Trisha,
Have you taken the combo regularly at all since 2005?

A couple of years ago, I used the combo and it was a noticable difference. My wieght had not changed that much although at the time ( I was 20 lbs lighter) within 3 weeks to 4 weeks of using the combo I received LOTS of compliments and during that time period I was using the cla/gla. Interesting though, I haven't dipped into it this time around but after reading and be reminded of its "magic" I think I am going to start today ;D

Karen, I was there for 13 years myself, so totally understand. I have a wonderful hubby now though TG !!! Love your new attitude and glad you joined us

Diana, woohoo..another Val Kilmer fan !! I just loved him in Tombstone !! What you have is ok. Just make sure you take 3400mg cla and start with 500mg gla. The EPO tends to give headaches and the borage oil has a higher gla content, so keep that in mind. Check the back of the bottle for the actual contents
Hi kycowgirl!
Oh yeah! Totally love Val as Doc!!!

I'm going to post what both bottles of CLA/GLA have and if you can tell me if it sounds good, I'd appreciate it!

Tonalin CLA
Total Fat-3 g
CLA-2.22 g

GLA
Total Fat 1.5 g
Evening Primrose-13g
Cis-Linolenic Acid- 949 mg
Gamma Linolenic Acid-117 mg

How many do I take a day? I just took 1 of each, along with my multi vitamin and Biotin.

Thanks for your input!!

Glad to see everyone checking in occasionally, unlike me

I am still at 155lbs and TOM is due tomorrow though I am praying for pregnant still
I have been working out lots between Callan and the gym time. However the past few days I could eat a horse....not really hungry for sweets, just everything, especially hot peanuts.
I think its all psychosomatic though because I WANT to be pregnant now that I am 75lbs less than when I got pregnant the first time!!!!
I am still aiming for 145lbs, but just hoping to get in the 140's before Florida on the 18th.

I will stop again tomorrow when I should have more time....


I will pray for you......

I just thought I would pop in and say another 2.75 inches gone this week.

The down side is I'm only down 1lb but thats okay, the inches show that something great is happening.

I hope everyone has a wonderful week.

mikki, you really are "waist'ing" away, you go girl !! what are armadillo eggs ?

Free, you will get there. Make sure you take pics to share. Praying you have that baby by this time next year

girl81, unfortunately I haven't. I do great for awhile, but then I get so tired of LC I fall off plan and it takes me awhile to get motivated again. Nasty pattern I've gotten myself in to. I'm still beating my head on the desk for falling off when I was doing so well on it in 2005. Dang holidays !!!

metqa, yeppers. I'll go ahead and make it now since I work tonight and will try to sleep in tomorrow.

humptydumpty, welcome to the thread. cute av lol. Keep us posted on your results this time. Glad to hear it worked well for you before

Diana, you will need 5 a day of your cla since a serving is 3 caps @ 2.22g, and for the EPO you would need 5 a day also for 585mg. Any new Val movies coming out??? Loved his huckleberry comment in Tombstore lol cracked me up !!

aingael, WW !!!, thats great !!! Dont worry, the scale will catch up with occasional "whooshes"

I'm still fighting this viral infection, the cough just wont go away *sighs*

Hi kycowgirl,

So 5 pills of each a day then okay! Do I take them with food?

Did you ever see Val in Top Secret? It's so funny and he's really good in it!

Thanks!

Hi pals!
This weekend I was out in Kathy's part of the woods...errhh uh desert I mean. Vegas really is a fun place.

Thanks Trisha. I don't think I'm nervous, just want to do it all ready. I've conditioned myself to run double of what is required so I think I'll be just fine.

Mikki...I love Northern Ca. I would love to retire in Monterey or Carmel Ca someday! Or maybe move out there sooner and run a bed and breakfast, now wouldn't that be nice?

Glad to hear everyone is doing well. No sign of Phil or Adlma huh? Sadness.

ah now those are armadillo eggs I could eat. I visualized something totally different. I was thinking to myself, "wow, she really lives on the wild side of life" Yeah, I don't get out much...

Those sound delicious!

Evening Y'all!

I did an hour of Callanetics today and ya know, it really ENERGIZES me! I notice it is really helping my posture as well.

I'm shaking things up a bit with up and down carbs and calories to get out of the 170's. Last night I had 3 pieces of homemade whole wheat cheese pizza and today I'm not eating hardly any carbs.

How is everyone today?

Mikki-Those sound really good, hubby will like them! Just gotta buy some peppers tomorrow.


MG-Your menus always sound so yummy with all your homemade stuff!!

Trish-Hope you had a good night at work. Hubby goes on nights tomorrow, so he will stay up late tonight. I am SO happy that I bought him the wireless headphones so he can watch TV without bothering me! They work really good too!
Thanks for starting a new thread-see you there tomorrow!!

To everyone whose names I can't remember right now!! Glad to have you join us!! This is a great group!!

Night everyone-time for me to watch Deal or No Deal!!

No worries Trisha...maybe I should be nervous!


Kathy....now why on earth did I think you lived in Vegas??? So it's your DD that lives there then.


Mikki....Gosh, those armadillo eggs sound awesome! Once I'm done with next week, I'm going back on low carbing again....simply because I miss all the foods!

Happy Tuesday everyone!

Hi Everybody!!! I've missed you guys! I'm sorry I haven't been around much. This seems to happen whenever I start to lose and feel good about my body. I just don't obsess about it as much and I don't spend much time thinking about it. I'm on plan and feeling great! It's difficult to tell how much I weigh with my weekly glycogen pumps but I'm definitely slimmer and losing inches. I feel rediculously good and I heard the magic words today, "You look great! You look like you're losing weight". Which is really cool because the scale is technically only down 5 pounds as of this morning. I retain water stored in my muscles after my carb up so this is understandable. Meanwhile, I've lost another half inch off my waist as of Monday morning.

I'm in VA for a little while helping my Mom with some things. I doubt I'll be online much but I'll be sure to check in and post pics when I get home; around the 20th.

I love you guys! Will talk to you all more soon.

Oh and if anyone wants to email me, you're welcome to! I won't check the boards much over the coming weeks but I will stay on top of my email. PM me for the address, if you need.
