LosingIt · 01-20-2006, 10:09 AM

Chevy!! You must be bubbling over!! That is a great change in just 3 weeks girl!!

I am going to the store today to get my borage oil... I think I will keep taking my Flax, Fish and Borage for the 400 mg. flax in there... til they are gone. And I have 2 bottles because they were buy one get one free!! Anyway... then I'll probably switch to just Flax Oil and Borage Oil.

I am truly excited to see all of the changes happening here! KUTGW!!

Bobnatlanta · 01-20-2006, 11:07 AM

I've switched from GNC GLA to Borage Oil, (major boost in GLA dosage) we'll see what that does for me. In the meantime, my pants are pretty darn roomy. Starting to look forward to measurements and scale readings on Feb 1.

135Bonnie · 01-20-2006, 11:08 AM

Ok everyone--started my CLA 3400 mg and GLA 2000 yesterday--measured by fat gut (its othe only measurement I took cause its the real problem) and I will report back weekly on any changes.

ginamw1965 · 01-20-2006, 01:39 PM

Hi Everybody,

I've been very busy at work. I've been lurking everyday and keeping up with the posts on the thread as best as I can. Thanks for thinking about me girls.

You all, are my other family - I'm not leaving you!!

Caly, you are so pretty and congrats on your progress. I was like

OMG-look at our Caly girl. I'm so happy for you

Chevy, I've been waiting to see those pictures. I knew it was going to be a very dramatic change by the way you were posting.

You look wonderful and I know you have to be doing the happy dance

. Keep up the good work. Very proud of you!!!

Amy, I'm so happy to finally see you. I like your picture!

Well, I was still feeling sorry for myself - because of all the cheating I did and the fact that I am not really exercising, nor am I in ketosis. I got up the nerve to weigh and measure. I was shocked at the fact that I had lost 2.3 lbs and lost in inches also. I was sure I had gained all over.
I must give the credit to our CLA/GLA COMBO

. I am sooo thankful!

Here are my current stats - then I'll list my over all so far. I was so happy. I am re inspired.

And now feeling rather dumb for my self pitty.

I haven't measured or weighted since 12/14 - until now.
Current

Wt. -2.3 lbs
Chest -.75

Ribcage - .5
Upper AB -1.5

Lower AB same
Hips -.5

Thighs Plus 1.0

Tricep -.25

Neck -.5

Total

Wt - 7.3
Chest - 4.25
Ribs - 7.5
Up AB - 5.5
L AB - 3.0
Hips - .5
Thighs - Plus 1.0
Tricep - .25
Neck - .5

Total of: 21.5 Inches Lost
I now wish I had taken those pictures.

I miss talking to you also Trish. Michelle hope to talk to you sometime - I know you are a busy women.

you both. (whatever happened to our Jamie???)

Gina

135Bonnie · 01-20-2006, 01:46 PM

Gina--that is so great! Now maybe I will measure the rest of myself and hope for similar results. Good going girl!

ginamw1965 · 01-20-2006, 01:53 PM

Thanks Bonnie, yes do measure and take pictures - now I know why Trish and Michelle stress that fact to everyone. Wish I would of listened sooner.

Gosh I didn't realize my post was so big. Couldn't figure out how to line it all up.
Leave it to me to take up half of the page, lol !

Gina

Cutie · 01-20-2006, 02:07 PM

yeah, Gina brings up a good point...where IS Jamie???? does anyone know?

Hockey_Mom · 01-20-2006, 02:40 PM

Hello everyone, these are all wonderful results! I've decided to jump on the CLA/GLA wagon. I just received my order from Netrition. I have a bottle of Tonalin 1000 CLA and a bottle of Borage Oil 1050mg 240mg gla. I'm so confused with how many of each I should take.

How many of each should I take? Do I take them all at once or spread throughout the day? Do I take it with meals or empty stomach?

I am hoping for some great results.

got2luv · 01-20-2006, 03:20 PM

Karen, I would take the supplements at least one hour apart from eachother.

Bouji.... You should take 5 CLA You can split them up or however you want to do it.
I would only take 2 of your borage oils... maybe start with one then experiment and try 2 to see if there is a difference. Some of us are getting better results with a higher dosage. I tried that and nothing different happened so I went back to regular doses. It is best to take it with protein if it makes you feel yucky.

got2luv · 01-20-2006, 03:21 PM

I miss Jamie

Maybe she's with her true love and is too busy to mess with us little people anymore

The liquid CLA is easier because you get all that you need in one dose per day. It's $22.95 (I think)

michelle, gnc brand is 1000 mg of pure cla

Karen74 · 01-20-2006, 03:58 PM

Caly, that is the one (GNC Pro Perfomance CLA 1000 mg) that I take, I have been taking 4, are you taking all your pills at once or spreading it out. I am also taking their 1000 mg Borage. You look great by the way! I feel off the wagon big time over the holidays, so I am back. It is so hard starting over.

Here's my new "green" one...it's probably not as cute as the "blue" one you just saw but I like it because it doesn't show my chubby cheeks as much as the one you commented on (or at least that's what I'm telling myself!

)

loveshinesthru · 01-20-2006, 06:09 PM

Ok so if the Borage Oil,is 240mg of GLA how many of these should I be taking each day?

I would start off with one... then in a couple of weeks take 2. Some of us are having better results with 2, I tried that and didn't notice a difference so I went back to 1.

am2106 · 01-21-2006, 08:29 AM

G'day everyone ~

For those of you who take the liquid CLA from netrition, do you keep it in the fridge or where do you keep it? I remember reading that it didn't have to be refrigerated, but the bottle says to keep "tightly sealed in a cool, dry place". I'm wondering what defines cool.

Second question again, for those of you taking liquid CLA. How exactly do you measure it? It seems kind of difficult to measure because it just comes out in a glob (from having been kept in the fridge). I'd just as soon not refrigerate it, but I don't want to waste $23 worth of CLA, either.

In case you haven't noticed, I tend to way over think things. It took me 2 days to work up enough courage to make a batch of yogurt. I think it turned out - waiting for it to cool.

Hey Anna!

I've always kept mine out on a shelf unrefrigerated, so it pours out pretty easily. I think as long as it's not sitting around in direct hot sunlight it should be fine not being refrigerated!

Hope that helps! Enjoy!

It does - thanks!
Going to move it right now before I forget - and hopefully I remember where I move it to in the morning.

iabowhunter · 01-21-2006, 09:03 AM
