Default I hope I didn't waste my money

I bought some Relora today, the reports I've researched say it does work, but somehow I'm feeling like I wasted money. Has anyone used this product before with good results. I've read a few posts going both ways.

Thanks.

Check out the suppliemnts forum for huge threads on relora and more often relacore. I think there was even a poll where 50% said they say no results while another 50% did. Of those that did it was an even split between those that saw inches lost as well as weight and those that only saw inches or weight lost.

I took a generic cortaslim and it did seem to help. The major ingredient though was green tea so I got nasty reflux. I want ot try the relacore, but the cost is just to out there for me to justify.

Thanks Ladybelle - I also looked at relacore, but like you, thought it was too expensive.

Hi Vikki,

I'm buying Relora tonight along with CLA and will start both tomorrow. I finally lost a pound after a 2.5 month stall, but gained 1.5" around my waist! I have been under a tremendous amount of stress lately, have been complaining of exhaustion for weeks, and generally felt like crap lately! So if this can help any or dare I hope all of those symptoms I'll be thrilled. Make sure you measure today to see if you get results with inches lost! I'll let you know how it goes for me. Keep me posted on your results too please!

I added Relora when I added CLA, so I'm not sure which one or if both helped move the scale for me. (My money is on the CLA.) I've read good things about both. I also began limiting some dairy and calories shortly after I started taking them.

I lost 3 lbs in two weeks, breaking a 7+ month stall. I feel calmer, also. Considering I've spent more on some multivitamins I've tried, I think Relora is definately worth the price.

Hope you have good results!

Bon

I'll let you know how I'm doing, hopefully I'll see / feel something some results soon. What is CLA?

Hi Vikki,

How is the relora working? I still haven't found any locally. I'm heading to a walmart tonight about 15 miles away as I've heard folks have been finding it there.

I just started taking CLA 2 days ago. Not sure if it's doing anything yet, but supposedly it will help burn fat better. I could sure use that!
