Oh ah hah, OK I was thinking the stuff I was going to buy was just a topical + adding the forskilli topically (but that will affect my system too somewhat right?) I don't want to lose the little boob fat that I have. I was just wanting to put it on the love handles on the top of my butt and the old lady arm flab. Its not a large amout of fat. like maybe 1" on the hip. sorry I'm confused now (is boob fat estrogenic fat?)

I can definately do the topical first thing in the morning and a tiny workout. I work from home so no problem there. I can not fast & workout any other time or I will likely pass out from low blood sugar (idk if im insulin resistant, or sensitive, or just have a high metabolism)

The only time I ever had my blood sugar tested was the pregnancy one and I was at 60 1 hr after the glucose, and started feeling pretty icky on the drive home like I might pass out. Pregnancy did make it worse though, so maybe now I would be like 80? idk. I know if I tried the Atkins diet I would die quickly lol.

Anyways I'm rambling now lol. Thanks so much for all the help Moccachino You rock!

I'm not sure what you mean by that. If you're asking whether you have to take them internally, don't worry, you don't, but insulin can still negate the effect of the yohimbine even though you're using it topically. Everything that you use topically, no matter what it is, will have at least a little bit of a systemic effect. What you don't want is for the yohimbine to build up to the point that is has an equal effect on your whole body. Bodybuilders say that if you use it for 4 days on and 3 days off, it won't become fully systemic. In other words, some of it will circulate in your bloodstream, but the effect will still be mostly localized in the tummy region. At least that's the idea, but it made me wonder how they would know whether it had gone fully systemic or not. I suspect that the topical use, and the breaks, are a way of using yohimbine along with certain other stimulants (especially ephedrine) without feeling sick. If that's the case, then they really would be able to tell if it had gone fully systemic or not (because if it had they would feel sick). I hope that's right. You could use it on Mon-Thurs and skip the 3 day weekend. That's what I was planning to do myself, before I decided to wait.

OK perfect. I would only be doing topicals. Maybe I will so it 4 days next month when I am on my period and see what happens...then maybe again after 2 weeks....oooh I cant wait )))

I'm confused again Why are you going to try it and then wait 2 weeks before trying it again? I'm excited to see if it works for you I hope you keep careful notes.

I may also consider this at some point in the future, although this is not presently economically feasible.... waitaminute, dang legalese garbage. I just got done sending an email to my loan disbursement agency, so my mind was still in legalese mode....

Anyhoooooo... Yeah. I'd love to try this too. But I can't afford it right now.

I reaaaaaallllly need to find a way to target my danged midsection flab...

Really? I've just realized I'm most likely insulin resistant, so does this pretty much mean I shouldn't be bothering with my Yohimbine cream?

I've got pictures! I took pictures of my corset (I'll be making a seperate corset, thread, so I'll be uploading them there), when I came across an old tummy pic of mine. So now to compare!

The first picture is from when I was almost at a 28" waist, and the second one is from today at an even 26" waist. I got these great results just from taking probiotics and digestive enzymes, in addition to a more carb-friendly diet for my recently discovered insulin resistance. Unbelievably, it was pretty much all bloating. I have dropped down from 128lbs to 125lbs in the past two weeks, and even though that was about half body fat, the only thing that really made a noticeable difference in my stomach was the bloating.

I think the only reason I've been able to burn off any of this fat is because of my low-carb diet and my daily dose of L-Carnitine. It's a miracle it happened at all; I thought with my insulin resistance, diet pills might be my only answer! ^^;

[AbiDrew85]

You used to have a little bit of a double waist going on too... I guess there's hope for me eh?

I just need to burn it off somehow...

[mochaccino]

Doll, theoretically it should still work fine, as long as you use the yohimbine cream first thing in the morning and you don't eat extremely late dinners or get up in the middle of the night to snack. I think I remember you saying that you use it as a mask and let it absorb for a while. If that's the case, then maybe you can get up extra early to put the mask on and then go back to sleep. It's less convenient then doing it before bed, but it'll probably work better.

I guess I am not sure how long it will take to see results and Its only a small amount I need to loose, so I will try it little at a time. I dont want it to build up in my system for sure, so I want to be carefull with that. I'll definately be taking notes. The boob growth is more important to me than the arms or hips. I feel like I could work them off pretty easily, but not without completely loosing my boobs, so maybe this will help at least get rid of a tiny amount in those areas.

Darn, I use mine in the middle of the day as a workout wrap. :/ Maybe on days I don't workout, I can just use it in the morning instead. I usually don't eat until later in the day anyway, so leaving it on in the morning for a few hours before I eat won't be a problem at all. I don't usually eat past 9pm, so it should work then. I'm just upset that I've been using it in the middle of the day all this time and now I'm already getting close to the bottom of the bottle. Oh well, once I run out of this stuff I'll probably try something different anyway, just because the Yohimbine is such a hassle to put together.
