How is the CLA/GLA going? - Page 13

Chrystine · 10-16-2005, 06:27 PM

Hello everyone! Just home from our camping trip. We had a great time! As my family chowed down on Doritos and Smores, I stayed ON PLAN!! I did not eat one item that was off my plan! I am really proud of myself. I would have said before, oh well, I'll just have one. Not this time! Woo Hoo

Hello Winged and Sludge!! Welcome to our little experiment!

got2luv · 10-16-2005, 06:35 PM

That is excellent Susan!!! I Can't wait to see everyone's progress pics.

Winged, I hope you have the same great results that alot of us have had. This stuff is amazing. I have to admit, when I saw the inches falling off I kicked up my workouts a little..... ok.... maybe alot!!! It gives me that extra incentive to work harder.

Chrystine, I am proud of you! I don't know if I coulda stayed on plan. I'll check in again later.

Keep up the great work y'all

got2luv · 10-17-2005, 08:19 AM

Today is my 4th day back on the combo. The scale is NOT my friend right now, but I think I am going to stay on the combo for a while to see if maybe I didn't give it a chance to show on the scale.

As of this morning the scale read 158.

BUT I measured (I know I should wait for a whole week but I had to) and all measurements are the same except...

... my low abs (apron) DOWN 1/2 inch!!!!! Yep

Oh Yeah!!!!! 3 whole days on it and I already have results..... now for about 10 more inches!!!!!

got2luv · 10-17-2005, 09:04 AM

I kept forgetting to buy the CLA so I didnt start until Friday. I think I am going to stay away from the scale for a while. It has totally ruined my day. I shoulda just measured. Where is everyone?

got2luv · 10-17-2005, 09:26 AM

I can't wait to see them! I wish now that I had never stopped taking them, my headaches are back. I think that if I decide to cycle them again I will only cut down and not quit all together.

Shula, I wish I had a friend like you! You are always so encouraging and positive. Always wanting to help and support all of us, and you are very funny. You make me smile! I wuv you!

Chrystine · 10-17-2005, 09:34 AM

Scale is not my friend this morning either. 213.6!!

I was just 209.4 last Tuesday. But . . . I know it is nothing I did wrong, I have been totally on plan. Likely to be the impending arrival of TOM. Oh joy.
Yes Michelle, it affects my attitude too when the scale is not my friend.

Meekness29 · 10-17-2005, 09:43 AM

Just cruisin by to say HI

I'll be rejoining the group in about a month. You all keep up the good work

catkin · 10-17-2005, 10:25 AM

Amazing threaad you have here! I just ordered the Clarinol and borage oil from Netrition. Can't wait!

My hat's off you you all!

dlslds · 10-17-2005, 02:46 PM

this past week i have been 'anxiety eating' my cheese at night so my scale wt is up 3 pounds-----but i am loving the liq cla and the gla combo and i just started using the sculpting gel about a week ago, i Really like it! I have also started the dry skin brushing for the past 4 days now.

the past 2 days my hospital scrubs are just sooo baggy now in the thighs, they just flap around my legs when i walk

unattractive, i know, but im just grinnin' from ear to ear!!!

i love it when stuff starts getting baggy

WTG!!!

got2luv · 10-17-2005, 02:50 PM

Catkin,
I hope you have the same amazing results. Total since starting for me is 5 inches off the belly (2 in the waist and 3 in the low waist.. apron area), 3 inches off the bust and 2 inches off my right thigh. This week would have been 1 month since starting.

I can't wait to read about your results.

LosingIt · 10-17-2005, 03:02 PM

Here's my one week.... Can this be possible?!?.... Of course... I measured alot of areas

Here they are:

10/8 10/16
Bust
43/42 (-1)
Waist
34/33 (-1)
low waist
39/37 (-2)
Hips
41/38.75 (-2.25)
Thigh
24/23 (-1)
Arm
12.5/12 (-.5)
UpperStomach
33.5/32.5 (-1)
bra line
33/32 (-1)

Grand Total 9.75!!!

Can that be right?... I'm still in shock. I measured on the 8th the day I started CLA/GLA and again yesterday! I was going to do a week on and a week off... today is my first day off but I am second guessing myself as to whether or not I want to go off now?!? The scale has stalled on me~ so I'm not sure what to do.

got2luv · 10-17-2005, 03:14 PM

AMAZING !!!! I am sure that you measured over and over again, like when you lose alot of weight and you step on the scale over and over again!!!! I am so happy for you!!!!

Those measurements are probably correct. I lost 10 inches in a month but I also cycled. I am not cycling again, for now anyway. I am happy with the inches falling off... eventually the scale will show it.

I just talked to a friend of my sister's who said that she was on it for 2 1/2 months before the scale started moving any real amount but in that month she lost 22 lbs. Her advise was to keep taking it even when there are no results.

I am So proud of you!!!!!!!!!

LosingIt · 10-17-2005, 03:19 PM

Ok... if I only measured Bust, Waist and hips it would only be 3.25~ seems more realistic to me... but somewhere I read measure all over so you can tell more.

Thanks Michelle! Maybe I'll go ahead and take my evening dose... I skipped this morning and lunch. I can't decide what I'm going to do.

got2luv · 10-17-2005, 03:23 PM

I just started measuring all over. I wish I had from the beginning. I would probably have about 25-30 total inches lost. I measure shoulders, bust, under bust, waist, apron area, hips, butt, thighs, calfs, and biceps.

I have a chart now..... I'm trying to get this organized like I would at work.

shulamite · 10-17-2005, 03:28 PM

i wish i had never cycled off...

great loss!!!!

so glad you posted...

tom_912 · 10-17-2005, 04:06 PM

We're back from our trip to Tennessee, had a wonderful time, never laughed so hard in my life. Great to see all the new comers and

I stayed on the cla/gla but fell off the wagon...

but was planned and going on M/E for the rest of the week, I didn't have to go back to my previous notch on the belt so thats a good thing. Glad everyone is feeling better

and its good to be back here

tom_912 · 10-17-2005, 04:09 PM

Losingit, we've been there many times and its the best place to stay in the Smokies in our opinion. If you want more info PM me or kycowgirl we'll be happy to help you out.

Chrystine · 10-17-2005, 04:27 PM

I personally say don't cycle off if you can stand the stall. The inches continue to come off and Shula said she wishes she hadn't cycled.

sandooch140 · 10-17-2005, 06:07 PM

Wow, I am continually amazed by everyone's results with this supplement. Way to go!!!

Shula--I showed DH your before and after pics from taking CLA and now he is on them. LOL He doesn't want me to measure him, just says he'll know when his pants get looser. See...you've created a monster! This is day two for him. I'll let you all know the outcome in a week.

Tom and Cowgirl--Glad you two had fun and are back safe and sound!

kycowgirl · 10-17-2005, 06:12 PM

Thanks Sandy, I was just looking at all the amazing posts on the Big Loser Thread. You are stunning !!! I cannot wait till I can post my goal pictures, and I hope I look at least half as good as you and the other ladies on that thread. WTG !!!!

got2luv · 10-17-2005, 06:53 PM

Hey Tom and Trish!!!! I am glad that y'all had such a blast.

Yeah, I don't think I'm going to cycle again either.

I can't wait til Friday so I can take some real measurements. I promised myself that I would only do it every week... but when you are getting such great results, it's hard to wait.

I fell off the wagon today. My son's birthday was Saturday and I didn't eat any of his cake. He was out of school today and they went to fix them a piece and "saved" one for me. I told him that I couldn't have any and he started crying, said "Mom, I saved you the "6". Aren't you proud of me for my birthday? I love you, aren't you happy for me?"

Soooooooo I ate it.

Back on plan immediately... we shall see how bad I messed up.

kycowgirl · 10-17-2005, 06:57 PM

Oh nooooooo LOL well you had to eat the little genious's cake lol We can all jump back on the wagon together now

Winged1 · 10-17-2005, 07:57 PM
