CLA 3 x 1000mg= 3000 mg
GLA 2 x 500mg= 10000mg
Flax Oil 1 only = 1200mg
Biotin 1 only = 1000mcg

Is this ok and also does anyone know the best way to distribute them during the day? Just the CLA/GLA combination would make me nauseous to take it all at once. Any recommendations?

It doesn't seem like you are taking too much. If you would like a comparison to someone who takes a lot of supplements, take a look at what I take:

multi vitamin
CLA 4/day
GLA 4/day
Sesamin 500 mg 3/day
Fish oil 1200mg 4/day
Co Q-10 50mg 2/day
Alpha Lipoic Acid/Acetyl L-Carnitine combo 2/day
Biotin 5000 mcg 1/day
L-glutamine 500mg 3/day
Astaxanthin 1/day

I separate my pills into three doses to be taken throughout the day. I will also add flax oil to my combo as soon as my order gets here.

Never heard of it myself but I did find 1 review on it....I guess its worth a try. Netrition usually restocks pretty fast and they ship quick too. There is a place under the price where you can add your e mail to be notified when the liquid cla will be in too.
The choice is up to you. Let us know if you try it .
Review...
I do notice a bit of an energy boost since taking ThinFat, but haven't noticed much weight loss. This product tastes absolutely terrible - it's oil based, and if you decide to try it I do recommend dispersing directly in your mouth and then chasing it with a diet soda - that's the only way to rid yourself of the taste. If you try to make a salad dressing out of it, you will only ruin your salad b/c the taste is so strong and so bad, nothing can mask it!

If it doesnt smell bad it should be ok. I would think with the weather change it may have something to do with the seperation of it. You can go to the netrition website and click the help button and they have a contact number there you can call and ask.

Sorry Trisha that you can't do lots of the exercises... Injuries can sure make life difficult. I have had back problems as well, but am usually able to do most exercises... I would really love to improve my posture, hoping some of what I'm doing will do that.

conbofan... come out from under that bed! Sorry you slipped up, but hey! Its time to get yourself together & get on with it!! You are so close! Go Girl go!

[2big4britjez]

My CLA order came in the mail today and I started it this evening!!

I sure hope the combo helps, because I just gotta show something for all these pills ~ plus Colonix ~ I'm taking! I think I counted 26 total! Most of them are horse pills too! Luckily I don't have a problem swallowing them.

Anyway, hope the inches start melting away!!

Okay I am not sure on the dosage, I know its been talked about a bunch!! On the GLA I read that 1000 mg a day is the norm, so would I take four of the Borage Oil pills since they have 240mg per pill or would I just take one since it has 1050mg of Borage Oil. Also has anyone tried the blends of EPO and Borage Oil?

Tom did really well on 500mg of GLA. I needed 1000mg. I havent tried the blends. From what I read, you would need to take too many of them for the required dose and I dont want to take any more pills than I have to lol

Val, I started the colonix this week too. Besides going a little more regular, nothing spectacular happening. I'm happy with that

conbo, dust off those britches and dont worry about it. we have all fell off the woe wagon (I have too many times). The important thing is to get back on and dont give up !!!

[conbofan9]

thanks tricia....i know what i need to do, its just so frustrating that i cannot get below 139...and then i go cheat and have no clue where i am now...will wait until next week to weigh....why was it soooo easy at the beginning and now nothing happens or i get discouraged? who knows!!! anywhooo...i am out of borage..need to go get some. still taking the cla in themeantime though...

ok...lunch over gotta get back to work...

Just a question... do you gain weight if you stop the CLA/GLA combo?

[kidsdogsbirds]

My liquid CLA is clear as well, I wonder if I got a bad batch??? I shake it up really well and it's clear with just a little bit of speckles in it. It tastes like vegetable oil with the slightest tang in the aftertaste.

No, thats the good thing about this combo. Once you reach goal and stop taking it, as long as you stay eating clean you will not regain. If you go back to old habits, yes you will regain

BTW...you have the prettiest eyes !!!

You may want to write the company also. Mine is milky white and no specks, but I got it about a month ago. I store mine upside down so it mixes easier when I shake it. Nothing worst than having all the thick stuff at the bottom and getting it all in the last few doses lol . I still feel it just seperated because of the cold weather, but I cant really say for sure. Best to ask the makers

[gillygum]

hey thanks cowgirl! its amazing what makeup can do. haha! i'm glad to hear you don't gain it back! i just started it on monday and can already see results, but i didn't want to become dependent on these to maintain weight. i started thinking about some of the camping trips i have coming up and how i wouldn't really be able to take these pills around then. anyways, thanks!!

[veronicac]

Veronicaaaaaaaa , always good to see you popping in . It doesnt matter if your not still doing the combo, its always good to see you stop by. I'm still trying to get myself in gear to lose the weight before we go to Florida the last week of April. We are going to Toms moms in Wimauma and I wanna look at least half way good in a swimsuit cuz I plan to stay on the beach or in the pool lol

Your very welcome . Camping sounds like fun. tell us all about it when you get back. You plan to do any hiking too?

I sure is quiet on this board on the weekend. I love coming on here to see how everyone is doing that has often encouraged me. I am going to take a month off from the combo b/c I just ran out of CLA and I have reached my goal. I still have some borage oil so I will be still taking it and who knows I may set a new goal and pick up the combo again.

[kycowgirl]

Congrats on reaching goal kj !!! Do you have any before and after pics you want to share????

[kycowgirl]

Good morning everyone. How was everyones weekend? I am down 3 pounds since Friday, so I am happy .

We are about to get hammered by another snow storm. 6-10 inches expected With Significant Ice Accumulation Possible!!! I am soooooooo ready for summer !!

[purpledusty]

Hello Trish and everyone else. It has been awhile. I have been keeping up with you, just not posting. I have lost about 9 more pounds over the past few months. I take the combo religiously everyday. I am currently comfortably wearing 30" waist pants and small shirts. One thing I am doing different is I set aside 1 hour every week to pig out on anything I have been craving. I might see a pound or two water weight gain the next day, but soon I am back to normal, mainly eating the food I love: Cheese! If you are wondering no the cheese does not keep me "backed up" EVCO takes care of that. Hope to be posting more regularly. Have an awesome day everyone. Jerry

[kycowgirl]

Jerry, Its wonderful to see your still with us. I miss your posts though. I agree with you about having an eat what you want time (in moderation). I feel its better to have a planned time for it and get it over with instead of stressing over wanting to have it.

[Bows1]

Just checkin in*** Lost another 5 inches total (I measure in 8 places)!! I am soooooooo psyched! Just wish the darn scale would move........hasn't budged in 2 weeks..well it has, but it's been up down up down, etc. But I'll sure take those inches! I attribute the loss to the combo anddd Bodyflex..yay!!
