How is the CLA/GLA going?

got2luv · 09-28-2005, 02:01 PM

Just wanted to check in with the cla/gla folks to see how you are all doing on it. I am down another half inch in my waist

I have to say that I enjoy being able to see my stomach getting flatter, the pounds aren't moving (because I fell off plan... badly) but the inches are falling off.

I'm back on plan and reinducting today.

This morning I was 159.5

My hubby doesn't realize that I went off plan, he leeps telling me that I am looking great.... thanks to the cla/gla I think.

im in that week before TOM... so you know how that goes...

overall my experience with cla/gla has been awesome...i havent even been able to do as much cardio/weightlifting as i was 2 weeks ago and still i can see the change happening to my midsection...

after the intial acne on my belly fat i have had no problems at all with that... i have no side effects at all or feel bad for taking it... i actually feel better...

after TOM is over i will post some more progress pics and measurements... id really like to try and capture what it looks like from the "jigglypuff" to the "inches lost"... thats the way i see it changing...it gets jp then in a day not even 2 it flattens out and i can see the change... my fat is kinda coagulated (gross) on my belly so i can see it going...

its closing i on a month after this week of taking it... 2 weeks cla then started the combo... i have lost quite a bit of inches of the midsection

i will say that i think that a good sticking to plan lc WOE and a good consistant work out schedule and these supplements could be very very succesful..

hope to see others ck in as well...

lessofme_9 · 09-28-2005, 03:24 PM

My results are also amazing since taking cla/gla...I've been taking the combo for a little over a month, and I was 38-38-38...This week I'm 36-34-36

I also haven't seen the scale move much, but the inches are melting away....

*SANDY*

Size 20/6/4-6

I'm down 69.5 pounds and only 3.5 pounds from goal!!!

***** any day your gonna hit goal... and the whole earth will shake!!!*****

sandooch140 · 09-28-2005, 04:19 PM

You know it, Shula. I'll be hitting every forum on here to boast about it once I get there, too! LOL

got2luv · 09-28-2005, 04:35 PM

I think this is amazing, My personal trainer actually confided in me that she has now started taking it since she has seen my results.

I LOVE IT !!!!!

Chrystine · 09-28-2005, 04:48 PM

My results are really good too. I am down 3 inches in my waist and 3 inches in my stomach. I can't remember for sure when I started, whether it was 1 1/2 weeks ago or 2 1/2

either way, it's wonderful. Big difference in the way my pants are fitting in the belly. Dh also said he is seeing a difference in my back.

Smythe · 09-28-2005, 04:59 PM

My belly is getting much flatter after just 2 weeks. I can't believe it's mine

Meekness29 · 09-28-2005, 06:32 PM

Hey gals... you all are doing wonderful on cla/gla. I'm taking the combo too. I measured once and lost .5 inch after the third day on cla. Today is day #2 on the combo. I can tell I've lost some more inches. I look much smaller in the waist area. I haven't measured due to TOM. He'll be gone in the 2morrow

I'll post my results on Friday. The scale is still moving thou. I'm losing 1 pound per day!

got2luv · 09-28-2005, 06:38 PM

Meekness, You Go Girl!!! A pound a day! Great!

I get teary eyed every time I think about this site and those of you that I see alot. I would still be climbing up the scale and hating myself each morning when I wake instead I can't wait to get up and get dressed to see how I'm gonna look that day.

You are all so great!!!!

DeliGirl · 09-28-2005, 08:32 PM

I haven't measured and haven't weighed in just about 2 weeks. I do notice that I'm getting smaller in part of my body that doesn't usually change as I lose weight though. I'm losing in my upper belly area. It's always stayed fatty, no matter what I've lost in the past. It's good to at least see something new since starting the CLA/GLA

jennilynn · 09-28-2005, 08:34 PM

I have been wanting to start taking this. Which combo are yall taking and how much? Any info would be great!

hungry1 · 09-28-2005, 08:39 PM

okay ladies I'm kinda new here and dont know what cla/gla means?? but whatever it is ...I want some..my belly...i just cant get rid of it..arghh...maybe I need to join you ladies..come on ladies dont keep secrets...you gotta tell me...please...please....

Tom · 09-28-2005, 08:50 PM

MRM's SmartBlend is a popular CLA/GLA combo.

You could also take Tonalin CLA along with Evening Primrose Oil for the GLA.

This is what I take. But instead of the Tonalin CLA, I take the liquid cla with clarinol (3500mg per half tablespoon).

got2luv · 09-29-2005, 03:21 AM

I take the Tonalin CLA and Evening Primrose Oil. I am down a total of 4.5 inches in my belly and 2 inches in my thighs. I was laughing when everyone started talking about the CLA "miracle pill" but I quit laughing very soon when shulamite posted her progress pics.

Wow what a difference soooooo I bought some and I am happy that I did.

FYI Some people have acne, headaches and other side effects. I personally had headaches for about 15 minutes after taking them when I first started, but now I have NO side effects at all.

Down another pound today

158.5

jennilynn · 09-29-2005, 05:43 AM

Thanks guys. How much should I start out taking and is it something that you increase over time?

Meekness29 · 09-29-2005, 07:01 AM

As of today, I'm down a total of 2.5 off my waist and stomach (the only area I measure). I'm also down .5 this morning

MY PRIMROSE IS 2 500MG 2X PER DAY. I SQUEEZE 4 IN MY L/C OJ... DO YOU THINK THIS IS OKAY?? I HAVE PROBLEMS SWALLOWING PILLS, SO I MIX MINES IN A LITTLE OJ.
