It seems though that some of the other ones went untouched..... And it is funny I got the same ad below when I read :)

They can make billions upon billions of dollars off of it and be fined chump changed down the road for doing it. Am I reading this right? Sounds like I have an idea for Global warming...I don't know what it is...but apparently I don't need to.

Ravenbeauty Posts: 3,755 Joined: 2002/09/24	2007/01/09, 03:05 PM because it is a supplement that people do use. A lot of us however, don't agree with some of the supplements out there. -------------- Bettia To be motivated, motivate others!
conan_0822 Posts: 441 Joined: 2006/11/23	2007/01/10, 11:17 AM I understand Raven, it just struck me as odd that Hydroxycut was getting hammered on here but was listed on the site. I am trying it now simply because it was listed here. Only been 3 days so I'll get back to ya later on if it did anything for me!!
bb1fit Posts: 11,105 Joined: 2001/06/30	2007/01/10, 11:19 AM Well, supplement companies 'foot much of the bill' so to speak for financial undertakings such as magazines, etc. Someone has to 'pay the bills'. -------------- "If it ain't broke, you aren't trying."
conan_0822 Posts: 441 Joined: 2006/11/23	2007/01/12, 09:19 AM I got that part bb1, but I only bought it because I have come to trust this site and the advice given here (for the most part). Oh well, if it gives me an energy boost for a few weeks then it'll be OK. Next time I'll look a little deeper before I buy a supplement.
Ravenbeauty Posts: 3,755 Joined: 2002/09/24	2007/01/12, 04:50 PM It will take a lot longer than a few days to see the progress of it if you are taking it. Most people never see results because of impatience and not being consistent in following the directions properly. Let me know...I am curious as how it will work. -------------- Bettia To be motivated, motivate others!
	2007/05/03, 06:53 AM I am finding my appetite is increased after taking Hydroxycut, however its supposed to have suppressant like effects. I've been on it about 2 weeks or so. No weight loss yet....
