~*~" Waist'ing Away" with CLA/GLA... March 2008 ~*~ - Page 4

Trish - The scales needs only a temporary pardon, as it is still fibbin'! I honestly think you are lighter than that. Trish, you can also have fruit for breakfast once a week, in the morning.

How did you like Portillo's hotdogs??? Did you try any stuffed pizza anywhere? Yummmmmy! DH and I would go down to Rush St and other areas and just sit around and people watch. Christmas time is beautiful there too. The store windows are amazing. I'm really glad you got a taste of Chicago! We need to get back there.

I am in Schaumburg as we speak Chic! I work at the Schaumburg Corporate Center-small world!

mamalaurie · 03-03-2008, 08:43 AM

Trisha I hear you about the scale. Sometimes I'd swear there's an evil

minded devil in mine

I finally put it away

, it was having to large an effect on my moods for the day, week,etc.

I love the "bath island is sinking" I never thought of mine as an Island, more like a mountain in the pacific

mikkimouse: Oh your poor fingers

ADLMA · 03-03-2008, 08:50 AM

Mikki - Make sure you keep the tigers warm!

lildragonfly · 03-03-2008, 11:28 AM

This refeed day is very difficult for me. I feel guilty eating good foods but adding in the extra carbs. I really need a vacation retreat.

kimbo232 · 03-03-2008, 01:05 PM

hi all, this is my first post although i've been lurking for a couple weeks now. i have read alot of the posts on the cla/gla combo and thought i'd give it a try. i just got my order in from netrition and have read the first post in this thread regarding dosage, but i just want to make sure i got it right before taking. my cla is from horizon (?) and says tonalin 1000. am i right that i take 5 of these daily? the borage oil is from now and i'm figuring 4 of these. i take these all at once right before or with a meal correct? these pills are HUGE!!! are there other brands out there that are smaller or maybe more concentrated? i'll get used to it if i have to but these things are sitting on the counter as i type and man, i'm not looking forward to having to swallow these babies LOL.
and one more thing. am i supposed to take this combo for X amount of time and lay off for a bit, or is it an ongoing thing? the answer is probably in here somewhere but there's so many posts it's hard to go through them all.
thanks in advance for any help/advise you have. i've already lost close to 20lbs but the supplement thing is new to me and i'm clueless.

mikkimouse · 03-03-2008, 01:23 PM

Thanks mamalaurie.... my fingers were really red once they thawed out!!!

Awww Aldma thanks you should have seen the tigers this am my Daughter had them covered up on her bed under the blankets!!! LOL

I will BBL

to all my LC buddies...

LOL. I didn't have a hotdog nor did I have pizza. I ate a bacon cheeseburger and fries at Portillo's. A couple guys had a full rack of ribs. As good as they sound, I wasn't going to pay 20 bucks for them. I'm cheap.

We ran out of time so I never got the chance to experience Gino's East. I was hopeing to fit them in later that night but never made it. I sure wanted to though. I hope to go to a tool show in Chicago in September so maybe then.

With so many here with roots in Chicago we all ought to meet there some time.

I got to go figure out what's for dinner. All this talk about food has made me a wee bit hungry. I need to go workout to. This might be interesting since I pulled something in my shoulder when I was streching Saturday at Moody.

kycowgirl · 03-03-2008, 03:27 PM

kimbo, welcome to the thread. Congrats on the 20 lb loss so far. Check the back of the bottle for the actual cla content and go from there. you need 3400mg cla a day. The front content is also fillers. You can take them all at once or split them up and you do not have to cycle off like with some other stacks. I dont know of any gla that is more concentrated. maybe someone else does

Michele, you should come here. Its 68 today !!! Heavy rain and flood watch out tonight and tomorrow though

Marsha, I cant tell you what visual I get when I hear refeed lol Just sounds yucky

lol

Phil, hope that shoulder is ok

Time for me to go to work again, seeya all tomorrow !!!

lildragonfly · 03-03-2008, 03:47 PM

Evening all!!

That my baby in that pic. His name is Jaydee. He weighs 3 lbs.
Well been rotten day so I hope tomorrow better.

to all

I think you have a great idea here Phil. It is smack dab in the middle of the country so would make a good spot for a gathering

MountainGirl · 03-03-2008, 04:29 PM

Good evening peeps!!

I'm glad to have found y'all again. I kinda got lost.

MARSHA!! WOWSERS!! Those pics are awesome! WOWOWOWOWOW!
And you only lost inches, not weight?? Amazing. I wanna be like you!

Here's the song from Jungle Book which sings my sentiments:

Oh, oobee doo
I wanna be like you
I wanna walk like you
Talk like you, too
You'll see it's true
An ape like me
Can learn to be human too

MountainGirl · 03-03-2008, 04:34 PM

Hey all!

CHICAGO! Our eldest son lives and works in Chicago. I've never been. I'd love to visit him there. He spends most of his off-time in ChinaTown.

Phil: What an awesome testimony. I so appreciate you posting about it! Praise G-d!

Hey Diana, you;re one of us now hon!

Metqa: I'm so sorry about your gardening stuff. I pray it gets recovered.

Lisa and Marsha: What would you recommend for me (OUT OF SHAPE and FIBRO AND BIGGGGG BELLY) for which Callanetics to start with? Is the 10/10 for the tummy? What about the AM/PM one or the Quick Stomach?

Does the 10/10 target the tummy?

Hi to everyone! Hugs and hugs!

lildragonfly · 03-03-2008, 04:35 PM

Thank you MG

Yep inches only weight still the same lol. I even had someone tell me today how skinny I was getting. Lady I work with daughter is a trainer and she said im built like her that i muscle quick. So I hope all this fat turns to muscle lol. She said she is 165 and wears a 4. So hey Im all down with that lol.

MG_ I would start with either 10 in 10 or Callanetics Evolution. The eveo one has beginner moves and intermediate as well as advanced. And they all work on tummy. She uses all muscles but upper body like arms in there.

MountainGirl · 03-03-2008, 04:36 PM

OK, I LOVE the Jungle Book song I posted. Here it is on You Tube:

I'm 179 and in a 16-wish I could lose 14 lbs and be in a size 4!!!

lildragonfly · 03-03-2008, 04:50 PM

Im 189 and in 10s. Now if I could get rid of the boobs. ( sorry guys)

MountainGirl · 03-03-2008, 04:55 PM

harrummmmpf.

I'm 175 and STILL in an 18 and my boobs are gone. (Sorry guys). My belly and back carry all the weight.

But, I'm short and stocky.

I have a hard time thinking someone weighs 165 and is in a size 4, unless they are really, really tall.

MountainGirl · 03-03-2008, 04:56 PM

So Marsha,

What a good Callanetics DVD for me and one that targets the BELLY? Does the 10/10? (I can only buy one.)

And what are zebras?

iabowhunter · 03-03-2008, 04:57 PM

I'm 290something (I didn't weigh this morning...running late) and I can bench press a volkswagen!

A Hot Wheels volkswagen that is.

If you could only of heard the testimony at Moody last weekend! That was awesome!

lildragonfly · 03-03-2008, 05:04 PM

Well mine just shrank from 42 d to 38d lol. The trainer girl is built like me a bulldog. Broad shoulders and thins out toward hips lol.

MG- I would say 10 in 10. It targets all lower body including abs. Zebras she ws referring to is leg cramps like charlie horses.

FreeingMyself · 03-03-2008, 05:14 PM

Hiya guys!
Hope everyone is doing well tonight!
I am going to bed early...thanks TOM

I did my Callan which is good since I didn't "feel" up to it this morning, but made myself do it. I HAVE to get DH to take pics before I keep doing it and have no "befores" Probably tonight and then I will wait for another 10 workouts and take a pic after every 10 hours I think??

For the record I am 161.5lbs(prior to TOM) and fit an 8 and a tight 6

I told DH I would just love if Callan toned up all my jigglies even if I stay the same weight

I want to have an athletic look not an anorexic look, but that's just me

I am also pleased as I worried that my reduced boobies would go down after more weight loss, but hasn't happened, they just look bigger now that I am smaller which is great! I love the effects of the reduction I had except the scars, but they are fading quickly!!

Phil- Congrats on being able to bench press a car...even hot wheels

MG-

How are you???? I LOVE Jungle Book!! Bought it on DVD for DS, he thinks it's great too!!

Trisha- Hope you have a good night at work!

Chic- I am going back to running as my cardio...at least 2-3 times a week

I miss it and the Callan Cardio is great, but I HATE doing videos all of the time and it's getting gorgeous out here!

Jimzgrl- i actually wish my breasts would have gone with my weight loss, but to no avail

So
