What Vitamins do you take?

Ok I am 46 year old male. I have decided to go on a quest to lose weight.I have a goal of twenty pounds and expect about six months to get there so far I have lost eight pounds in three weeks. I do not think my next eight pounds will come as quickly. I have reduced my caloric intake and increased my fitness

I have reduced my calories and meat and increased my fruits and vegetables. I am not a saint so the diet modification is more like a guideline than a rule. I am not counting calories yet. I am not sure I will.

I am on a exercise program as well. I ride three to four times a week more than one hour at a pace that not many pass me up.(I have always rode but never on a schedule before now, I love to bike so this is not a problem) I am going to the gym to lift weights twice a week for about 40 minuets. I have a physical job

I am taking some vitamins but am not sure what would best suit me and my goals. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated

    you need to take a MENS multivitamin and some diet pills if thats ok with you .. id suggest alli or dexatrim or hydroxycut ... but if you use your diet as a guideline more then a rule id suggest alli just before desert or when ur gonna eat McDonald's or whatever... and i go to a gym and my trainer told me how because your sitting when you ride its harder to get you heart rate up and thats when you lose calories and it takes 10 minutes to start working...and theres a formula to find your target heart rate and thats when you burn the most fat ...so when you bike push yourself a little more and stay out a little longer... i mean if your gonna go to the corner store to get something try to use your bike and not drive
