine.. I noticed the appetite suppressant effect is really working as well. I drink tons on water and herbal tea, no coffee or anything with caffeine. I am on a healthy , mid level carb (90-150g) diet plan and do 30 min intense cardio (%80 of max), 4 days a week, plus 30 minutes of strength, twice a week. Plus walking on off days. I am 23, weigh 155lbs, 5"7. I'll keep you posted on what happens over this week. "

I am 5'6'' and weigh about 253 now when i started on feb26th I think i weighed about 267. I dont keep a scale in the house i go to walmart and check my weight. I have cut my calories even without the shake i am not as hungry as i used to be, or maybe its that i am so happy with my weightloss. I really need to start excercising I have yet to start. I am just so busy with school and work, but i will start the gym, and see how that goes I am sure it will help lots! Thanks for writing and let me know how it goes with you! Good Luck! "

No bad side effects except for extreme shakes/jitters. Sometimes I cant even write or do my makeup because I shake so bad but full of energy and I love it! GREAT PILL!! "

" ... I started HM on Monday. I have been eating right and drinking LOTS of water. I was scared the first night that I wasn't going to be able to go to sleep. I've had a bad experience with Slimquick. I had an anxiety attack with that stuff. I would not recommend that EVER. Anyway the only side effects I've had was my stomach being upset, my feet swell, I feel like I'm starving through out the day but that could be that I sit at a desk all day and I'm bored and by the end of the day i'm crashing and wanting to go to bed. But I have lost 1 lb so far so that is a plus. I have done some research on the ingredients in this supplement. you may want to look up Yohimbe. I found that you shouldn't eat cheese, liver or drink red wine while on this supplement. And it also helps with your libido. But unfortunately it can make your blood pressure go up. So This Yohimbe stuff may be the cause of some of your problems. I would suggest lower your dosage and up the water. I am only doing 1 twice a day for now. I'm nervouse about moving up. It gives me a sufficient amount of energy and I've already lost 1 lb. So we will see. "
03-13-2009 12:57:38 [ ready2shed ]
" ... Um... yeah! Today after I took my 1 single pill... an hour later I had the worst PANIC attack! I am done with the hydroxy cut. I know everyone is different, but I was sick for almost 2 hours and I felt horrible! I had the worst shakes ever, my chest was hurting, and I turned white as a sheet. I followed the directions as good as anyone and I got sick. I'm not trying to scare anyone, but just be careful. I never went over 1 pill a day I can't imagine how anyone can do the requird dosage. "

Hi ladies this is my 3rd week taking Hm I'm doing the drink mix instead of the pills i have to say that it is working although I haven;t weighed myself my boyfriend has noticed that I'm slimming down I figure I'll weigh myself after I'm finished the box which will be 3/21/2009 my starting weight was 186lbs my goal weight is 125lbs I'm prety active not as active as I would like to be I walk everyday and lift weights every other day hopefully the scale will know the difference between fat and muscle eith way I have a pair of jeans that I'm dying to get in if I can atleast get them up to my thighs then I know some progress has been made I will not give up on this product because I know for a fact that the real results come from me working alittle more harder and eating right as much as possible ladies good luck to all of you as well as myself We'll all reach our goals sooner or later..

" ... Okay ladies. I have NEVER taken any dietary supplement before in my life cause I haven't needed to. I just gave birth to a baby girl 2 months ago. I have a pooch and my husband told me about HM! He takes alot of BSN products and so i decided to try it and see how it works. I wanted to look like the MODELS on the box. Well today was my first day. I know I'm not suppose to see results automatically except that my bladder works. So I took it by directions, had a healthy breakfast, went to the gym, took it again, had a healthy lunch so what could go wrong right? Well I had NO ENERGY what so ever. I felt like I just came off of an energy drink with major crash and had headaches, nausea, even vomiting. I still feel to this very point very bad, I can hardly take care of my daughter. PLEASE BE CAREFUL. I wasn't taking the pills, I was taking the powder in LEMONADE. I maybe thought it was because my body was telling me maybe i don't need to loose weight.

" ... As far as the product working, it really does depend on the person using it. It may work tremendously for one person and may not work at all for another. One person may have no side effects at all but another person may vomit and what not. So if you are having extremem side effects it is always wise to discontinue the supplement. i have had side effects but not to where I need to stop taking it. I started me 3 twice a day and it made me feel sooo irritable so I am going to stick with the two twice a day. i feel way more sane that way. But always be careful with whatever supplement you use. We all have different body chemistries. And if you are skinny already, I would not recommend taking a supplement. I would reccomend something like Pilate's or strength training. And if you just had a child your hormones are already still out of wack so there is no telling how this stuff could effect you. This is my second week and I know for a fact I have lost. I don't know how much yet though. I will report later this week or next week. "

" ... I started the drink mix 2 days ago.. All the reviews on here seem to be about the pill, just wondering how the drink mix is working with other people?? I definetly have alot more energy and cant wait to loose this weight for summer! I am also combining this with the lean shake and after only 2 days I can tell the HM and lean shake are gonna deliver some great results. I read a review about the lean shake being too thick, if you add some more water it is ALOT better, I found it to be kinda gross with just 8 oz so I watered it down a little bit and its sooo much better that way. Goodluck to everybody on their weight loss!! "

" ... Hi,I am 44 yrs old 5'7 and at 176lds, i stated HC on March 2nd, I am now at 166 lds, i have lost 10 lds, I did build up to the 2 pills in the morning and 2 before dinner, but found that i was too keyed up so i take 1 pill 30 min before BF, 1 pill 30 before lunch and 1 pill around 4pm before i go jogging. I did not experience any side effects,this is curbing my appetite(taking the edge off) and gives me energy( not a ton of energy but enough...... My goal is to reach 150 lds, I did make life style adjustments such as not to eat past 7pm, drink plenty of water( not diet soda ) and i jog 3.5 miles 6 days a week and am eatting smaller size portions and not junk food. I do not think this pill will work unless its combined with diet and exercise. I wish everyone much success in their weight lost and will do another update on April 2nd "

" ... I’m 5’6, currently 136 pounds. One month ago I was 145 pounds. I started taking HM one week ago and I’ve dropped 2 pounds with it. I eat about 1500 calories a day and allow myself one cheat day to eat whatever the heck I want. I also work out 6 days a week; about an hour a day. I alternate each day with cardio (running or spin class), strength training (mostly circuits) and Pilates. HM helps with water retention; and it also encourages me to drink more water. I do not take more than 4 per day. When I first taking the supplement, I had slight headaches. I could also feel my heart rate go faster; however my body may be “used” to the pill now and I no longer get headaches. I do still feel my heart rate go up about 15 minutes after taking it. For me, HM is effective. "

" ... Hi, I have been on HM for one month I love it! I have noticed a difference I went from a size 24 to a 18. I feel much better now that I am drinking 3 liters of water a day! the water really offsets some of the side effects. I have not added excercise into my daily routine yet but hoping to next week. I am hoping to be a size 14 by may 26. I did go back down to 2 pills twice a day and i also take a multi and sometimes extra B. I love those viactive calcuim chews they are good for you and are sweet. I will keep updating. GOOD LUCK to you all!!!! "

I walk 4 miles 4 days a week and use my exercise ball and resistance bands 2 days a week. I just picked up HM and started it yesterday before I took my walk and I felt fine, when I took it this morning with my multivitamin I waited 3o minutes and had breakfast, then became really sick to my stomach.

I like the energy it gives you.All the side efects are from not eating when you are supposed to,not drinking water..etc. If you can't drink a red bull without gettin jittery or impatient for some reason you will hate this.lol.I been taking it for a month and lost 6 pounds w/ exercise and good diet.Although I have a rough time waking in the morning from it and it makes me itchy like I had taken Niacin..IDK anybody else get this?

" ... I have been taking HM (with the lean shake meal supplement) for 5 days now and I think it is an effective pill. I have lost 3lbs so far. Today, I did experience a slight headache, but not too bad. My heart does race at times and when I feel strange I just drink some water and it helps. You have to stay hydrated and drink lots of water. I know that it may be helpful to read about other people's experiences and side effects before you take the pill, but in some cases it can screw you up. When I first started to read reviews people were getting rashes and itching and stuff then all of a sudden I was itchy. It was a mind thing because I had no rash on my skin! LOL It was like I expected it to happen so I believed it was hapening to me. Well, we all know there are side effects so if you do experience any please take it seriously. And even if you are very desperate to lose weight always follow the instructions carefully and don't over do it. If this diet regimen doesn't work for you...there are others so don't give up, just be safe. I am hoping to go from 178 to 155...wish me luck! "

I am a person who is not into believeing to take some pills to make you loose weight I believe in exercising and diet however I have been at the gym for 3 days a day the last 2 months, dieting and swimming after the gym and I havent seen a different so that is why I decided to turn to taking weight loss pills to help with the process. Like I said I only took 1 pill today and automatically within 1 hour I felt really dizzy and nausea, and I had no feeling to my hands in the first few minutes it was really weird and freaked me out. I havent had the problems of having bathroom problems but I am sure if I keep continueing to do so it may occur.

I would have to agree with everyone whom posted the headaches, my god I thought my head would explode, but today is only the first day, so we would see.

" ... I was excited to get this because most the reviews were positive enough to try plus I needed the mental motivation to get me started on my weight loss goals. I'm 36 y/o 5'4 and weighed my heaviest at 137! Shocking for me when a couple of years ago I lost about 17 lbs. I worked hard without diet pills cutting out soda eating way less and working out 5 days a week to videos at home. I felt all that hard work was going to be too hard to do again. Anyhow, I got the HCM and started with 1 pill two times daily because I'm sensitive to caffeine. That was fine so the next day I did 2 twice a day and noticed I felt quite nervous and shaky but very energetic. Went to the gym and worked out longer than usual. I won't do 3 a day because I think it'll make me throw up. I don't like the way it makes me feel and I honestly don't think it's helping in my weight loss. So far I've lost 3 lbs but not sure to how much I've really lost because of pms right now. I've been working out 6 days a week for an hour a day and I only drink nonfat milk and lots of water. I stick to healthier meals. No matter what weight loss is hard work and these pills won't do it for you. Once you get into a routine and see some results you get more motivation. The hardest part for me was cutting back on the snacking. I love food and could eat all day. Now that I'm starting to see results it's been easier for me to change my eating habits. Hope this helps. Good luck to all. "

" ... Hi ladies, just wanted to give you an update since my first entry last month. I have been on HM since March 2nd, I have gone from 176 pounds to 161 pounds(-15 pounds ). I am 44 and am 5'7. I am not taking the recommended dose, just 3 pills a day, one at BF, one at Lunch and one before i go jogging which is 6 days a week around 4-5pm. I do not eat pass 7pm, I have one cheat day(if i feel like it ), i am only drinking water and nothing else.I stop eatting junk food, since i have 3 kids, Whatever dinner that i prepare, i just make sure that i do not eat large portions.I have not suffered any side effects, According to my WII Fit i won't be at a healthy weight until i am at 150 pounds, I still have 11 pounds to go. I do not think that you will see results unless you are eatting right, and exercising, this is not a magic pill. Once i get to my ideal weight, i will stop taking the pills and try and maintain with just diet and exercise. I will give you an update at the end of this month if i have reach my goal of 150 pounds "

" ... I just bought Hydroxycut Max over the weekend and started it today (4/13/09). I took one pill this morning and plan to take the other before my workout (about 5pm). I have been reading over the reviews for this product and really appreciate those who have posted. Thus far, I really haven't felt the energy boost yet, but I took the first pill around 11am and about an hour later I was in the bathroom. I guess this effect of Hm will be a good thing for me because I have don't have regular/consistent bm's. Hearing about some of the side effects worries me a little, but I'm excited to see the results it will bring me. I'm 26 yrs old, a regular coffee drinker, 5'3, and weigh 190 (could be a little more, but haven't weighed myself in a while). My goal is to get to 145lbs. And I know I'll have to slow up on the coffee, seeing how Hm has a lot of caffine in it (3 cups of coffee worth). A friend recommended this product to me, and she's been having great success with it...lost 10lbs in one week. I will definitely be posting again with updates. "

I'm not working out because I'm afraid I will pass out from exhaustion just from taking HM but i'm sure i'll get used to it after a while. I'm reducing my dosage to week 2 recommended.

" ... I think many of you didn't step up your game.Logically it takes smart people to lose the weight. In order for this to work you have to increase your regimen to see a difference. I am very sure you all haven't followed the directions and expect it to be a magic pill. Some of you who has a personal trainer, you have to tell them what you need to lose weight, and he/she should tell you to step up on the cardio and lessen on the weight lifting. All of this can simply be prevented if you follow the directions of the bottle and research proper diets and proper exercise. I have taken the bottle and did all my homework and so far have lost 13lbs in 3 weeks. Although I am getting over an acl injury, but through proper time, I am seeing results. I don't expect it to make magic, but in order for magic to occur, you have make it happen not wait for it to happen. Also, minimize the amount you eat by small portions if you eat and exercise. If you dont exercise shorten your portions and only eat 3x a day. Dont fill your stomach up. Just eat small portions and if you are hungry apple will fill you up, or drinking lots of water. I've invested in water and drink about 5-8 bottle of water. I will fill you in about 3 more weeks to tell you where I am at. "

" ... I posted about a week ago (4/13/09)...I have lost 6lbs since then. I weighed myself the night I begin taking it and was at 183lbs. This morning, I weigh 177lbs. I haven't worked out at all since i started taking them either. I've been so busy with other things and waiting for the weather to break so that i can jog outside...I just haven't made the time to exercise. Overall, I can feel the energy boost when i take them, it puts me in a really good mood (and usually i'm slow and dragging at work), and it has definitely curbed my appetite. I'm not as hungry as much anymore and when i do eat i don't eat as much (i get full quicker). I'm truly satisfied with this product and will continue to take it (the next 2-3 months) until i can reach my goal weight of 145. I will post an update soon. "

" ... I have taken diet pills before and I have to say I didn not like this Hydroxycut Max. It did make me feel sick when I would first take my dose but that went away shortly after. All it did was give me a lot of energy, but the wired type. I did follow the directions and agree with "Q" comments for the most part in respect to "stepping it up" and 'eating right" but that is MY point abotu this. Everybody's body is different and this just didn't work for me. I normally eat well and all I really drink is water and I run avg 3x per wk in addition to another routine and I have not lost any weight if anything I have gained a couple pounds at 1 point. I do agree that any diet pill is not magic & doesn't give you the green light to bad eating habits or eat what you want, but at that same time if you are doing what you ae supposed to you shouldnt have to work extra, extra hard. If it aint broke don't fix it...i will go back to my prev pill of choice. Also, a friend of mine took this too (wasn't max) and they said the same thing...just energy amd more BM no weight loss. "

" ... Hi Everyone. I've been on Hydroxycut Max for about a year now. In January of 2008 I weighed 190 lbs, and i'm 5'6''. I am now 133. I am very happy at this weight. It took about 10 months to lose that 60 or so lbs, safely! And for my body type, it's a struggle every day! I cannot follow the amount of pills it tells you to take, i never have. It drives me crazy and i'm going a mile a minute, not good.. so just two pills a day i do, ive never done more than 4 a day, otherwise i can't sleep. It's just a good old helper to the diet and exercise. If you stop taking it abrubtly without weening yourself down, you will put on weight fast! and be careful because these things can get you hooked somewhat phsychologically. good luck! "

" ... i was using Hydroxycut for 5 days..i was 120 pounds..This product is awful.made me really sick for the first couple of days,I had an upset stomach, horrible headache and I'm a smoker, I couldn't even smoke. I felt like my heart was going to pop out everytime I had a cigarette.
yes it gave me some enegy when i worked out but I got off the pills and now I have gained 8 pounds..I can not control my cravings especially sweets and now I'm always hungry. The pills totally messed up my system and I do not recommand this product for anyone. its garbage.. Happy to say they have a money back gurantee so I got my $60.00 back.
I would never use this again and now I have to work out twice as hard to go back to 120 pounds, I'm just livid at what it did to my body!!!! "

" ... I started taking HM five days ago. I am down two pounds so far. I really do feel great. Lots of energy. For me the trick is lots and lots of water and also I make sure to eat plenty. If I do not eat then I feel funny. I am 5-7 168 pounds. I am so excited to continue this pill and see where it takes me. Good luck to everyone and dont give up "

" ... I started taking HM for Women 4 days ago. First 3 days, i was taking a total of 2 caps/day. Today, I took 4 caps/day...still no sign of weight loss..I'm 35 y/o, 124 lbs, 5'1. Aiming to lose 15-20 lbs in 8 weeks. I do light cardio, and try to keep 1500 calories intake/day. Last year, I tried ISAGENIX and lost 18 lbs in 2 weeks since I did the 9 day cleansing program. But ISAGENIX failed to work after several months, after not being consistent. I figure that maybe, trying another product will do me another miracle. "

" ... I started taking HM on the 28th of Feb and I went from 38% Body fat now down to 31% BF. I am 5 "3", I weighed 166lbs when I started it and now I weigh 155. I was going for more BF loss than just pounds; so I have accomplished my goals. I still have 10-15lbs to go over the next couple of months but I am happy with this product. You do have to drink lots of water with HM. I take it for 25-30 days then I take 5 days off and then start up again. The first month I took 3pills 2x's a day and now I take 2pills 2x's a day. That seems to work better for me. I caution those who are not actively doing at least 45mins of cardio 5 days a week. This is for heavy hard core gym geeks. I work out twice a day and there is no way I could take this and go sit at a desk for 8hrs. I would go stir crazy. This product is made to help you burn additional calories and it is great. I have heard of better products.....but they are all illegal. Smile. So I love it and I am going to join the Army next week. I hope this helps someone who is on the fence. I have two bottles one in my cabinet at home and one in my gym bag. I don't go anywhere without it. I love what it has helped me accomplish. Oh and I have felt the burn. I love that too. It is nice to get a product that does exactly what it is advertised to do. Best wishes to you all "

" ... I used the old formula before it was taken off the market and I really liked it. Never had any issues with it, but I went and bought the new formula last week and it seems to be working just as well. It works much better if you exercise and eat better just like any other diet. I try and do 3 miles and it definitely is paying off. I try not to weigh myself so often that way it's a nice surprise when I do. As far as side effects, I've had the hot flashes and been jittery every now and then. The new formula is FDA approved though so it shouldn't be too bad. "

" ... I am on day four of the new formula. I am 20 years old, 5'4'' and 160lbs and a mother of one. I weighed this morning at 155lbs. Probably some water weight, although I feel great. No side effects unless I eat something fatty, then I get a little nauseated. I workout 60 minutes every other day, and walk for 30 min. on in between days. I eat what I want just no eating out and no soda or tea. This product has given me an enormous amount of stamina during my workouts. It also curbs my appitite like you wouldn't believe!!! I would recommend this product to anyone who is in doubt. Just fallow the directions! "
07-16-2009 10:19:10 [ Crystal ]
" ... Ashley -- Please pay more attention to what you read!!!! This new formula is NOT FDA approved. The makers say they changed the formula even though they found no casual relations between their product and liver damagee. But that they have created a new formula to replace the herbs used in the prior. Now I do not believe this to be completely true, due to the speed in which the "NEW" products hit the shelves. Now with that being said I loved the old formula, and believe that those people had health issues prior to taking the pills, ex. one man found out he had Hep. B (which by the way causes liver damage) only days before sueing Hydroxycut. So I think it is a lot of BS, I did go buy a new bottle yesterday and can only hope it works the same as the old formula.

So far great energy, ran much longer today than normal, no side effects otherwise, but I haven't had other caffeine at all. Probably won't even go to 2x...I just need to lose 10 lbs, and my big thing was needing an energy kick. Good luck all! "

Due to medical issues, I went from 155 (nice size 9 for me) to 192. I have attended a weight loss clinic for one year using preion weight loss meds. What a waste of time and energy! Believe me, FDA aproved or not, this can be no worse than the "legitimate" regimens practiced by health care providers. What I have noticed so far (yes, I noticed immediately)is the absolute restraint I am able to practice with portion control and in-between meal eating. My appetite is so remarkably different than it has been in the past two years. We'll see if this holds; I'll report back. That is why a three for now "

08-09-2009 22:46:51 [ Sherri ]
" ... Sade,
I bet Pediasure will help rebalance your electrolytes. I'd say go for it. I know it's something doctors recommend when BM's are more than usual, or you have the runs. It's difficult drinking lots of water all day long. Something with taste would help. Pediasure will give you some flavor. For me, I drink water but it's vitamin enhanced with "fake' sugar. That helps me a great deal.
By the way, I'm trying my first HM dose tomorrow. I need to lose (but it might be water weight) between 8 and 10 pounds before my wedding the end of Sept. I hope this stuff helps.
Since i haven't started yet, I'll give it a middle of the road rating. "

For years I have struggled with low energy and Hydroxycut Max original formula was my miracle cure for that without any side effects. The new advanced formula IS NOT Hydroxycut Max. It doesn't work in anyway like the original formula. Now I'm on the search AGAIN for a great energy boost, appetite suppresent. It would be helpful if you'd just bring the original formula back. Like with anything out there, you just have to be smart about the way you take it. "

I am so excited I am so happy to be able to post my results.. good results for a change! I have been using this max advanced diet pill for just over 2 months now and I am so thrilled with the results.. just about 21lbs GONE! I didn't really need to adjust my exercise (which I do minimal) or my diet which is "pretty" clean. This shows me that the pill works on it's own.. but for the next couple of months I am going to hire a personal trainer to boost the results A LOT more hopefully! I might even cut out my worst enemy.. oreo blizzards!
Anyways, really happy with this product and I am glad to be able to share my progress and results with you all.. this is something I would have needed when I was looking a few years back.. great resource here on this website I must add.
I will be in touch to let you guys know how I am progressing.. and of course how cute (hopefully) my new trainer is!

" ... hi.. i have just started hm.. i am going on my 4th day tomorrow.. i feel like i lost a pound of two. But i just bought the pills to loose the weight because i have no time for the gym or i cant follow diet plans.. Has anyone tried this without working out , if so have you lost weight? "
Carlee's answer ..
Working out is AMAZING, I recommend doing it as much as you can. Even if you just go for a 30 min walk everyday you will feel alot better and jump start the weight loss even better. There isn't really a product out there that can help you lose weight unless you workout...they kind of go hand in hand. Drink lots of water and do some random fun activities like skating or swimming. I highly recommend working out especially if you have that lovely office job that 99% of the world has, and you are sitting all day. Just walking for a bit everyday can really help.
Michigan's answer ..
I didn't work out at all, just walking up and down the stairs at work and home and I am continually loosing weight.
Steph's answer ..
Honestly you if you want to really see the results you need to try and work out! If you dont have time for the gym then consider taking stairs instead of the elevator.... dont drive to work... walk to the bus and take the bus or better yet try ridding a bike to work! Go for walks after dinner to help aid in digestion of food and instead of cutting lots of unhealthy choices from your diet all at once (its overwhelming) try easing into it! Eat lots of small meals instead of big heavy meals... you don't need to go to a gym to lose weight... you just need to make small adjustments to your life style! (if you work in an office go for a walk on your lunch break)!!! Good luck!!!

" ... So I read everyones posts here, very interesting. My advice...cut down on the coffee if you are feeling far too jittery, or wait until your body is used to the caffeine in the pill before you start with the 5 cups a day thing. I felt the nausea that everyone is talking about, but I recommend ONLY taking them before a meal...lunch and dinner, so 2 or 3 before those two times or else if you aren't eating this is why you feel sick. Otherwise drink TONS of water. I know its hard to do in the winter but do your best.I haven't weighed myself yet, even though I seem to just stay and the same weight no matter what I eat...good bolism I guess. but hopefully by summer I will have lost 20-30 pounds. If I have that much, I'm only 150 and 5'6 or something but I have alot of muscles so we will see what this does! "

" ... To answer any questions about this product I have a few true answers for viewers. I am 5'4 and weigh 124 lbs. I do have flab and want a thin stomach for the summer. I started taking this 2 weeks ago and my first day I felt extremly sick to find out if you don't drink at least 4 bottles of water a day this pill will make you sick like I was, no vomiting just upset stomach. Also this pill when you first take it will make you poop a lot more than what is normal. I have been on this pill for 2 weeks and lost 3 lbs and being an already petite girl this shows a lot. This pill works but I reccomend on working out 4 days a week and at least 30 min of cardio. I did not experience any jitters or upset stomach other than my first day. I am sticking to the 1 pill in the morning one in the afternoon plan... the reccomended dose i believe is too much. Good luck to everyone and i hope everyone loses what they want for the summer!! "

" ... Has anyone tried the hydroxycut max advanced drink mix for women? I started it yesterday. While the recommended dose is two packs a day, I am only taking one in the morning. After drinking the mix yesterday as directed, I felt a small boost in energy short after but that feeling wore off an hour or so later and I felt very tired and fatigued for most of the day. I had one again this morning about two hours ago and I am feeling normal, no change in energy level. I would like to loose between 10 and 15 lbs. "

" ... I started taking the hydroxycut max advanced on March 27th and stopped taking it on May 19th. My total weight loss is 7lbs. It does give me lots of energy, no need for a nap. I am still hungry. My period is irregular and I get constipated. I lost alot of weight doing the special k challenge, it really works. I starteed this for an energy boost. I stopped taking this because the side effect I experienced is the left side of my face is weak. I can not get my left eye to close all the way unless I force it. When I went to my Dr. he asked me if I was taking preion pills, birth control, or diet pills. The only thing I take is a multi vitamin and HM. The other hydroxycuts got recalled...why not this one???

" ... Hi do allot of you feel like you should never have drank this stuff?
I just bought the pills at a GNC store but am thinking of taking them back due to reading some of these frightening reviews!... I don't know though. What do you women out there think?... I weigh 134 and want to get back to my regular weight has always been between 110 and 115... "
Dee's answer ..
I personally have not tried the drink, but the pills work well for me. I am on my second bottle. I don't necessarily take it for actual weight loss. I take it because it makes my workout more productive. I do weight training and cardio. It does help curb my appetite and gives me energy. i just can't take it after 2pm or I will be wide awake all night. I don't have any negative feedback about it thus far.

" ... I'm on my second bottle of HM and I have to say that my workouts are far more productive with it. I take 3 first thing in the morning with a protein shake then onto the gym and I feel great. It also curves my appetite up until at least 2hrs after my workouts which is good because I usually can't get to food until then. I eat less. The only thing I noticed that I have to be careful with is taking the afternoon dosage. If I take it after 2pm, I cannot sleep at night. I usually don't go to bed until 10pm but I'm still wide awake. So I'd say take it as early as possible if you're sensitive to stimulants. I have had no negative side effects what-so-ever and I have blood sugar problems. The biggest change I noticed is in my waist/tummy area. My waist has lost inches and my tummy is flatter now. I eat a very clean diet and drinks tons of water and workout about 4-5 days a week. I do a combination of weight/resistance/cardio training. This stuff works great, you just have to put some initiative into it. "
