2 questions. Insanity and hydroxicut

OK, wedding is in 3.5 months. I have lost 35 lbs and I am super excited about it. I really want to lose 20 more. I know there is no way i will be able to do it before the wedding, but even if I could lose 10 more I would be happy. My FI ordered us Insanity and we are going to do for 60 days. I hope that will help me lose some more inches. Has anyone done it? I am an athlete so I don't think it is going to be out of my ability.

Also, I know most people are against it, but has anyone tried hydroxicut? (SP??) I want to try it. Just wandering what people think of it??

Re: 2 questions. Insanity and hydroxicut

  • As a previous weight loss looney, I tried many things in search for the magic pill.  Hydroxycut is the equivilent of a multivitamin with a high dose caffeine additive.  No good.  just a flat out waste of money.  Do yourself a favor, just take a multivitamin with a fruit/veggie smoothie every morning and you'll pretty much get the same effect more  naturally.

    insanity is great!  It sucks at the beginning though (major asskick!) but just keep working through it doing it as close to 100% as you can muster and it's a really great workout.  

    Don't forget your eating though.  35lbs loss is GREAT.  Congratulations!  Keep up the good work, watch your intake of calories (you may need to recalculate your daily for the new slimmer you) and i think you should definitely be able to get those 10 lbs gone and maybe closer to your goal.
  • Hydroxocit is awful. I tried it and it makes you incredibly jittery, I was sick to my sotmach, and if I tried t oworkout on it I threw up. Additionally I took it at 4 pm and could not fall asleep for the rest of the night.

    Insanity is awesome and like Anna said recalculate your eating, and congrats on the 35 lb drop :D

  • Please please please don't use Hydroxycut....it is NO good.  People don't understand the last impression caffiene has on your body.  Increased does of caffeine can lead to infertility, high blood pressure and more.  Taking weight off in a healthy manner does not come from a pill, it comes from hard work and eating right (which you obviously can do given your weight loss).  I say stick to insanity or any HIIT program and track your food...the weight will come off.  But please don't take the pill.

    Agreed! Pills will make you lose weight, but that weight could be water, fat or even muscle weight! SO not healthy! Think about your long-term health and change your life style to be healthier. There is more to it than the number on the scale.

  • I love insanity!  The only thing is I can't do it everyday like your suppose to.  It's a crazy workout, and will deff make you sweat.
  • Hydroxycut = no good!! I tried it for 2 days. On day 1, I thought that the upset stomach and jittery feelings were me so I went on with a 2nd day thinking that it might get better. Nope! I gave it to someone else and they threw it out because it happened to them too. It's a waste of money. If you're desperate to get on some sort of pill, I'd go to Alli, if you don't mind the oily messes and frequent trips to the bathroom...

    Insanity is great! It got my heart rate up in the first 5 minutes and kicked my butt in the end! I love it! Just make sure you drink lots of water before. I made that mistake and had to stop a few times to chug!

  • Doing insanity right now and I LOVE IT! It will kick your booty but totally worth it! I've only been doing it for 2 weeks so far and I already am starting to look leaner and I feel stronger and have more energy every day.
