I received my Lipoburn in the mail today as I was anticipating. Label looks nice and I want to again thank the Legal Gear staff for allowing me to test their product. Now on to the beginning...
<b> First Impression: </b>
As said, the label looks nice...I like the lock on the pump there is no worry of it spilling, etc. I was more so expecting a more gel-like texture, but it was inbetween a watery substance and a gel. The best way I can put the texture/smell of the product is that it looks/feels/smells like a mixture of orange scented cum and gasoline. This is not necessarily a bad thing, but that is the best way for me to describe it. I applied a small bit today just because I was excited, product dried very quickly and I had no tingling/burning sensation.
<b> About me:</b>
This is the first Legal Gear product I have ever used..Also the first transdermal fatloss cream I have used-so I am new to this, but an unbiased review will be presented from me..now my stats:
Age: 18
Height: 5'10
Weight: 210
Bodyfat: 14%
<b> Routine:</b>
Monday: Lift AM, HIIT(2,16,2) PM
Tuesday: HIIT PM
Wednesday: Lift AM, Med. Intensity Cardio PM
Thursday: HIIT PM
Friday: Lift AM, HIIT PM
Now you may wonder why all my cardio is in the evening- it's simply because that is when I feel the most like running. I also have more time at night.
<b> Diet:</b>
My diet isn't the same everyday, but here is an example of what I eat most of the time:
8:30 am- Total Protein w/ FF Carb Countdown Milk
11:30 am- Turkey/Ham/or Tuna Sandwich on "Wheat n' Fiber"
2:30 pm- Same
5:30 pm- Really varies..this is normally supper with my family
8:30 pm- Tuna w/ "Just 2 Good" Mayo and Relish
11:30 pm- Tuna again or some Peanut Butter
After I run I have a Capri-Sun Sport, then ~15 mins later I have some of my Protein Factory Iso-Chill Fruit Punch.
After I lift I have an ABB Blue Thunder.
I will post pics later tonight or tomorrow as I have time. Thanks again to the LG staff.
I had hoped to get a few pictures today with the digital camera, but of course I got called into work. I was able to go to the gym this morning and I'm down to 208 and I applied my Lipoburn after my shower. I will have the pics ASAP-Thursday at the latest. Sorry if I inconvenienced anyone, which I doubt I did but I will update further tonight.
I applied the Lipoburn again tonight and for the first time I had a slight burn..Yay! I don't know, without the "burn" it makes me think it isn't working, just one of those things. The residue left by the Lipoburn gets somewhat gooey when you sweat. It's not anything big unless someone was going to touch you, then they'd be like wtf. I promise to have pics by tomorrow(Thursday).
A new note on the Lipoburn...When I take a shower or sweat the area I put the LB on burns. It feels like when you get sunburned and you take a hot shower. It doesn't really bother me but just an incite about the product. I've applied the gel twice today and there's not much change, but it is too early to see much.
Would adding two capsules of Cayenne to this formula make it burn more? I had thought about trying it, but I didn't want to mess with my product I just like the burning.
This week has been a little bit different, I had to go to the gym on Tuesday and Thursday rather than M,W,F because of my work schedule, but nevertheless, I weighed in at 207 today, with shoes, so maybe 205 without. I can actually tell a small difference in my stomach, could be all in my head, but maybe not . On another note, one of my friends is moving in his dorm tomorrow for college; I'm helping him, so there will be no cardio tomorrow and maybe not the best diet. Everything will return to normal Monday though, but I may not be able to update until Saturday and maybe tonight.
For a Day 5 update, Thursday I did no cardio as I was very tired when I got home and had to go to UGA to help a friend move in Friday. As for Friday I helped my friend and he lives on the 9th floor so we carried stuff up and down the stairs, talk about tiring. Also we walked down to the SLC which is about half a mile from his dorm a couple of times. I felt this was plenty of cardio activity So I did none when I got home. I don't do cardio on weekends and Monday will start cardio/lifting again and also I help a friend move into Auburn then, but he's only on like the 3rd floor, so it won't be as bad.

Ok, first of all I fail to see a story in my post. Rather I see an explaination of my cardio, I just though people would like to know what I do/did for cardio and the way I have it is a little more personal so readers can know that I'm a real person and not someone who works for LG or someone who wll give a biased review. Secondly, I never asked you to read my thread, and I cenrtainly never asked you to reply to it. If you don't like how I do my log then there are about 7 other ones you can go read. I won't change my log for you, so you can get over it. As for anyone else, if they would like to ask my any questions or offer any helpful tips, it would be gladly appreciated.
Now, I'm still applying the LipoBurn night and day and I weighed in at 206 today, but I forgot to do my BF%. Wednesday I will take a new picture since that will mark 1 week since the last picture.
Ok so this is day 7 of Lipoburn... Impression:
It seems to be working, atleast I can tell a small difference when I look in the mirror. Only downfall so far for me is dryness, not only on my stomach but on the hand I apply it with. Talk about your whole hand peeling, but I can look past that . As said I will take a picture tomorrow so there can be a comparison shot, but don't expect to see great results..it's only been a week .
Me:
8/9 8/17
Weight: 210 206
BodyFat: 14% 12% Diet/Cardio
My diet hasn't been as good as normal just because of so much stuff going on. I've had a lot of Peanut Butter Atkins Advantage bars because I've been on the go with no food around. Cardio..I had been doing it a little differently just because of so much walking/carrying I have been doing helping friends. I'm going to do medium intensity tonight rather than HIIT because my treadmill clock no longer works and the clock I was using shorted out. So I have to wait til I get a clock so I can know to change every 30 seconds.
My workouts have been a bit more intense and I'm doing squats again after about a month off-I was having knee problems. As I said I think the product has done quite well for this to be only 1 week and I want to again thank the Legal Gear staff for letting me test this.
If anyone wants to know anything about the product, me, or my routines, feel free to post and I'll respond ASAP.

Guys, I promised my picture today... My dad is currently using our digital camera at his office and needs it. My friend who took the first picture is now at UGA but I still have one more person to contact and if I can get a hold of him I will make the trip down there tonight and upload the picture later tonight. Last night for cardio I did 35 minutes of medium intensity cardio; I will probably do the same tonight as I still have no clock with a second hand, though I get extremely bored doing cardio this way. Doing HIIT keeps me in it because there is constant change and it's only 20 minutes rather than boring same old thing for 35 minutes. I will try my best to get the pic tonight and I updated my bodyfat as I took it today and got 12%.

Wash your hand right after application. I noticed a slight drying in between my fingers, but right after application run your hand under luke warm water for 5-10 secs. and you should be good to go.

This is what I have been doing but to no avail . I'm going to go to Wal-Mart and get me some latex gloves to rub it in with and that way more in absorbed into my stomach not my hand . On a sad note though, I can't take the picture until tomorrow and it'll be midday but I won't be able to upload it until tomorrow night as I have orientation tomorrow and have to work. I am sorry for the delay if anyone was looking forward to this(ha) but I can only control so much. Also, sorry to the LG staff if my delays are causing you guys problems as well. I try my hardest though and will update ASAP.
Ok, Update! Here are my pics, you can't tell very much, it's totally different lighting and I'm sorry but it was the best I could do as of now. Also, you may not be able to tell much difference, but I can as I see myself day to day-granted it's not a huge difference, but a difference nonetheless.
Ok, I have some bad news...I'm at 209 now! This is discouraging to me, but not too much as about 5 weeks ago I gained 4 lbs in a week but lost it fairly quickly. I kind of expected this as I ran out of my Ripped Fuel w/ Ephedra so I wasn't taking anything, I also ran out of my protein powder, so I was eating chicken instead, I also ran out of my milk, so I was eating Lean Cuisines for Breakfast instead of my normal. And! as a said my treadmill clock and other clock quit working so I've been doing long distance and apparently it's not doing a whole lot . Another note, the hand I apply the LipoBurn with, like I said peeled like a ***got...well today I applied Nair to my abs and wala! The hand I used turned Hunter Green. I was like wtf, so I tried washing it off, didn't work..alcohol, no avail. So at this point, I'm like what the hell, My hand better not stay green the rest of my life...So I grab some Hydrogen Peroxide and it comes right off. I have no clue if they Nair and LipoBurn interacted and turned me green or what, but if anyone has a guess I'd like to hear!
Just an update...I had to quit putting the Lipoburn on my stomach for a couple of days because of irritation, but I still put it on my love handles. I am back to doing it normal though..I still have no clock so I'm still doing cardio for like 30 minutes and get bored as crap. I will take pics wednesday at the same place so it will be the same lighting as the day 9 pics. Nothing much new to report, I'm just trying to find stuff to eat..I start school tomorrow and all my classes are on Tuesday and Thursday so I'll be on the go all day those days and I'm trying to figure out what to eat. I also need a good breakfast food...if anyone has any suggestions, I'd really like to hear them as I don't want to resort to fast foods...I mean right now I'll be eating ham/turkey sandwiches on wheat, but that gets old real qucik for me, but any input would be great..
not to nitpick or jump on your case, but where are you getting your bodyfat % from? Your listing it at 12-14 % and I was shocked when I saw your pic. Maybe more like 20% + bodyfat?

You're right...I look like a complete fatass but I don't think the pics do me a lot of justice...I have a good bit of muscle, but I take it between my mid-stomach and side-where you're supposed to, and the only place I have a good bit of fat is my stomach, but I'm doing what the calipers say.. :/
Ok..sorry for the long delay..My internet was down, ok..I wasn't able to get pics..I will get them ASAP. Also Nair is irritating my stomach so I can't apply the Lipoburn to my stomach, only my love handles, for a few days after I Nair myself..I'm back down to 206 and will weigh myself Monday or Wednesday and have a better update with pics then and I promise...again sorry for being such a ****ty tester.
Well..all applications are going as planned, but on a side note the bottle has been getting stopped up a lot lately, but nevertheless it still seems to be working . I will have digital pics by Thursday at the latest. But on a side note, I weighed in yesterday at 202 lbs which marks 25 lbs that I have lost since I started dieting. I included a pic of when I started on May 18 and it is now August 31. My original goal was 190, but after I reach that I may rethink my goal depending on how a look, but here are the pics..
