& i'm taking 5 a day..am i getting enough? i know the label on the kind from walgreens matched what the other board said i needed..& silly me didnt think to check the math on the walmart kind..& i dont have a walgreens bottle to compre the two..dang it.

For what you're taking, 2 softgels, 82% of 2000mg is 1640mg of CLA. For 6 softgels would be 4920mg, subtract 1 due to taking 5 softgels gives you 4100mg. Looks good.

If the directions on your bottle says to take the two 3x a day, then it's fine that you add another one so you would be taking six.

I'm so excited/nervous..and its even more stressful bc I feel like I'm counting ever else,every hour,every carb,every calorie..ah.. wow. I know no one is gonna care but I can't wait to post my pictures haha. Keep your fingers crossed for me that my dress still fits (well) on the big day and i manage to keep confident in Jamaica and wear a swimsuit.

Can I get some help from you all,please?
I want to go to Wal-Mart this weekend and buy these supplements. But I haven't got a clue what to buy,which, how much,etc.,nothing.
I promise I am not as dumb as I sound.
Is there any way y'all can tell me exactly what to buy at Wal-Mart. I have to take all 4 kids with me. So if I can slip over to that aisle,get what I need and walk away. It would be a Godsend.
Thank you in advance!!!

Look for borage oil (smaller bottle) and cla,will say cla toning formula..its in a yellow bottle,taller and slim. I'll let you know the brands that are at mine tomorrow...there's only one to chose from at mine,but it'll make ot easier to know the brand too.

oh & i have bumped my CLA up to 6 a day (3 with breakfast 3 with lunch) for the last 2 days...1st day after i took the ones with lunch i noticed that my hunger was completely controlled & i didnt really eat much dinner that night. yesterday it kind of made my stomach uneasy..but its hard to say if it was the cla or my nerves..but both days i've had way more energy in the afternoons after i take my 2nd dose.
i may be peeing all this out & it may all be in my head but i like cla/gla :]
and! MY scale finally said 129 this am..out of the 130s! i weighed at my moms last weekend & it said 127, but i think hers is a bit light so i only go by mine :]

yay!

I just wanted to post in this thread because I was in a stall and started taking CLA/GLA on Tuesday and have since lost 4 lbs. I am also taking 1 TBS of Coconut Oil. I am totally FLOORED! I was seeing absolutely no movement on the scale and I swear it's this combination of supplements! Reading everyone's posts helped me come to the decision to take these and I am so glad. I got my pills at the Vitamin Shoppe. I take 6 CLA and 4 Borage Oil. Seems to be helping me!

[loveispeakincode]

woohoo!

Ok seems like it's the 5HTP with the cla that's causing the nausea, not the cla alone.

I am interested in following everyone with the CLA/GLA . I am eventually going to order the supplements online when I have enough in my PAYPAL account, until then I did pick up something at Walgreens that had just the CLA in it. Started taking it today. I am actually hoping to get one of the side effects because I tend to get constipation on Atkins. ( sorry about TMI)

I am also going to be taking 5HTP because I have read that it allows your body to make its own tryptophan to aid sleeping. I have trouble getting to sleep and staying asleep and a little help in that department would surely be welcome.

Thank you for letting me tag on to your thread and thank you for sharing your experiences. I hope "loveis" wedding and honeymoon went well for her, and hope she checks in to tell us!~
