Which Dietary Supplement can i use?

I am mother to 7 month old boy so i am limited to working out from home only. I do 30-35 dancing 5 days a week and started doing strength training floor exercises, occasionally i get lucky and find time to go to gym. My diet is portion controlled and i eat 4-5 times a day. My problem is slow weight loss or none at all, in last 2 months, i have only lost 5 lbs all together. I work my butt off and i m frustrated. I am thinking of including weight loss supplements in my day like Hydroxycut or Ali. What do you think is the effective pill in market, i have wedding to attend in less than a month and have 15 lbs that are stuck on me.... even little more weight loss would help. In ladt two weeks, scale hasnt moved at all. i need help.

    Simple answer? None.

    Your question makes no sense, anyway. You say you're limited to working out at home only and then you say you've been going to the gym. Which is it? Most gyms have creches, why can't you find one that does and leave him there whilst you workout?

    You take Alli and you'll spend all day living in the loo, my girl.

    There's a reason you've only lost 5lb in two months - you're lazy, you have no willpower, commitment, discipline or dedication.

    When I first started on my regime, I lost 2 stone in 2 months - AND I HARDLY EXERCISED AT ALL!! I have a disability which means that I can't do too much.

    Did I pop pills? No, I did not because I have a brain in my head and enough common-sense to know that NO pill would allow me to carry on with my current lifestyle (well current as it was then) and cause weight-loss.

    I did it via the only method GUARANTEED to work, 100% of the time - I simply reduced my calorie intake. These days I live on 650-900kcals/day, no bother at all.

    The only pounds you'll lose will be from your bank account, darlin'. Hydroxycut is dangerous and has been linked to liver damage.

    Look, this was me a year ago <http://s293.photobucket.com/albums/mm75/Shrinking_... and I'd lost about 8st then, and this is me today <http://s293.photobucket.com/albums/mm75/Shrinking_... (sorry it's a bit crap, was taken with webcam as I've had my camera stolen).

    If *I* can do it, why can't you...?

    A Brief History Of Dietary Supplements The use of herbs and animal glands as medicines dates back to the origins of civilized man. The earliest known written records of herbal medicines were inscribed on six-thousand-year-old clay tablets written by the Sumerians, who lived on the banks of the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers in what is now Iraq. The tablets showed use of many medicinal plants including opium poppy, thyme, licorice and mustard plant. Moreover, the Asian cultures, particularly in the Sichuan province of China, have a long recorded history of herbal use dating back more than three thousand years. The United States has a much shorter history of medicinal herbal use. Native American Indians and early European settlers certainly used herbs and glands as medicines, but not to the extent of the Asians. And although several important drugs are derived from herbs, notably Aspirin from the Willow Bark tree, and Digoxin, a potent heart drug, from the Digitalis plant, most Americans shy away from herbal preparations when synthetic ones are available. However, it is interesting to note that the use of herbs and alternative medicines is more popular in the United States now than ever before. But there remains a vast gap in our knowledge about which constituents in a particular herb are the active ones. Even when scientists know what active substthe ances are, critics say that because whole plants act in synergy, it is fruitless to try and isolate the active ingredients. Moreover, the legal history of dietary supplements in the United States is a long and twisted tale. Prior to 1990, all dietary supplements were tightly regulated by the FDA and only included essential nutrients such as vitamins, minerals and proteins. In 1990, the Nutrition Labeling and Education Act expanded the category to include "herbs or similar nutritional substances," but the FDA maintained control over pre-market approval. However, in 1994, a law was passed that drastically changed the dietary supplement marketplace. That law is the landmark Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act (DSHEA), and it expanded the category of dietary supplements further to include substances such as: "Ginseng, fish oils, enzymes, glandular products such as hormones and steroids, and mixtures of these." More important to the consumer, DSHEA also removed much of the FDA's control over dietary supplements and created what is considered by many health officials to be a virtually unregulated industry. There is no law to prevent you from chopping up some potent herbs, putting them in a bottle, and making claims for those herb's effects. All that is necessary is to send a letter to the FDA stating that you don't "expect any negative side effects from the product." The FDA has no authority to deny your product entry into the marketplace
