Sounds great! That's what I do.... I think it is the GLA that gave me a headache.
Hubby starts the combo today (after fishing tourney) I can't wait to measure him next week. He was unpleasantly surprised at his measurements last night. I can't wait to see them in a few weeks. I think it kinda depressed him.He weighed last night... I have been sneaking in lc meals...about 2 weeks I think he's 248.5 from 255!!!! That was with him drinking on the weekends. He wants to lose weight but he doesn't want to diet. I think he's starting to come around.

I have a question for all of you major exercisers..... hubby works construction... hard work lemme tell ya, when I go to the job I am amazed at what they do all day... makes me happy to run the office at home and drive around to meet the homeowners and inspectors.
Here's the question part. Do you think he needs to add to the exercise? I mean he is already dog tired when he gets home... leaves home at 5:00 am and returns at 6:00 pm. I really don't see where he would have time to add anything except on the weekends, but he has been doing this work since he was a teenager. His muscles have probably gotten used to the every day strain.... he has SEXY legs and muscular arms.... he carries his weight in his belly. |

Gina,
I am taking 3500 mg of CLA a day (liquid) and the evening primrose I just finished was 90 mg of GLA for 1 softgel, I was taking 4 of those. Now, the evening primrose my mom gave me only has 45 mg of GLA per pill so I have to take 8 of those!! ![]() |

I think Paige is using one similar to yours, but not certain. As soon as I use the four free bottles of evening primrose my mom gave me I will be changing to borage oil. Would much prefer to cut down the number of pills I am taking!
Also, is that just the GLA count? And not the overall mg count? |

Can't remember if I read whether you measured yet. If not, do it now!! You will want to see the results.

Bandwagon here I come, (jumps in) I bought the Borage Oil 500 mgfor one tab by Spring Valley at walmart and also Tonalin 1000-CLA by Rexall at walmart 2 tabs 2,000 mg. Are these the correct things? I am concerned I got the wrong borage oil since it dosen't say gla. What do you all think?
Should I take them all at once or spread through the day? I fugure I will take 3,000mg of cla and 1,00 mg of the borage oil. I hope it is right! I am one of those people that can eat nothing and still gain weigh especially in my midsection. If all the resident "experts" agree on the dosage I will measure and start tomorrow. I am so thrilled that something could finally help me out! Thanks, Tracy

I believe your dosage is perfect. Some of us take the liquid, so this means we only take it once a day since the dosage is 3500 mg. I don't know if it is necessary to spread it out. In fact, I am going out of town until Monday so I am taking the CLA pills with me and will be taking all three of them in the morning instead of throughout the day.
Good luck, hope you get fabulous results! |

Good Afternoon everyone
I weighed in this morning and whoo hoo I'm down to 207!!! Chelle and TracyChelle fantastic results in a week just taking the cla/gla, glad you are with usWTG Michelle on tricking your hubby, maybe he'll join us after seeing his results. He doesn't need any more exercise...the combo will take it off his waist Tracy, I think borage oil is borage oil it all has the GLA, looks like you have a good combination going, glad to have you with us Gavinsmom good idea on starting a challenge thread for us to post results, but I think this thread needs to continue also, it has inspired so many people to give this a try. I hope everyone has a fantastic and safe weekend ![]() |

Heather150...(put in the freezer) LOL I like your idea better
Chrystine... I now dub you "Cheesecake Queen" lol Good talking to you on Yahoo messenger gf. Keep up the good work and buzz me anytime shulamite... (planning special ops to raid their fridge) LOL we will share with you luckylychee... Welcome to the thread. You will see inches lost before the scales move, but you WILL notice a big difference. It took me about 3 weeks before the scale started moving but I lost 9 inches. Just hang with it and dont get discouraged with the scale. Taking pics and measurements now is the best way to follow your progress. Keep us posted Chelle... Welcome to the thread, can't wait to see your results. Keep us posted FYI..is anyone getting the burps with CLA/GLA??? ... I finally put my glasses on and read the label on the Tonlin 1000-CLA. Here is what it says...Studies demonstrate that the CLA helps reduce body fat.... "Consult doctor before use if you have, or have had, diabetes or hypoglycemia or if you are taking ANY PRESCRIPTION MEDICATIONS. Discontinue use and consult your doctor if any adverse reactions occur, including gastrointestinal discomfort or fatigue. For best results, use as part of a low fat reduced-calorie diet and daily exercise program. HD Lady... Welcome to the thread. I get a nasty metalic taste in my mouth when I go into ketosis. Thats how I know its working. The ketosis strips help monitor it, but for some reason, Tom gets there quicker than I do. Takes me a week to get there and mine never get as dark as Toms either. got2luv, Michelle ... Tell hubby to switch to Michelob low carb beer. lol its not bad at all really. Tom and I usually have a couple Rum Island Ice Teas when we hot tub and it doesn't seem to hurt anything. Tell him to get his behind on here and post with us too lol (Do you think he needs to add to the exercise?) In my opinion, hes exercising enough on the job. The cla/gla should work really well for him with his job I would think. Give him the "atta boy award" from me for giving it a try lol gina7657... Congrats on quitting smoking, I'm gonna try it again soon myself. snafu323...I take the liquid cla , I like just having to remember 1 dose in the morning, and the Spring Valley brand Borage Oil caps from Wal-Mart has 500mg gla and I take 2 twice a day Tracer... Welcome aboard. Your dosage sounds about right to me. Just dont give up, you WILL see results tom_912 ... Wheres my cheesecake !!!!!!! I had to take in another notch on my miners belt at work too, yeaaaa !!!Anyone up for a live Chat sometime this weekend? Yahoo or here?

I spent over 24 yrs in the Coast Guard, retired as a Chief Boatswains Mate. Spent most of my career bouncing from Florida to Alaska with a stop over in Port Aransas TX and last tour in Huntington WV. I retired in 1999 and miss the action, but enjoy being able to stay home

Hi Trisha
Quote:
How strange is that? I'm gonna wait out the week, see if the burpees and tummy fullness goes away. If not, I'll have to stop ![]() I just took my first dose, just got home from work. Wonder how bad it will set me back to only take 2 doses instead of my usual 4?? i'll try to squeeze in at least three of my CLAs...afraid to take them in short spurts. I may even be having a problem with the Evening Primrose, since I take them together. So I don't know if its the CLA or the GLA?? I do know that I feel smaller....but it's all in my head...singing to myself that I'm shrinking I'm shrinking hahahahaha. Tom-WTG on the lossage and the shrinkage! You men always have it easy! Hmph! LOL

You're skeering me Trisha. Then how will I lose the inches???? <whine>
Isn't the reason ya lose those inches is because of the combo? I mean..I'd much rather just take the CLA than to have to take them both...too many #%#% pills LOL I'm gonna go read up on this again...I'm so confuddled! |
