So far I've made it through breakfast and lunch!!

Well, off to take youngest kiddos to the circus

swinglow · 03-28-2008, 12:59 PM

Hey everybody! Please forgive my absence. I've not been feeling well (tummy issues

) But I'm feeling better now! Good to be back. Hope everyone is well.

Smythe · 03-28-2008, 01:12 PM

ok guys-
I took ur advice and ordered the tonalin and borage oil caps from netrition. I started them today when I got home from work, but I had taken the smartblend caps this morning. I guess I take 3 tonalin and 2 borage for today and be done!
Wish me luck. My belly is way to big

. Does this combo have any effect on the entire tire of fat that seems to go from the belly and around to the top of my butt??

God I hate that lumpy butt thing

michelemomof2 · 03-28-2008, 01:52 PM

I haven't been on the computer since the 25th...just didn't feel like posting. I'm starting to feel a little better and hope to be on more next week, after DD goes back to TN.

all around.

girl81 · 03-29-2008, 03:53 AM

If a person is trying to gain weight, will cla help with that?

swinglow · 03-29-2008, 05:23 AM

Hey girl81, it definitely helps with muscle mass. That's why many lose inches but not weight. Their bodies gain muscle at a similar rate that they lose body fat. Resulting in a slimmer shape.

PAULAR42166 · 03-29-2008, 05:50 AM

Good Morning everyone!!

Well just as I thought I was in a stall, really getting down on my self , I dropped 2 more pounds this week !!! I was thrilled. Guess I will just keep up what I have been doing. I did try to add more water this week. Dont know what did it but going to keep going. Son is within 4 pounds of me. Now we have a challenge going !!!

Hope you Losers have a great weekend!!!

Paula

Hello Trish, tom, phil, swing, MG, marsha, kathy, chic and everyone else i missed.

jimzgrl · 03-29-2008, 10:57 AM

Good morning all! Still not much going on, but I'm always here lurking!

Kids thought circus was fun, I thought it was pretty boring compared to when I was a kid (or was it that boring back then and I just thought it was fun??

) Kids wanted to ride the ponies--I didn't know I had to pick up my son and walk around with him

that added some major pain to my back for the rest of the night! Also didn't care for the elephant "smell"

, very overpowering!

Promised kids I would take them to the indoor pool today, hoping the water feels good to me. Better go get them all fed and ready to go.

Have a great day everybody!!!

kycowgirl · 03-29-2008, 01:16 PM

Hi all, I'm still fighting this virus. Sounds like I have the whooping cough now and the dust at work isnt helping. We are all wondering if the new "fire proof" cigarettes has something to do with everyone coughing and feeling like cr*p

girl81, welcome to the thread

. Your very welcome about my posts. I'm not an expert or Nutritionist, but I do alot of research and share what I find. I started taking the cla/gla in October 2005. Over just a few months, I lost almost 3 sizes and 20 something pounds, and if I remember right, about 16 overall inches. I was going to Curves, doing LC and losing but it was very slow until I added this combo. My weight and inches really started melting off then even after I stopped going to Curves. Thats how I know it was this combo that made the difference. I'll try to find my progress chart from then, but here is my progress pics from Oct05-Dec05

Unfortunatley, I fell off hard during the holidays then, and just can't get myself back on track and do this the right way again with my eating. I am not giving up though, I will get back on track and lose this weight with the combo !!! I'm not sure about the gaining weight on this combo, but it is said to replace the fat with lean muscle so there cold be a weight gain because of that

chic, are you getting nervous aboutt he run? Remember, you have a cheering section right here ....we will be rooting for you all the way to the finish line !!!

Mikki, I'll enjoy the beach for you in July lol

jimzgrl, you keep us posted on that surgery, k ?

Denise, hows that tummy today?

Smythe, did you get the 1200mg cla? Yes this combo really defines the mid-area

Michele, we understand. Come back and post when you feel like it

Kitzikat22, congrats on the 233 !!! I'm a scale-ho, I weight everyday so I can keep track of where I am each day

Paula, sounds like a fun challenge with yor DS. congrats on the loss !!

to everyone else

kycowgirl · 03-29-2008, 01:22 PM

If anyone gets bored and wants something to read, here is the thread that got Tom & I to start taking this combo....lots of good info there. I'm going to re-read it again myself

How is the CLA/GLA going?

I officially weigh in on Friday's and record my weight and body fat in a nice little tracker in Excel. But I do weigh myself almost every day just to make sure I'm on track to my weekly goal.

Working hard to lose my cruise weight and will start the CLA/GLA combo as soon as my order is received.

Smythe · 03-30-2008, 05:42 AM

hey everyone! So I've been doing my thing...woe, ecercise and taking the combo...I think I'm on day 3 of the real combo but I had been doing the smartblend which is what I took before.

A few questions if you don't mind... ummm, does taking this combo increase urination? I feel like I'm always emptying my bladder

The smartblend was said to boost immune system...same for this combo?

OK, thanks all!

Kitzikat22 · 03-30-2008, 09:08 AM

Good Morning,

Just stopping by to say Hello to everyone, and I am so glad to know others think there scales are there best friends.. well every now and then..hehe, Thank you all for you help with questions I know I am new and all but it sure helps, I look forward to logging on to view what other have done or said, its sure a up lift to know I am not the only one rowing this boat. I think I have been blinded by the Barbie syndrome, I know I wont ever be her, but I still can bend and pose just as well.. Now just to find my NON Ken and Life will be good.. *Smiles and Winks*

Karen

Determinedtolose · 03-30-2008, 09:09 AM

Hi!
I posted some time ago here with questions about the CLA and GLA. Well I finally bought it so I'm going to post what I have to see if it's the right stuff.

The Tonalin-CLA is 1000mg and the GLA is 1300 mg, but below that is say's 117mg GLA (9%).
I guess the Evening Primrose is 1300mg and the GLA is 117.

Is this okay, or do I need to get a different mg in the GLA?

Thanks!!!
