The brand is Herbal Select and it is CLA with Sunflower and Safflower Oil Blend. And it only cost 16.99 for 60 caps. I take 3 1000mg a day. I did 30 min. of taebo and just watched what I ate for one day! I'll keep you all posted. Talk to ya soon!

Angel! That is awesome! You definately will see huge results if you keep up the hard work. Make the connection between the exercise, eating well, getting sleep and of course CLA!

Great job!

I would think that CLA can be used along with any other kind of weight loss program. It is a beneficial supplement, so will not hurt!

If you are going to try it--commit yourself to the eating right and exercising too!

Good luck and way to go everyone!

I think as long as it is 100% safflower oil then it is suppose to be the best. Although Mandy used a blend and she has lost 5lbs in 1 week.-Roni

I don't know what the brand name is, but Sam's sells big bottle of CLA and based on how cheap their other products are, I would bet they are priced right. I am planning a trip to Sam's next week and I will check out the price. My daughter looked at BJ's but they didn't have any. I've been buying the EAS CLA at Wal-mart.

I am going to advise you all to be sure to buy the Safflower or Safflower/Sunflower blend!!!

The "sunflower" kind of CLA is just not working for me. I made a big mistake and went cheap instead of for the quality this time. About a month ago I saw the Sunflower CLA on sale so I picked it up. It is only the 600mg strength but figured I would give it a try. I am noticing a huge difference. I had my Mom run out and get me the 1000mg blend and will report back next week on how that is working. I have somehow gained a couple pounds that I cannot lose and in the past I have been able to keep on top of the pounds if they creep on--that is the beauty of CLA. So, take my advice everyone! Go for the 1000mg for sure and check the ingredients. Also, in the last few weeks I have noticed the muscle tone around my belly button is loose and it wasn't like that before, so I am really curious to see what will happen when I go back to the 1000mg.

Take care! and check in often everyone!
Robbit

I've only been on the CLA for 6 days and have lost 5#s. I haven't exercised, just cut down on my carbs. Carbs at 70 a day. Going to cut carbs more next, them exercise more. We'll see what happens! I know if I cut my carbs to 20 or below and exercised a lot with the CLA I would lose a lot at first. But I don't want to deal with a plateau yet. I wanted to see if CLA would work without any drastic changes. Starting tomorrow, I am cutting out more carbs for a week, and then my hours are changed where I finally get weekends off and am hoping to do some Tae-Bo with my daughter. I'll keep ya posted.

Good Morning eveyone. well I took 2 of the cla yesterday. The ones I bought are the GNC and they are 100 safflour ones. One question they are so big I am having a hard time swallowing them. why do they have to be so big.
and next question, is everyone taking 3 a day so thats 3000 mg ????
please let me know as I dont want to take too much.
I never saw such large gelcaps. My boyfriend said "God where do you put them. then I started to wonder. hmmmm.
have a great day.

Hi Deers and Sue:

As far as HAVING to exercise, you just really should, it seems to speed things up. Even if you are travelling there are floor exercises you can do--doesn't have to be gym stuff. This summer I was doing crunches and leg lifts in the camper!

The big study they did on CLA showed that the participants that lost the most took 3000mg a day (3 gelcaps) and that is what the bottles of TOnalin say to take. I also read online somewhere that you cannot take too much of CLA--although I would only stick to the 3 caps--why waste more? I agree they are big, but I just grab a huge mouthful of water and swallow--LOL!

I am down a pound from yesterday so that is good, my goal is to lose about 4 more to get back to where I should be!

Good luck everyone!
Robbit

Hi Robbit, thanks for the information. I will take the 3. I have had a lot of stomach surgery so I cant do any stomach exercises and that is where I need to lose it. I walk everyday so hopefully that will help me.
Im so glad you told me about this.
thanks so much.

I have been reading this board for a while now and you all are so encouraging that I decided to join. I have lost a total of 70 lbs and have 20 to go. I just started the CLA and am hoping for results as I have seem to have hit a big plateau. I am also taking the Rapid Weight Loss for women with Xantrex - only thing I have noticed so far is the diuretic aspect of it- if you know what i mean!
I have set a goal to lose this 20 by the end of the year- hopefully I can pull it off. Need the muscle tone badly!
Does anyone know of some good toning excersizes for stomach and hips????

Thanks!!!!!
