    no absolutely not. Taking any anabolic of any kind would almost definitely cause you serious harm.
    The only thing that will provide results will be a lifestyle change of diet and a exercise program.
    Stick with it and you will see results.
    There is a diet section in this forum, look at some of the diets people post and use them as a guideline to create a diet for your needs.
    glad to see you decided to address your weight problem..don't give up...

    2 weeks is nothing in the larger scheme of weight loss. Give your diet and cardio chance to work. Don't give up at the first hurdle and don't think steroids will do the work for you

    2 Weeks is not really enough time to judge yet but nutrition is what will dictate the cut not the compounds you are running.

    Lmao...2 weeks, I have more time taking dumps last yr alone.
    Seriously man give it a chance it takes months and months and a life commitment not to eat every candy bar in site....once you have your mind right it's a piece of "cake" so to speak.
    "cake" is your subliminal word to go jog, now get out there.

    Hi and glad you ask before you start to ruin your body and life. First you are way to young. Second all the other members told you, and please get real, 2 wks huh? I wouldn't touch that one. But not to get on you they said diet, diet and some consistent hard workouts. All of us are spending years to get where we want. It takes a lot of time. Read the sticky's , read and read, and learn before you make that move. Good Luck .....crazy mike

    All of the above members' posts are right; steroids really won't help you in your situation. Two weeks is nothing; fitness is a lifetime commitment to maintain. Anavar is not going to help you reach your goals, it will only cause damage to your body.

    If you think drugs are what you need, i'd suggest visiting your doctor and having a full thyroid panel done. If you're hypothyroid (low thyroid function = low metabolism), then you could potentially benefit from medication. It's not a weight loss drug by any means in clinically prescribed dosages, but if you're hypo, losing weight is going to be much harder, and would also explain why you have so much to lose. (Unless of course your eating habits consist of mcdonalds, candy bars, soda, pizza, and cake on a regular basis....then it's just a matter of learning how to eat properly)

    I'm glad you decided to take steps towards fixing your weight issue, it's a difficult road to start walking down. All I can tell you is that the longer you are on it, the easier it gets. Keep your chin up, and don't get discouraged by not seeing results in two weeks. Nothing sustainable will happen overnight.

    Good luck!

    I think you need to invest a little more time than two weeks before you should expect to see results.

    Keep up with the diet/cardio/strength training. come back in three months and tell us your success story with out having to use drugs!

    It's only been two weeks. You didn't become over weight by night nor will you lose weight overnight. It takes time.


    Yes anavar is great, but 100% not recommended yet.

    A whole 2 weeks bro as in 14 days? Bro it took you years to get the way you are now.And sad to say it isnt going to be a fast trip back.I know I made the trip and it wouldve been a lot shorter if I hit the diet section earlier.There are no magic pills and aas isnt a diet aid.So I will tell you wat my friends told me.Get ur fat butt down the road.That is the only thing that works.Good luck.

    Your body's fat cells produce an enzyme that increase estrogen levels. The more body fat you have the higher your estrogen levels are naturally. Using AAS increases your estrogen levels (hence the need for an AI). So it's very difficult to control the estrogen levels if you're carrying excessive body fat as its also producing estrogen. This equates to more severe side effects.

    But I dont think Anavar produces estrogen

    Yes, it aromatizes into estrogen.

    The fact that you don't know that tells me you don't understand the absolute basics of using AAS and shouldn't use them.

    It's difficult at first but the more you go the more your body gets used to working and eventually it will become a habit. You don't need aas. Your on the right path now. 4 years ago I lost 40lbs of fat through just diet and exercise. Now I sit at 210lbs@ 10%body fat. Just stay focused on your goal. Find motivation because these things will help you.

    Okay, let's lay out your knowledge base here (from what you've told us);

    1. You've been training for 2 WEEKS and you want to run gear. This means you understand next to nothing about proper diet or exercise.

    2. You made no mention of running even a small dose of testosterone along with the anavar . Test is THE BASE OF ALL CYCLES. All AAS shut down your natural testosterone production. You have to counter this by running exogenous testosterone.

    3. You haven't talked about using hCG . You'll need it to keep your nuts from crawling up into your abdomen.

    4. You haven't mentioned any PCT protocols to get your HPTA back on track.

    So, here's what will happen if you run gear; you won't get anything out of it because you know nothing of diet and exercise and you'll phuck up your HPTA beyond belief and end up with all kinds of issues. You'll end up fatter, depressed, anxious with little to no libido assuming your package even works anymore.

    First of all dont be a dick am trying to get information. Second I obiously know I have to run a PCT I thought that was impiled and from all the things ive read running anavar standalone is fine cause its not a androgenic and cardio and working out would burn fat and build muscle, and these last 2 weeks have seen no results ive been working out and dieting for a couple months and current diet plan I am on 6-7 meals a day consiting of low calorie intake and low fat, ive lost around 25 pounds my diet is set my workout plan is set I am looking for a boost

    Bottom line; given your situation and stats, you're only going to get one piece of advice from people on this board: DON'T USE AAS.

    Get your BF down to 15% and then make sure you have your diet and training dialed in.

    At 15%, you'll be able to do a proper cycle which will get you real results without the higher risk of side effects. You really, really need to understand how your body responds to diet and exercise before you mess with AAS because it'll make or break your results. I have seen guys piss away hundreds of dollars (whiling taking health risks) by not training or eating properly on a cycle.

    I was competing in natural bodybuilding shows at 19 years old (I was 5'10'', 185lbs, 6% BF) and it still took me quite a few years afterward to figure things out.
