wich types of protien powder are good for you to take? ive been told its bad for a women to use is that true?? is it better to workout while taking different types of supplements as appose to not taking them? are performance enhancers good to take will i see results sooner ? will fat burner supplements help ? should i be taking certain types of extra vitamins?...im not exactly sure is there are necessary things i should be taking vitamens etc. etc. what should and shouldnt i take is it better to take them or not take them ?

I would suggest the same thing I was suggested when asking about protein supplements:
Look and make a food diary or something like that, check what you are eating, maybe count some calories and proteins if possible. When I don't know what you are eating, it's very hard to tell if you need any protein or extra vitamins. Extra vitamins can't hurt, it's quite hard to overdose those, but they are usually expensive and might not improve your performance or anything if you're getting your daily dose already.
About fat burners I'm really sceptic as always. If you do things right and have the will to lose fat, it's just a waist of your money. Fat doesn't just burn if you're doing nothing about it even if you are taking that kind of supplement, and I would suggest you to be patient. But maybe that is just my view, and someone has more positive experiences from fat burnerns.

Depends what your goals are... what are your goals?

Kelsea, you are double dipping, asking the same question in two different sections of the forum. All the same people read all the sections, so just post in one place, and ask Ironman or TimD to delete the other or merge the two.

my goals are really just to burn fat and strength train i am being patient and i dont expect to see results like that i know i have to work for them i have been going to the gym for a few months now and i now people that take different types of supplements and use protien powders but i was told as a women using protien powder i would end up bulky ..i do not want to be bulky i want definition . my main goal is to get rid of lower stomach fat im only 120lbs. i would just like to achieve the overall flatter stomach .

Protein powder won't make you bulky. Eating crap and not exercising will make you bulky. Read the stuff in the diet section here. There are several posts on protein.

The only "performance enhancer" that might be worthwhile is creatine, and there are several threads about that. Fat burners will burn your money much better than your fat. Fat not at all.

Worthwhile supplements might include a multivitamin, if you don't have a pretty complete diet, glucoseamine if you have arthritis, and protein powder if you don't get enough protein in your diet, or if you want to have a little extra on board for your workout (the theory being that it will help muscle growth).

There is no supplement or pill that will take the place of hard work, eating right and getting enough sleep. My approach was to make my strength gains through the SL program now I am making additions to my program to burn a little fat.

I answered your other thread as it seems to relate to diet.
