10 day hoodia, green tea fat burner, etc; is it safe for a 17 year old female?

i just put on about 10 "holiday pounds" and i want to lose it asap. i was planning to reduce my calorie intake and go on the treadmill for about 1 hour on the highest incline at a 3.0 speed on weekdays and 2 hours [1hr morning/1hr night] on the weekends.

but i wanted to try those dietary supplements like 10-day hoodia or the green tea fat burner liquigels. but are they safe and effective.?

currently about 125 lbs.
want to get back to the 118-115lb range.
17 years old.
5'5"

i used the green tea fat burner briefly last summer, but my mom freaked out and said i would be addicted to diet pills, so i stopped using them. i did have some success in the brief time that i tried them, but i was eating better, working out a lot, and drinking tons of water, so i don't know which factors contributed most to my weight loss. (i lost about 10 poounds or so in a few weeks, and i only took one liquigel in the morning and one in the afternoon instead of two.) if you want to give it a try, go for it, i don't think either are very expensive, and if you look up their ingredients online
(appliednutrition.com) they seem pretty harmless. however, i don't believe you can purchase them unless you're 18, so your mom has to approve of it and buy them for you. i think i'm going to try those again (i also put on some weght over the holidays, even though i was already 30 or so pounds overweight) and see what happens myself.

safe, but not effective.

Hoodia, in sufficient quantities, kills appetite. But it cant be commercially grown outside of south africa. So big business has raped SA for the Hoodia that the indigenous relied on to kill hunger, and the supplies are not enough for Western man. Consequently, whatever they put Hoodia in, it isnt enough Hoodia.

And green tea. that Wu-Long stuff - or whatever it is - just plain doenst work.

I got some I'll sell ya lol.

I'm 16, 5'7" and 140. I tried the green tea hoodie stuff, and trim spa, but it only made me dizzy and even more hungry.
So I don't suggest using the pills.
Instead, try the special K two week challenge.
I did it, and lost ten pounds in the two weeks, even though I did alot of exercise, and I had special K for the last meal as well.
Also purchase fitness magazines, and maybe ever CosmoGirl and Seventeen magazines.
CosmoGirl has a good weight loss arcticle for February, to help tone abs.
I suggest trying that. And yoga =]
