and what have you learn from this success?

Please share a sincere success story of real weight loss involving plain brisk walking, including duration and frequency. I’ve read books touting claims of substantial weight loss by merely walking “x” distance, for “y” minutes, “z” times per week all while not changing one’s eating habits. It doesn’t work for me. So if you’ve had good results please share.

Does anyone have a success story for inducing labor with nipple stimulation?

I’m 38/1 and my due date is Jan 20th. My parents happen to be leaving the country for 10 days starting the 20th and they are all I have (and a 20-month old daughter) so I would like them to be here. If I don’t go into labor by the 16th, I want to induce (should give me time to get home from the hospital too.) I would like to do this 100% drug-free, and nipple stimulation is really all I am able to do (my husband is deployed.) Any success stories to up my confidence in this method?
I wish I could just wait for her to be ready to just come out, but with my parents being out of the country, I have no one to watch my older daughter (20 months) while I am in labor. I am waiting until the last possible moment for her arrival though as her development means a great deal to me.
I am also 2 cm/80%effaced/stage+2… could that increase my chances of success?
PS- How long did you do nipple stimulation before it worked (if it worked?)

Hi peeps,

Okay, I might sound very shallow to ask this question, but I really want to know you guys’ opinions.

Looking of works done by Tracey Emin (eg her unmade bed, the tent, etc) and also Marcel Duchamp’s Fountain & Piero Manzoni’s Artist Shits; I can’t help but wonder…. what does it take to be a, erm, good modern artist? It seems to me that as long as we come up with a very unexpected (read: weird) idea AND dare to make a strong statement as the “concept of the work”, we can actually turn practically ANYTHING into artworks.

Is it because we’ve had enough of visually pleasant artworks (eg Monalisa, etc) that we actually seek to invent more modern, unconventional arts? In this case, is contemporary art *supposed* to be of a ‘higher level’ than old masters’ works?

Any opinion will be greatly appreciated! Thank you very much in advance!

i know paris and nicole say “thats hot” a lot in the simple life but what other phrases and quote do they use often?

I just wanted to read peoples success story about the weight they lost and maybe it can also motivate some people to MOVE IT. Please tell us your height, the weight at which you were before the loss, how long it took you, and what was your regime (diet and exercise) like.

Ok so i was just wondering if you or someone you knew(not something you read on the internet) has had a VBA3C? I so badly want to give birth the way nature intended but for some reason my body doesn’t dilate and my babies don’t wanna come out. I have had 3 c-sections and am due in March 2008 but i want to give birth vaginally. I know there are risks involved and i have talked to my doctor about this and he assures me that because i have had all my kids so far apart in age my body has had plenty of time to heal.
He supports me in my decision to go vaginally, i just want to hear of your success stories. i have been to the website ICAN but it doesn’t have a lot of current info.
What do you think i could do to make myself dilate when the time is right aside from sex which never worked for me in the past.
So many questions, so little time,LOL

I just joined weight watchers a few weeks ago for the 30th time (exageration) and i am looking for inspiration.
