Hello,
Thank you for taking the time to read this post.
I am currently a sophomore at Suffolk University in Boston. I have already been in contact with an officer selection officer. I vaguely questioned him about the use of supplements in the Marine Corps.
At the beginning of this summer, I was 6 feet, 250 pounds. I was not huge, but had a ton of weight to lose. Over the summer, and into this school year, I dieted and exercised everyday. Early into this routine, weight started to shed quickly. After that, I have seemed to plateau. In total I have gone from 250 pounds to 220 pounds. All of my PFT scores have slightly gone up but I am not where I would like to be at this point in time.
I do not think I will physically be able to achieve the scores needed to apply to OCS for this coming summer. I am hoping to apply and be accepted for the summer of 2015.
My question is if experienced and fit men and women like yourselves have had any experiences, or insight, on the use of weight loss supplements. Currently I am looking into Super HD by Cellucor. From trusted family members and close friends, I have heard good reviews about the product. I was also told by my OSO that if it is legal, safe, and sold at GNC, then there should be no issue using it.
I have researched the product for a while now and it seems to be safe.
That being said, any ideas or comments are welcome. I'd just like to hear from a few more people before I waste time, money, or anything of that matter.
Thank you in advance.
PS. I searched for something of this topic in the forums for a while and never saw it. Sorry if something like it already exists.
