I took them for about 2 weeks and they did nothing!! I wouldn’t recommend taking them they are a waste of time and money!! Good luck!!
A complete waste of time is you ask me, like all diet pills.
Eat well, exercise reguarly and drink plenty of water, it’s the fool proof way to loose weight healthly.
I haven’t taken hoodia for weight loss myself, but I have spent over a year researching it as part of my business. I don’t know how familiar you are with hoodia, but it only has the potential to do one thing – suppress appetite.
Despite the marketing hype surrounding hoodia diet pills, they are not a magic weight loss pill. In fact, if you are looking for a rapid weight loss solution (or an easy weight loss solution) then hoodia isn’t for you. Hoodia works on the caloric intake principle – that the fewer calories you consume, the less fat your body will store. Thus, keeping your weight down.
Hoodia tricks the brain into thinking you are full. The idea behind hoodia diet pills is that if you feel full, you’ll eat less (consume fewer calories). Thus, you’ll lose weight. The process takes time as the body still needs to do the heavy lifting in terms of burning fat. In addition, you still need to maintain a healthy diet and ideally exercise to see real weight loss results. In other words, if you just take hoodia and make no other changes in your lifestyle, you will not experience any long term permanent weight loss.
Having said all that, if you are considering hoodia as an effective appetite suppressant, be sure you look for a real product as most on the market today are fake. There are several things to look for when buying hoodia but the two most important things are CITES certificates and independent lab tests. You can read about the 11 other things to look for by reading this article:

As for real world results of taking hoodia, here are links to a couple different articles about real-life hoodia success stories. As you’ll see by reading them, it can be an effective weight loss aid and for those people who have found hoodia successful, they average about 2 pounds of weight loss per week.

Best of luck to you.

Hoodia really helped me eat less and have better control over bad food choices, especially sweets. Also got me in the habit of eating smaller portions.
The only problem with Hoodia is making sure you get the real stuff. You have to know where to look. You want to make sure you get "pure hoodia" not an extract. Get a pure hoodia brand that has C.I.T.E.S. certification. You also need to make sure you get 750 mg. to 1000 mg. per pill. They usually don’t put enough Hoodia in these big chain store brands to do much of anything. To find the best Hoodia I always recommend Totalink’s unbiased Hoodia comparison at http://64.233.167.104/search?q=cache:ZE_Z_dJZRBwJ:hoodiagordonii.totalink.com/hoodia_comparison.html+http://hoodiagordonii.totalink.com/hoodia_comparison.html&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=1&gl=us&client=firefox-a
Hope this helps, if you want to know more about Hoodia I have written a lot of articles on it. Just search Yahoo or Google under my name “Andrew Aitaken” to find them.
Remember, you should always consult your physician before taking any diet pill or weight loss supplement.
With Hoodia I lost 4 lbs the first week! After a month, I’m down 13Lbs!
Personally, I think 100% Hoodia in tablets is best!
Check with your doctor before starting any weight loss program.
The problem w/Hoodia is 90%+ are scams. The real Hoodia is expensive and only the one imported from S.Africa has been shown to work. Many people go for the low cost scam Hoodia and have no results!
**** VERY IMPORTANT NOT TO GET RIPPED OFF —
#1. Be sure you are buying pure Hoodia…look for the import certificate on the website. No matter the price, if they do not display this, you really do NOT know what you are getting!
#2. Be sure it is 100% Hoodia & not mixed w/other herbs, etc.!!
#3. Keep in mind it stops your hunger pangs…you MUST remember to break your habit to always eat at certain times.
#4. Drink a full 8oz. glass of water with it!
