Losing weight is a complex and often difficult process. There may be several factors contributing to your weight gain: diet, lack of exercise, physiological challenges (thyroid or appetite disfunction), psychological issues, heredity, etc. Obviously, all these areas must be analyzed and addressed. You mentioned that you tried the gym; if that is the case, there may be other physiological imbalances at play here - it's impossible for me to say. If a person ignores one of the contributing factors in hopes that one supplement is the easy answer to weight loss, they are, in all probability, setting themselves up for disappointment.
Having said that, there are several weight loss supplements that can be very effective within the structure of a complete weight loss regime. The apple cider vinegar combination that you mention is an excellent one! The blend of ingredients serves to aid digestion, emulsify fats (lecithin is included for this reason), regulate blood sugar levels (chromium partners with insulin) and lower cholesterol. We offer all these ingredients as single-ingredient supplements or in various blends and combinations, as well as some others that you may discover are very effective. Many people have found CLA (conjugated linoleic acid) products have helped them shed the weight. Others swear by the MetaSlim family of phase 2 products. You can browse these products and those in the Weight Control section of our site, taking notice of the reviews posted by others speaking from first-hand experience.
Keep in mind that the rate at which you lose weight has everything to do with how well you address the other contributing factors that I mentioned earlier. The supplements will definitely help, as will increasing water consumption, limiting carbohydrates (although, I'm not advocating an extreme fad protein diet), portion control, smart food-combining with a diet heavy in fruits in vegetables - and, of course, regular exercise; walking 20-40 minutes a day is ideal for this. If, after a dedicated effort, none of these things have worked, you may want to seek medical attention to explain your weight problems. Stay positive and don't give up!
