~*~" Waist'ing Away" with CLA/GLA... April 2008~*~

[lildragonfly]

Hello, I bought a bottle of Mega CLA 1200.

The label in the back says CLA... 1200 mg,
but the line under it says: st. 1:1 c9-t11:t10-c12... 888mg

So, is it 888 or 1200?

I'm thinking of taking about 3,600mg a day. Is that reasonable? I have like 10# of weight loss to go. I see people talking about like 5-6 pills/day. That seems like a lot. Is it that you tried a lower amt of pills and just didn't see results until you started with the higher doses?

MMof2 - I sure hope you and DH are all better quick! Enjoy your time with DD!

Mikki - Have a GREAT weekend!

Lil - Callan Bud! I still strive to get the great results you have. I have company coming, so I am cleaning like my life depends on it. I fear I won't get my hour in today. That means I need to put in an hour on Sunday! My tummy seems to have grown, while my bottom seems to have shrunk. Huuuuum.

Trish - Where R U and Tom??!!

Chic - I know you will have a great weekend!

MG - I know you will have a great weekend too!

LowCarb& - Welcome!

Phil - Not seeing you as much on here. I hope life is treating you well.

Everyone - Have a great weekend!

I can vouch for that! If you had two pictures side by side it you would clearly see that your belly is much higher than before. Everything inside is lifting and then it collapses inward.

Stick with it, Adlma! Callanetics is the bomb! Yeah yeah... so if I know that why am I going to the gym? LOL Because I love to lift weights these days, that's all. But when I remember the best body of my life I was doing Callanetics.

[ADLMA]

Lil & Swinglow - I am sooooo looking forward to the "shrink" part!

Swinglow - I am still doing resistance Pilates with the Callan too. I think we are all trying to get peak results! ROL!

Hello peeps!

I thought i would check in with you all this weekend before the day gets crazy!! My DH is taking my DD, and DS to their shooting match today and im gonna relax all day LOL i dont get many days of that Nothin too new to report on being a looser, i havent weighed in a lil bit.

I went to the store yesterday and ran in to one of my old friends, OMG she flipped out cuz the last time i saw her i had only lost 30 lbs, and now im down 63....LOL she even gave me a hug. I was Laffin at her, she said she wants to be on the combo but she dosent have the will power to stay on it. So i dunno if she is gonna try it or not.

Well i need to go eat b-fast, ( 2 poached eggs, and toast ) but i will check back later today.

Have a great day!

Thanks ADLMA.....my weekend went pretty well. Friday I was a bit on the emotional side for some reason unknown but I went with it for a little bit then pulled myself out of it. A dear friend of mine came over with dinner and cheered me right up. Good girlfriends are essential in life!

Denise....I agree with what you are saying about going to the gym. It feels good. It's such a boost to be around others who are doing the same, it's like there is energy in the air that keeps everyone moving with common goals. Plus there are some nice "things" to look at if ya know what I mean.
I too want to try mixing it up and getting into something that will change my routine. It sounds like callan is really working for everyone and I have yet to try it but I think my next adventure in exercise will be a Cardio Kickboxing class that is set up in a Mixed Martial Arts gym across town. It's supposed to be a killer workout that includes learning basic striking skills, along with Plyometrics, Stability Ball Training, Yoga and Pilates to increase flexibility, balance, and core strength. Hee hee, I'm excited!

Here's wishing everyone a fantastic week to come!

Hi All,
I haven't posted in a while.. work has just been too crazy, but I do try to keep up with the posts the best that I can. I just ordered some new CLA plus Clarinol from Netrition and opened the new bottle this morning. For some reason, it's not thick and creamy like usual, and it's almost like water. Do any of you know what causes this and whether or not it will efffect anything?

[ADLMA]

Chic - I was wondering what you would do next with your amazing mind. Now, I know. Wow! It sounds like fun.

[terrioso]

Hi everyone,
Has anyone noticed that certain brands work better than others? I originally bought both the CLA and GLA at Walmart and had very good results--about 5 inches lost in first 2wks or so. Then I bought both from Puritans Pride--had a really good sale--but even though I have been taking it religiously I dont see the same results. Or could it be that after time it kinda stops working? I think after I finish the PP bottles I will go to Walmart, even if more $$ the loss of fat is worth it.

Sorry if this has already been discussed, doing this at work and shouldn't take the time to read through all the posts.

Thanks in advanced.

[Justachic]

Wish you could be my kickboxing partner ADLMA, we would have fun! Coach Bear (that's his name) said that one woman came in and lost 60 lbs in 3 months! By the way, we don't kick or punch each other, just the pads and bags. I'm sure to come home whipped. My neighbor friend says she is going to join me in this class but I won't believe until I see it.

[mikkimouse]

Chic... Looks like fun!!!



UMMMMMM whers everyone at?

[iabowhunter]

I'm in the timber hunting turkey...in my mind. Damn muddy roads!!!

[iabowhunter]

Chic...So are you going to continue running and do kickboxing?

I'd like to know people's experience with effectiveness long-term as well.

(I had, believe it or not!, read all the CLA/GLA posts a while back -- just don't recall the specifics on this question.)

Thanks!

My long lost friend Phil! How are ya? Well, I have to be honest, I don't care for running all that much. It is fantastic for burning fat and you really do feel good when you are in the middle of it but I think I'm just going to do the kickboxing for a bit. I trained for and ran the 5K becuz I made it a goal and stuck with it to the end. But now it's on to other things.

Mikki....come do this class with me tonight. My neighbor flaked like I knew she would!

[lildragonfly]

Id love to do that class. Sounds so great!!

So true Chic!! My best girlfriend from jr high just moved here from CA. We are busy planning her 2nd wedding-I am the maid of honor(I was her maid of honor for the 1st one, too-her dh passed away 3 yrs ago) We are having a blast looking at dresses, flowers and cakes!!! I have some weight to lose for this wedding!!! I have 4 months.
We went to the gym this morning and walked a mile-taking it easy for a few more weeks to let my back heal. It felt so LAME walking at 2 mph! Slow, slow, slow-I KNOW! Hubby keeps telling me!!!!
That cardio kickbox class looks fun! I was taking one here before I got hurt but it doesn't involve bags or pads. We use strength bands, stability balls, and weights. At the end of the class we do 15 mins of abs and 10 mins stretching. Can't wait to start that class again!!

daveri-Awhile back some of the CLA'ers were complaining about the same problem. Apparently it's made by different manufacturers and the new batch was like this. Not supposed to change how it works though. I think netrition was going to discontinue that particular type-they were recommending something else-you would probably have to go back to the last CLA/GLA thread to see what it was-unless Trisha pops in SOON(where are you Trish???) she knows what the new stuff is called. HTH!

[Justachic]

Glad to hear you are having fun planning a wedding with your friend Kathy. Don't feel bad about the 2 miles per hour. Before you know it you'll be back doing everything.

Wish you could come and do it with me Marsha!

Gotta run now.....and kick and punch, etc etc.

Night all!

[Justachic]

I'm back from 1 of my 2 free classes!!! It was great! I learned the stance and how to jab and hook punch. The next class I will learn how to kick using knees and feet. We worked with partners and hit the bag for awhile and then we did some ab work. We also ran a little bit around the gym. It was great, the only thing I'm concerned about is the price. I'm not sure if I can afford it along with my regular 24 Hour Fitness Gym dues. The people were really cool and it felt very family oriented with the members. If I continue to go I have to say I'M REALLY LOOKING FWD TO PURCHASING PINK BOXING GLOVES!!!! HEE HEEEEEEEEE!

[ADLMA]

Chic - Now you got all of us wanting to join the class with you! Boy, you are going to be able to whooop anyone! We'll need photos of you in action! I wish I could go with you!

[Justachic]

ADLMA......LOL
I don't know about whoopin on anyone but it sure feels like I could have after my workout! Would love to have you join me.

[mikkimouse]

Hey all you loosers!!!!

[michelemomof2]

Hi everyone......just a fly by..........

MIL is still in the hospital...we still have her dog here with us and she is a handful and I am slowly feeling better but my right rib is either bruised or cracked due to coughing so hard and it hurts to move. Other than that, life is great, weight is the same and all that good stuff.

I hope you are all doing well.
