Have a great day everyone!

LOL i think i want to work out but, ummmm house cleaning, washing the truck, bathing the dogs, and laundry seam more appealing to me. LOL only cuz i am a lazy butt!! @ "enjoying pain" you are doing awsome though and u look great!

Hey Mikki:

You are looking SOOOO good! You are really an inspiration. I'm glad that you're having good results with the combo.

I am doing OK. Still hanging in! Today I'm cheating just a bit But I'll get back on the wagon.

I'm still doing Callanetics and I love it!! Marsha (lildragonfly) got me into it and was insprired by Lisa since she deal with fibromyalgia.

You keep rocking Mikki!!!!!!!!

I'm interested in the CLA/GLA combo...but can't seem to find the answers to my question on any of the LONG posts

Are you all still losing weight? or just inches? It seems like I saw someone post that they were only losing inches? I'm wondering if I should start this now...or wait until I have lost more numbers? Thanks for any of your help...and sorry for barging into your thread

[Justachic]

Happy Mother's Day to all the moms!!!

Trisha...have a happy and safe trip!

Thanks Phil.

Shanidy.....you aren't barging in, welcome! To answer your questions, everyone is doing their best to lose lbs and inches on the combo but of course everyone is different. Some of us have been obtaining that goal by just low carbing and doing the combo, while others are losing by doing the combo, using various fitness routines and watching what they eat. As I have learned, the combo is not a quick fix but an aid. Personally, I have lost inches and not a lot in lbs because I think I've been gaining muscle due to strength training. Everyone is different tho. If you want to lose inches, then I say start taking the combo now. If it's just about the numbers on the scale then you might want to just watch your diet and do cardio. One thing I must add is that it's been harder to lose weight each time that I have regained it. This is the 2nd time I've been taking CLA and it gets harder to lose each time. Good luck!

LOL ok ignore Toms blank post above. I forgot to log him out when I posted mine lol and had blank it out and log me in.

Heres my post

shanidy, welcome to the thread . We are always glad to have new people join us. I continue to lose weight and inches "when" I stay on plan and remember to take the combo. I havent been faithful to it for awhile but trying to get back on track. I agree with chic, this is a suppliment to good eating and some form of exercise, not a quick fix, so just keep that in mind . If you stick with it, you will most likely lose inches first, but the pounds will catch up with occasional whooshes. I actually gained a few pounds at first, while losing inches when I was working out at the gym, and my personal trainer said that was good because I was gaining lean muscle. Good luck and let us know what you decide to do and keep us posted on your progress. Glad to have you join us !!!

We are having a great time here at Ceasers casino, won a little cash and got a free buffet for Mothers Day. Glad we got this laptop lol. I'll keep y'all updated when I can. Time for bed for us, more slots to play tomorrow hehehee !!!

Sounds Like you're having a grand time Trisha! Happy Mothers Day.

Welcome Shanidy! Glad you came to visit. Hope you can stay!


I had Mom in town this weekend, ate like a hog. Diddn't take my vits, Starting a new job in less than an hour! Now I've got to figure out what I'm gonna do with myself. I really ougt to reinduct and get back to maintenance style eating like I used to do , but I'm stubborn. Mostly I just need to stick to whatever routine I decide, but I never have anything resembling a set schedule. Everyweek is vastly different. The only thing I've kept up with is the CLA, and I'm gonna pick up my GLA today. I'm sure once I start cooking good again and really get up to speed on my Callenetics and Belly dance I will see some positive ( or negative ) results.
Wish me luck at my new job today!

[iabowhunter]

Hi!

I'm just posting to confuse Chic!



and Chic....I bought her a new fishing rod and reel for river catfishing. She gets mad when I buy hunting stuff but she has no problem when I buy stuff for fishing. As long as I take her with me.

What do you like to fish for Marsha? I like fishing for Bass, channel cat and Flathead cats. My wife only likes fishing for catfish. I don't know how I got her hooked but I done did it! I think it was the first time I took her to the river. The catfish were biting like crazy!

[lildragonfly]

I love to fish for catfish, bass, stripe, crappie ,trout just about anything. I remember i was about to stick my hand in a catfish mouth one day to get hook out. My dad yelled you better not do that. Those things sting fire out of you and can bite plug out of you lol. We went to the dam and I caught a Sturgeon. It was as big as me at time ( I was 15). Nothing better than fishing in middle of night with bologna and crackers and the stars. Im a tomboy when it comes to nature. I LOVES IT!!

AMEN! Add a radio and the St. Louis Cardnials playing ball on the west coast (games usually start at 9:00 pm central and last untill midnight) and I'm in heaven. And add a couple bait buckets of live bait to that list.

I have a freezer full of deer ring balogna just waiting to be ate at the river.

I too love to fish. Here in California, we go up north to the Sierra Nevadas where there are so many lakes and streams. I think the best time to go is in the fall. Trout is mostly what I have caught.

Phil......one of the things you need to try before you pass on is go ocean fishing! You would LOVE IT! It's a bit different from what you are used to in that you can catch some pretty BIG stuff out there and when you do, your adrenaline is pumping like mad. I was on a fishing boat with my older brother when he was fishing for Marlin. Big swordfish looking thing with a pointy nose. We were just about ready head back in when the reel which is really thick spun out hard and fast. My very happy brother ended up catching a 600 pound Black Marlin! Took 2 hours to bring in and made me kind of nervous when they brought him close to the boat. With all the thrashing around and about, I thought for sure it was going to put a whole in the boat and sink us!

[lildragonfly]

That is something I want to do once at least is ocean fish.

[Justachic]

You would love it Marsha! It's such a rush out there, that's as long as you can handle being on a boat with the constant motion.
I never had a problem with boats, but helicopters! Now that's a different story!
