I have three steps to help me lose the weight and get to my goal. Well when I started this I weighed 225lbs. I am down to 218lbs. This was only just by eating smaller amounts and eating healthier foods. My only big problem is that I was raised that if there is food on your plate you need to finish it. Which leads me to over eat alot. I have been doing good, but I always get cravings. My goal is 180lbs.
Step 1
Eat smaller amounts of food and eat more frequently (i normally eat 2 times a day. I will start trying to eat 4-5 times with smaller amounts). Eat healthier too.
Step 2
So as of yesterday I bought some Hydroxycut to give it a shot and see what it can do. 1st thing is DO NOT TAKE THESE AT NIGHT or probably even after 2:00. I took two last night at around 7:30. Felt the full effects by 8:00. The effects were like doing a line of coke. I got really really hyper, jittery, and my heart rate increased. Not really what I was looking for, but I am going to continue taking them to see if it does better. I also could not fall asleep until 1:30 and woke up this morning at 5:30.
This is really what I was looking for when I made this thread about supplements. My goal was not to just sit on my ass and take a pill and hope that it drops my weight. I wanted something to supress my hunger, and something that was going to give me a extra boost of energy. Which the hydroxycut did give me engery.
Step 3
Cardio
I woke up this moring early and decided after 1hr of not being able to fall asleep that I was going to do something about it. I went out and jogged/walked 2miles. About 50-50. I am really out of shape and want to accomplish running the full 2 miles.
