    I have been on it for about 6 months. You have to be super-consistent, or you will backslide. I look a lot more toned than I did before I started taking it, but have not lost a lot of actual weight. My cellulite is almost non-existent and my hair and skin are super soft.

    It is important which brand you take, I'm not sure exactly why. Trader Joes and Vitamin shoppe brands did nothing for me. I think I like Natrol the best. Ther eis a post somewhere around here wher esomebody took a poll on the favoroite brands.

    There actually is a difference in the various brands of CLA out there. Most of the commercial ones have different isomers than the CLA that was used in the various lab tests. NOW is the only brand I know of that uses the test isomers, but I'm sure a few others do to.

    That is great for me because i dont need to lose weight im already 110 and 5'5 but i need to get my tummy toned. Ever since having my daughter i havent been able to have the abs i used to. Even with crunches and cardio. My CLA doesnt have a name on it at all. It does say 2000 mg though, i thought the norm was 1000 mg. Also it says to take 2 pills twice a day. Thats 8000 mg. Seems like alot to me

    Check the label and see how much CLA there is in each capsule. Usually in a 1000mg cap, 70% is going to be CLA. You want to take in between 4-5 grams per day.

    all i really feel like it's doing for me is shrinking my butt. And my butt does not need to be shrunk. I'll see how it goes and hopefully it will shrink my thighs instead.

    I was taking IronTek brand, 3000 mg/day for about 6 months. The only result is that my skin felt softer. I just upped it a couple weeks ago to Vitamin Shoppe brand and am taking 6000 mg/day. I hope it's not affecting my periods because I seem to bleed more but I already had female problems so it may not be related. I might stop taking it if I don't see results after this bottle because it doesn't seem worth it. My trainer told me not to take it too.

    It had a HUGE affect on me. Everyone in the club kept saying "Sunshine, you lost weight!!" Like it was a mantra or something LOL! I am wondering iff it had a huge affect on me due to the fact that I am a vegatarian...CLA is found in meat, and I haven't eaten meat in 14 years. Once I started taking CLA it took about a month to see results. But I eat healthy and work out too.
    I use Natrol or Swanson brand.

    YEs, I am also a veggie, for about 8 years now. That might explain why it works so well for us, but might not be so noticable to some other people.

    Also took about a month to see results, if I remember correctly.

    I feel like the TOnalin makes my workouts do motr for me. Since I get to the gym irregualrly, that is important. IT also made my boobs perk up a little (noticable only to me and hubby!). And of course the cellulite is gone. I have always had very soft skin, but now custys actaully PET me ocasionally and just RAVE about my skin. ("Oh, Jim! Touch this girl! Really, just touch her arm. She is SOOOOOO soft!')

    ^ LOL Yeah, about the soft skin- to max out the softness, take L-Glutamine too. People will treat you like the family housecat.
    I go on and off Tonalin....Swanson and Wal-Mart's Rexall brand seem to work very well. I think I was primed for CLA because I always drank my milk...
    The crummy part is that the cellulite will sneak back onto you thighs if you stop taking it & stop working out...I look in the mirror and think, Dang, that cellulite snuck up on me...LOL

    I'm staring to wonder if the reason I've been bleeding more is the Tonalin. I'll give it through this bottle and if no change in my dimply ass I'll quit taking it.

    I've been on Tonalin since February of 2004, it took one month for me to see results. I swear by this stuff.. my skin and hair are super super soft..

    When I started on Tonalin I was 148, I'm now 116 give or take a few.. I have no more pictures in the gallery becuase of what I currently do as a day job, but I was never really "fat", but just bigger than I wanted to be.. now, I'm a bit more thinner, but I like my size much more.

    I also eat no fast food, drink a ton of water, I don't drink any soda, and the only weakness I have is Jacobs (german brand) coffee.. I also run an average of 40-50 miles per week. This stuff gave me that boost and I have NO cellulite at all.

    I took it for about two weeks, and I could swear that I actually ballooned up a little. I felt a little more plump in the middle, but then returned to normal after I stopped taking it. Plus, I had a LOT more frequent bowel movements.

    Gynger, if you posted it I missed it. What brand do you take? Maybe that is my problem. It doesn't do anything I can tell except make my skin soft.

    Remember, you need to up your protein for CLA to really kick in, so make sure you're eating enough protein.

    As Gynger said, the ProPerformance line of Tonalin CLA from GNC is excellent.
    Idealism is fine, but as it approaches reality, the costs become prohibitive.

    I took GNC's brand, but I was wondering if anyone is taking Rexell from Wal-Mart? I bought it because it's so cheap....but I'm wondering if GNC is better..

    Well, I might try GNC next. I do think I eat enough protein but I'm going to start writing down everything I eat. I'm just really frustrated. It's like my body does not want to let go of my fat thighs and butt and little tummy spot.

    The best way I've found to keep track of the food I eat is on www.fitday.com . It's cool because its all online, you can access it from any pc and it's free. I use it to make sure I eat enough protein and stay under my target calories for the day. They have a huge database of food items, plus you can add your own custom. It's very helpful when you're trying to lose weight.

    Amity, I started out with the Reall from WalMart and now I'm using the Natrol since the Rexall ran out. I only use the Tonalin brand and high amounts of CLA...with safflower, not sunflower.

    I was using Hydroxycut but the only thing it was doing was making me not eat. I started with Walmarts tonalin about 3 weeks ago and at first I was pretty gaseous and had more frequent bowel movements and today I am noticing that my belly pooch has flattened a bit and that is pretty good for 3 weeks. I haven't really worked out except using my ab roller but I noticed my skin is looking smoother.

    I read another post about taking Milk Thistle with it but I am still not really convinced why. I wouldn't mind taking something else to increase my energy because I haven't really found that Tonalin does that. Maybe it's not a good idea to take something else???? I don't know.
