Stacker 2, Hydroxycut, Xenadrine - did it work for you???

Stores are full of these supplements that claim to help you lose weight and have more energy. Magazines are full of ads for the products, showing people who used them and got ripped in just 6 weeks. Do any of these work??

I know they all contain ephedrine, which is probably way bad for you, and the best way to lose weight is with diet and exercise. No lectures here, please.

What I want to hear are commentaries from those of you who have tried any of these supplements and had success with them. Please feel free to share anything else you may have done in conjunction with taking the supplements (decreased food intake, exercised, etc).

Thanks in advance.
