Hi everyone, I am new to this site, as I see a lot of you are! I just ordered the apidexin pills today and I am nervous; not so much for the side affects but the prospect of it doing nothing. I am only 22, admittedly young for a diet supplement, but have been at a plateau with my weight for five years now. When I was in middle and high school I was a size 14 but did not realize it (thank you to wonderful and loving parents) however around the age of 16 I altered my eating habits (less pasta and more veggies). I did not lose very much weight but lost a shocking amount of fat off my body. I have always been active (I am an ex-dancer and current yoga practicer who joggs) but over the past five years no matter how much more exercise or how much healthier I eat I have remained exactly the same as far as weight and size. I recently moved to France where I walk at least 6 miles a day just to get around, but still - no change. I am crossing my fingers that this will be that little extra boost needed to get me past the plateau and help me lose the not-too-much-to-ask-for 20 leftover pounds! There is nothing more frustrating than building muscle mass and probably what are pretty kickin abbs by now, but having it be hidden by layers of not so desireable fat :(
Does a goal of 10 pounds by Christmas sound rediculous?

Sadly I think you may be disappointed if you rely on these tabs. Its a matter of self control and exercise. If you are walking that many miles a day!! and not losing any weight at all, then may be you need to speak to a doctor about it. Perhaps there is some other reason.
Good luck.

| Do you just 'eat healthier' or do you also count your calories? (it doesn't actually matter whether you count your calories or not, they will affect your weight either way). If you do, how many do you eat? how tall are you and what is your current weight?

I counted calories before, but I find it tedious. I eat between 1100 and 1400 a day as it is (lower than 1100 starts to be considered too drastic). I'm pretty lucky because when I get cravings it's usually for things like zucchini or cucumbers, but unfortunately my metabolism seems to be pretty slow. I'm 5'5" and 145, interestingly enough I'm now a size 6 but only 10 pounds lighter than when I was a size 14. For me, weight means almost nothing, it's really what my body is made up of. I've got a good amount of muscle but it's all surrounded by fist fulls (sorry for the graphic) of, what I like to call "goo" to keep away from too negative terms. I'm blessed (sarcasm) with a very small bone structure which helps to emphasize anything excess.
I'm pretty much at the point where I would like to look on the outside the way I feel on the inside and I am at a loss for boosting my body to make the final push. I would love to stay the same size but finally replace the goo with muscle instead of just building it underneath. It's frustrating to feel like a Brazilian beach babe but look like a dumpy girl with hard core cuisses américaines (the French word for thunder thighs - translation - American thighs.....)

Well, we are all slaves to our genetic make up arent we? If you are a small size anyway and you are doing toning exercises with no joy, you may have to accept your body as it is and rejoice that you are healthy enough to do all this walking and exercise.

That may be something of your own making! your unadjusted RMR (female, 22, 5'5", 145lb) works out at 1419. As a person with a 'normal' BMI you should be eating no less than this number (1419) yes you're saying you consistently eat less, so no wonder (see What It Takes to Lose It All ).
Calorie counting may be tedious, but I know of no other way to ensure I don't eat too few or too many calories.
I am currently on a slow weight-gain program, my maintenance calories are approximately 2000 calories and I am eating 2125 calories in the hope of gaining 1lb per month. I'm also 5'5", currently 114lb. Depending on what food I'm into on any given day I would naturally tend to either overshoot or undershoot my target by quite a bit - I cannot trust myself to naturally hit a target any more than I can hit a physical one whilst wearing a blindfold

Hello,
I have just ordered these pills yesterday and am waiting for them to be delivered to Canada. Hopefully it doesn't take a long time. I've used the Hydroxycut before and did sometimes get jitters, so I'm considering just doing one pill in the morning and a half pill in the afternoon. Is that possible? Can you cut the pills?

Hi, everyone. I just registered to give my feedback on Apidexin.
I just started it today. I am 5'10" and 161.2 pounds - 20 of the pounds gained in the last year due to illness and metabolism changes. I was anorexic for 6 years (11-17 years old) and, since I voluntarily went into outpatient treatment, I have not been able to make myself work out without kind of getting back into that "mindset".
I am 20 years old and decided to try Apidexin to jump start my weight loss to get me back to a weight that I am comfortable with and is ideal for my height and body type (between 135 and 140) - with the supervision of my fiance, of course. Hopefully, I will reach my ideal weight and can start working out just to maintain it.
After taking the first pill (and the first round of the detox pills that come with it), I felt kind of nauseous and "floaty", but it immediately went away after I ate breakfast. I took the second round of pills about 3 hours later - 30 minutes before lunch, and, four hours later, I feel HORRIBLE. I normally am freezing cold, especially in my house (we use a wood-burning stove as a heating source so the house stays pretty cool all winter), but feel like I am menopausal or something. The house is around 60 degrees and I am sweating in just a t-shirt and sweatpants.
I also feel kind of nauseous and "floaty" - though the nausea is mostly gone now after 4 hours. I have a feeling that the nausea and floaty feeling are due to taking the pills so close together, so tomorrow I will take them further apart.
I will keep everyone updated on it. Also, please don't respond saying negative things.

I am about to order some Apidexin now. I originally weighed 260lbs but lost 28lbs in less then a month with a strict diet and an hour exercise a day.
I took a "weekend" off my diet because i went to the Sonisphere rock festival and when i came back i tried geting back in my diet. It never happened again.
No matter how hard i tried, i could not get back in my diet. I hope these pills work cause i really need something to get me going.
I don't care for advice... i just wanted to do my first post on a internet forum ever!

Hello I'm from Australia and have just received Apidexin from Canada (took about a week and a half). Took my first pill this morning. I dont feel any different really, maybe a little bit jittery but nothing that will affect my normal working day.
I also don't feel as hungry as I generally do at 12noon which is when i usually eat lunch.
I've decided to take 1 a day because I'm not really looking for instant results.
I'm not overweight, I'm hoping to lose about 5-10 pounds before a summer trip away. I go to the gym most days and have trimmed down but just using Apidexin to lose the extra I can't seem to get rid of!
Also I have the detox pills - do they make you go to the toilet a lot?? Just don't know whether to take them on a work day?

Ok so I haven't done very well. i had a wedding this weekend and decided to stop taking the pill. It has been exactly a week since I took my very first one. I'm going to take another one before lunch today and then start going for the next couple of weeks.
Will keep you posted.

This is my 4th day and I haven't noticed a lot of results so far!
I think i might have lost half a kilo but nothing noticable.
It has been ok for the last three days but today I feel really sick. I'm not sleeping well (although my partner has been away so maybe thats why) When I take the pill, I then feel sick until I eat something. I don't feel hungry but i know my tummy needs food.
I'm also feeling dizzy. Maybe i'm thinking about it too much! I'm not usually one to complain but this is getting a bit scary!!
Also this question is for zsanett.... how did you end up going? I'm in the same boat as you, does apidexin work if you are not overweight???

Heavy! You started taking Apidexin again, too? Me too! I finished my bottle about a week ago. It definitely went along better than last time! I lost the 5lbs that I had gained during the Summer plus another 5! :]
I skimmed through some of the posts and I was wondering why people haven't lost any weight...there has to be a reason... Well, anyways, I like Apidexin. Even though I can't lose like 20 lbs in a day...10 in a month is good enough for me. :] down to 150!
