    Greetings Everyone-

    On July 1st I started a 28 day log using the 12 Hour Diet pills. This is my first post/update but I will update more frequently from this point on.

    I am 46, 5'11, 245lbs with a bf% in the mid teens (15-17%). I usually do 2 full body workouts per week with weights and bike 1-3 times per week depending on my schedule/weather/etc.

    STARTING STATS
    -July 1st (starting weight) 245.5
    -July 6th (today) 242.5

    I'm only taking 1 pill per day, usually between 6-6:30am.

    -WHAT I'VE NOTICED-
    -It zaps my appetite for a good 10-12 hours.
    -No crash experienced late in the day
    -My body temp heats up, that I can tell. I'm sweating a lot more when doing activities/working out. It doesn't take much for me to sweat to begin with (I sweat watching people workout) and this just cranks it up another level or two.
    -I'm thirsty!!! This certainly seems to have a diuretic effect on me and if I'm working out or outside being active, I can't seem to drink enough.
    -Mood has been good. I don't feel on edge or short tempered and my focus has been good too.
    -I checked my blood pressure 2 days ago and it was 124/74 right where it normally is. This was taken around 2pm, so about 8 hours after taking this.

    I will continue to run this for another 3+ weeks at one pill per day. I still have a couple cups of coffee during the day and I haven't noticed anything negative as a result. I'm gonna try to keep my calories at 2500 or less per day and I'd like to see if I can get back into the high 230s by the end of this log. Thus far, I'm pleased with the results.

    Let me know if you have any questions, thanks for following! :cool:

    Another solid day. I was able to keep my diet in check at work all day and my focus/energy was outstanding. I hit the gym after work and had a solid workout. I wasn't quite as thirsty today but I also wasn't outside working or golfing, which I was last time when I couldn't quite seem to quench my thirst. Body temp certainly is elevated throughout the day!

    After dinner, I did fall asleep for a short "power" nap (15 minutes). This was 12 hours after I took my initial dose of SX2. I wouldn't really call it a crash but I did nod out.

    1 Cap seems to be doing the trick for me and it also allows me to drink a couple cups of coffee during the day.

    1 week Update:
    -July 1st (starting weight) 245.5
    -July 8th (today) 241.5

    Down 4lbs from a week ago. I'm sure some of it is water weight but not all of it. My weight can change daily, ranging anywhere from 243-247 depending on what I ate and how much fluid I was retaining. After starting this, I dropped from 245.5 to 243.5 almost immediately and haven't bounced back up like I normally do.

    Still loving the focus & energy I have everyday. Sticking with 1 cap and no issues sleeping. I also had to visit the eye Dr. yesterday who took my blood pressure and it's where it normally is, 120/78, so no negative effects there.

    Very happy with the product & results thus far! ;)

    July 13th- Day 12. Weight continues to stick in the low 240s. My body seems to have adjusted to 1 cap a day and I think I could up it to 2 but I'd I'm afraid I'd sweat way too much. The energy & focus continue to be good and my hunger stays in check for breakfast & lunch. I am pretty hungry when dinner rolls around though! Sleep is good, mood is positive, thumbs up thus far!

    17 days in and I'm down 5lbs. I've doubled up on a couple of days to see how I feel and it works very well, maybe too well (I didn't want to eat). 1 pill a day seems to be the sweet spot for me. My Mood & Energy are great and I certainly don't over eat. Love it thus far! -Ed

    A couple of observations: I had my allergy shots yesterday (once a month) and I normally blow up afterward, usually 5-7lbs of water weight for a few days. This time only 2lbs. Also, I've noticed the past 3 days that about 9 hours after taking the cap, I'm ready for a nap. It's not a hard crash I'm experiencing, but I've zonked out for a quick nap.

    WRAP-UP:
    I used this for 3.5 weeks. I doubled up on a couple of days. Final Observations:
    Weight: lost 5.5lbs
    Mood: Outstanding, it was a nice little pick me up every I took them.
    Energy: Very good! Workouts were solid!
    Appetite: Kept it in check with 1 pill. Killed it with 2.
    Water: I drank a lot of water. Some days it seemed like I couldn't quench my thirst.
    Sleep: Never experienced a hard crash when it wore off (8 hours usually for me) and didn't have issues trying to go to sleep at night.

    Thoughts: I really like this product. I felt great, I wasn't always hungry and my energy was good for 8-9 hours. The only negatives I could come up with are: I sweat like a pig when I took these. I run hot to begin with, it's summer with very warm/humid weather and these pills took it up a notch! Probably would work better for me in the winter when it's cold. Slight downtick in libido. Weather related? I don't know and not really a big issue for me, just something I noticed.

    This is a very good product and certainly something I will buy when it becomes available.
