anyone here use xenadrine?

okay kiddies... it's pretty much summer time and that means beach...

over the fall, winter, and spring, i've gained like 20 pounds.... i run a lot at work probably up to 2 miles everytime i go and i still noticed that i haven't really lost any weight or i just put on more pounds....

i want to look a lil bit leaner for the summer and i was thinking of using xenadrine to shed the extra pounds... has anyone here ever used it?? have you had any negative side effects?? if it worked, how much have you lost and how long did it take??

i should consider taking it...107 lbs is just too fat!

haha. erm, i'm like BLKCIV01; i'm trying to gain, though it's not working too well (and i wouldn't use too much creatine, man; it hasn't been around long enough to know about any problems that might come up)

i just heard on the news this morning that some baseball guy or something died cuz he used this stuff....and that some ppl have already sued xenadrine, and won. i don't think i would use it, unless it was the ephedra (sp) free kind. i know that they have it, its called like xenadrine rfx, or something like that. cuz what ephedra is, is basically just speed....

edit: i use hydroxy cut...its almost the same, only ephedra free, and it works w/o the shakes and the hyperness.

try to take it before you work out. That is what I do and I have lost like 20 pounds in like 3 months. It some good ****. If you take it before you work out you take all the hyperness and **** to the gym and it makes you work out even harder

naw... tweak isn't my thing... i mean.. the amped feeling is okay, but not for 5 days straight... lol

my cousin told me that it just gets the heart rate up so when you work out, it causes fat to burn quicker...

gym is hardly cheaper.... gym member ships are pricey... i have my own gym at home so i was thinking of using it and working out at the same time.... it'll keep my heart rate up while i work out so it'll burn fat quicker...

natural takes hella long time to do... i've tried a protein diet one time... i always felt hungry and tired... of course i'd cut down on my food intake but not as bad as the protein diet...

plus i'm trying to get fit for summer.... chances are when i'm not at work, my shirt will be off most of the time... i'm not trying to blind people or put them in awe... i just want a nice tone me like i used to be...

believe it or not... running is just a faster way to get somewhere... since you're covering the same distance, you're burning about the same number of calories running as you are walking...

I think Joo is talking about using Xenadrine as a supplement to his weight loss plan. Sounds like a plan, Im on that like white on rice. Time to go pick up some.

There is now Xenadrine EFX which does not have ephedrine, but green tea extracts which has been proven to help in weight loss. Thats why chinese people are so skinny and lean. Anyway took it for a month and lost 2 lbs I think. I stopped taking it and lost 12 lbs the month after. I'm in the military and very active, and was even more active during last summer when I was taking it due to summer training. In my opinion this stuff is just a waste of money. If you're running 2 miles a day and not losing any weight, you either one have the worlds slowest metabolism, or you need to change your diet. Proper diet and exercise are the way to go. Don't ever use anything with a ephedrine in it: Horrible stuff. I thought I was going to have a heart attack a couple of times when I was taking Rip Fuel a couple of years back.

Its not so much about food intake, but more about food quality. Eat right, and with good proportions, and with excercise you'll be fit in not time. I've been doing an intensive workout plan for the last 2 weeks, and I've already lost about 5lbs and am seeing a lot more definition in my chest and abs, and am not doing any weight training. Just good old Army pushups, situps, and other upper body exercises along with a lot of running and I'm seeing noticable results in less than 2 weeks. If you want to know some good basic workouts just let me know. I guarantee you'll lose at least 10lbs healthily and not water weight in a month if you do what I'm doing.

ya just cause you starve yourself doesnt mean your going to get skinny. and the pills ya they give you instant gratification but your going to gain those right back... sure natural way out takes awhile but atleast the results last
