    Default All this Tonalin business.

    I first heard about Tonalin on a thread here last week or so. Being the compulsive consumer I am, I ran straight to Walgreens and bought a bottle. I've been taking it for almost a week now (I'm the picture of patience, I know lol) but I have yet to notice any difference at all. I did lose about 10 pounds quickly by eating less and increasing exercise by way of phentermine. I'm not terribly unhappy with my body, I am the thicker girl at my otherwise Barbie-esque Playboy bunny type club. I want to hang on to this because I am a woman who loves womanly curves and also that I do quite well being one of the few girls with them at my club. Turns out men like them too, I'll be damned. I am looking to target a few trouble spots that diet and exercise have not had much impact on; love handles, tummy flab, cellulite on the back of my legs just above the knee, and just generally toning up the whole shebang. Also, a little bit more of the inner thigh although my recent weight loss got it to a pretty good place when standing normally. I have really athletic legs/thighs from years of cheerleading, soccer and track but fat has built up since then that I cannot seem to lose no matter what I try. The brand is Nature's Bounty 1000 mg. The instructions say to take 2 softgels twice daily but here is my question.

    How is everyone else taking it? And when? Before the meal? Mid meal? After the meal? Time of day? How many mgs per dose? How long did it take to see results and what were the results? What areas took the shortest and longest amount of time to tone? I know that will be different from person to person based on lifestyle and genetics but call it 'in the name of research'.

    And before anyone mentions all the other posts about this, I did a search and couldn't find the information I was looking for not to mention there are 452 results containing the word 'tonalin'.

    I am attaching a couple recent pics so you can see what I'm talking about as far as body wise. Ignore the bruises on my thigh, I am the clumsiest person I know.

    Thanks in advance for any advice and info

    I take the GNC brand. I switched to the a different brand once when I was to lazy to drive to the GNC, and my body went downhill. If it is working you should notice that your skin is crazy soft in addition to your body being more toned. I think the brand i switched to was natrol. I would research the brands becuase it does make a difference, and if you want more results i would try a new brand. I can vouch for the gnc brand.

    Also, the GNC brand is 2,000 mg pills.

    I think the norm is to take like 6,000 mg a day. I take 8,000 a day. I dont think to much of whether i take it before or after a meal... im a bit lazy in this department so i am not quite sure how it affects it you.

    And as with any diet supplement, you need to also eat healthy and excersise to see improvement.

    i can see a difference in the two pics you posted just a couple of weeks apart! you are doing something right, keep up the good work!
    The best thing i have heard in a strip club to date:
    customer: we should get married right now! we should get a shotgun marriage!
    me: uhh... i think you are misunderstanding what a shotgun marriage means. A shotgun marriage means you knock me up and my daddy shows up at your door with a gun and forces you to marry me and raise the baby. You mean elope.
    customer: hmm... nah actually i will take the shotgun marriage. At least then we would be having sex.

    It might work for you. I just noticed it worked less for me than the GNC brand. If you start taking it after not taking any then it might make a positive difference.

    Its only 1200 mg per softgel, so should I take more than 3 a day?

    hmm i looked up old posts on tonalin. A lot girls seemed to like natrol. I found a poll on what brand people use: http://forum.stripperweb.com/showthread.php?t=50299 and a lot use natrol. Maybe i didnt take enough or maybe there was something else effecting my body.

    Do you take tonalin now? I would start out with the 3 a day and see how that works for you, and if you feel like you need more then up the dosage. Everyones body processes things differently. Some girls on here said tonalin did wonders and others say it had bad side effects. For me it has helped with muscle definition and soft skin, although its not necessarily a miracle drug.

    The brand! Crap I can't believe I didn't think about that! I have a friend in medical school who always calls to update me on some new thing he thinks I should know and of course our last conversation was about paying attention to brands and labels, supplements were given special recognition. Guess I'm making a GNC trip today

    Oh and how long did it take to start noticing anything? Like the softer skin?

    i think i noticed softer skin after a week. When i started taking it i was eating really unhealthy, and i think taking the tonalin added some good fats that were completely nonexistent in my diet so i think that might be why i had results quickly.

    It looks like you have already had some results. Give it a couple of more weeks... body improvement typically takes time and effort. things dont happen overnight.

    I have been taking phentermine as a (temporary) appetite suppressant until I could get my ridiculous, even borderline compulsive eating habits back under control. I think a lot of the difference in the pics could be because of that. I don't really see it but its me. Now that my eating habits have stabilized I have reduced the phentermine and been incorporating tonalin but have yet to see even an inkling of its effects. I suppose I'm basing my expectations off seeing posts like "I've been taking it a week and I lost 40 lbs!!!" Okay, thats an exaggeration but I do see a staggering number of posts claiming its a miracle drug.

    I'm sure I am being impatient as I tend to be. When thinking about it a little more, it could all be psychosomatic. Then again, it could be a brand issue like you mentioned and I need to switch it up. My guess is its a little bit of both.

    Also, I take five of the Natrol a day..at 1,200 mg each.

    This is probably a dumb question, but here goes. Where do you get phentermine from? I googled it and it said that is was pulled off the market and that its a controlled substance in most countries, but that didn't give me a definitive answer.

    ^^That's not a dumb question. I may be playing devil's advocate here and I don't know about anywhere else but in OKC it is perfectly legal and reasonably accessible. I heard about word of mouth from other dancers. Its available at a lot of the little walk in clinics around town.

    I would say if anybody is reading this and decides to take it I would HIGHLY recommend starting with half the dose per day. I would also recommend only taking it short term. Like 30 days at the most. I had a boss not long ago who took large doses for a long time and was, by all reasonable definition, insane. Would discourage anybody with addictive tendencies to stay the hell away from this one. I would read all the information you can gather before starting. I was not prepared for the depression, rash (although mild), and especially the extremely heightened increase in desire. Well I say desire, but it was really an inconvenient and annoying.. uhh.. persistent stimulation haha.

    All in all, it achieved what I wanted; suppressing my appetite until I could get it back to a healthy and controlled pattern. Whatever you do, don't rely on this as a sole source of meeting weight loss goals. I consider it a "kick start" and nothing more.
