I am a 22 year old physically fit ex-athlete. I have lost weight successful more than once but no matter how hard I try my legs still carry all my weight and FAT! My upper body is skinny as a board. I would give anything to lower the girth of my thighs. Thus recently I have though about investing in ephedra free hydroxycut. My worst fear is that I would over work my heart or worse yet have a heart attack. I do not have any heart issues that I am aware of but my mother has had 1. a stroke (while on Birth control) *I am also currently on Nuvaring* 2. mitro-valve prolapse and 3. Atrial Fib. Granted she is extremely unhealthy. Me on the other hand has a blood pressure near perfect. What I'm really looking for is a yay or nay and a reason towards the hydroxycut or a better way to get rid of these thighs! Can you help!?
