By Yara Nielsenshultz One of the best ways to connect with clients is to share stories. And it’s a lot more fun than the “usual” boring approaches to telling people about yourself. Stories enable you to capture someone’s attention and get them genuinely interested in you and what you have to offer. Even better, telling stories comes naturally to most of us, whether we realize it or not. Think about it. When is the last time you told someone about your day? We bet you didn’t recite a list of sleep-inducing facts. Instead, you put verve in your voice, you used dramatic pauses, you asked questions … in short, you told a story. But what do stories have to do with business? Everything! Think about how you got where you are now. For me, it started with sitting in the sunshine reading Ode Magazine and thinking “I want to do that! I want to be one of those people who changes the world.” I sighed wistfully and then … “Why not?” [tiny light bulb] “Maybe we won’t travel to a third-world country and help establish a basic infrastructure …” [bigger light bulb] “But there are lots of ways to change the world, to make a difference” [blinding light] “Yes! We can do it.” And so we did. I quit my cushy corporate job, we moved halfway across the United States, and we now help solo business owners become independent, successful, and happy. What I just told you was a story, the story of what led us to our current path. See how more interesting that story is over a bland list of activities? It includes feelings, pauses (with ellipses), even imagery with the lightbulbs. It is easier to tell a story in person, but you can do it with writing, too. And you can do it *very* effectively. What can you use stories for? Just about anything you write. Some ideas: About Me/Us pages on your web site Bios (both short blurbs and longer introductions) Sales letter (start with a story to hook your reader) Presentations or teleseminars Networking events (wouldn’t you love to hear a story rather than the usual “I’m so-and-so, which-what-that for ABC company?) 30-second elevator speeches Online networking What can stories do for you? Connect on a human level Everyone’s human. At a fundamental level, we all share certain experiences. We all know what it’s like to feel sad, embarrassed, ecstatic. Telling stories enables you to connect with your clients on a human level. Demonstrate expertise You can use stories to demonstrate your expertise. Sure, having an MBA is great. But lots of people have MBAs. What makes you different? Tell a story about what you’ve done with your MBA or how you got it. It will set you apart from competitors who use credentials instead of qualifications. Brag about accomplishments As solopreneurs, we need to brag about our accomplishments in order to show other people what we have done and can do. But bragging can seem (and be!) inappropriate. But not if it’s told as a story. Make it about the experience rather than the accomplishment. The accomplishment will shine through, and your clients will connect with it as a human experience. (For an awesome book about bragging, try _BRAG! The Art of Tooting Your Horn without Blowing It_ by Peggy Klaus.) Avoid conflict gracefully You can also use stories to explain something you’d really rather not deal with. Say a client pushes back on signing a contract. Rather than getting stern or wishy-washy or up-in-arms, say “Oh boy. Let me tell you about the last time I worked without a contract …” Turn it into a story and you can explain your reasoning while avoiding argument or squirminess.

By Kum Martin When choosing a lawyer, it’s important to understand that because of the complex nature of the U.S legal system lawyers must specialize in specific areas. It is important therefore to find a lawyer best suited to one’s particular needs, not simply one that one finds personally likeable. Often people who choose on the basis of personality alone are unhappy with their lawyer later. Lawyers network with one another and contact information for one another with special expertise. The best source for finding a lawyer then is often other lawyers. It is also useful to search online at West’s Law Directory, Einet, P-Law or The Seamless Web. County Law libraries keep information about lawyers, their activities, and even have a rating system to assert the quality of that lawyer. Trial Lawyers of America’s Desk Reference has a list of the top lawyers in the United States. Law libraries often contain details from jury reporting services. Contact the heads of the local legal community not only to find out which lawyer might be best suited to your case, but who might be unsuitable as well. Try contacting the presiding judge of your local court. Bar associations serve the needs of lawyers and will not risk alienating their members, so they may not be the best place to go to for a referral. Once you have a good idea which lawyer you are going to choose, don’t forget to interview them and remember that this person will be speaking on your behalf. All in all, remember that lawyers understand their profession best; find out which lawyer they would go to if they had a problem similar to yours, and check them out with one of the various resources at your disposal.

By Kevin Stith Flowers are one of the most common presents for Mother Days. They are a symbol of life and beauty, and they always manage to put a smile on a womans face. In fact, you may spend your whole life looking for a woman who does not like flowers and still not find one. That could be one of the reasons why flowers are such an appropriate present for Mothers Day. You can get your mom a bouquet with a variety of flowers or a simple bunch with her favorite flowers. They can be your only gift or be a supplement gift. When choosing flowers, remember that any flower you get will make your mother special. While selecting flowers, you can either buy her favorite flowers or buy her different flowers in her favorite color or colors. If you are wondering what color to get and what each of them signifies, following is a guide. Besides passion and romance, red flowers also represent courage and congratulations. White flowers are for loyalty, integrity, sympathy, and eternal love. Orange is for fun and cheerfulness and to wish luck and say thank you. Green flowers signify health, prosperity, and success. Pink flowers are to show appreciation, to show that you care and also to signify harmony and happiness. Yellow flowers are for happiness, new beginnings, and friendship; and purple flowers are perfect to show your admiration and enchantment and to ask for forgiveness. You can also combine two colors to signify different things. To show abiding love, unity and teamwork, use red and white flowers. Purple and white flowers can say you are sorry. Yellow and orange flowers can symbolize friendship, and green and yellow represent success. Pink and white can be used to convey harmony and purple and pink for admiration and hope.

By Don Diebel Weaving in and out of traffic. Speeding 10-20 miles per hour above the legal speed limit. Not paying attention to the road while talking on your cell phone. Cussing out or giving the finger to other drivers who get in your way. Tail-gating other cars. Not keeping your eyes on the road while talking to her. When stopping for a red light or stop sign, you apply the brakes at the last minute, jerking your date out of her seat. Throwing trash, beer cans, or lite cigarettes out the window while you’re driving. Driving while drunk or under the influence of drugs. Refusing to wear your seat belt. Running red lights and stop signs. Trying to impress your date by burning rubber. Forgeting to clean your car inside and out before picking up your date. Taking control of the radio and not letting her listen to her favorite radio station. Lighting up a cigarette without asking your date if she minds if you smoke. Driving with bald tires, increasing your chances of having an accident in wet driving conditions. Forgeting to gas up your car before going on your date and you run out of gas on your date. Speeding through school zones. If you are guilty of some or most of these driving sins while on a date, you’re are in big trouble and I will tell you why. When you’re on a date, especially on a first date, you are being judged. Anything that you do that leaves a negative impression will be held against you. And if you’re out of control while driving, it can make such a bad impression on her that she will not want another date with you. So, guys please don’t take the attitude of, “I’ll drive as I damned well please and if she doesn’t like the way I drive it’s tuff shit.” This attitude can cost you dates and maybe even your life or others. So, please drive safely! This article written by Don Diebel (Americas #1 Singles Expert).

By Marilyn Jenett More And More It was notable that when I started my business twenty years ago, I came up with a certain “minimum” profit I wanted to make. Within a very short time I didn’t feel that profit was enough and I gingerly started to charge more. Then more. I kept stretching and kept raising my profit requirement. NOW THIS IS THE MOST INTERESTING PART: The more I raised my prices, the more I attracted higher paying clients. Each step forward helped me release the fear that I couldn’t get more (or that maybe I wasn’t worth more). The caliber of client I attracted was directly related to the amount of profit I required for myself. The more I claimed for myself, the more the Universe brought to me the clients who had the ability to pay and to accommodate my higher prosperity consciousness. Over time I completely eliminated the type of events that required much more work for much less money. I realize now that I was creating that “vacuum” for new, higher paying clients to arrive. And they kept arriving. And new circumstances opened up to attract them. The Universe will find a way to bring us the rewards that we claim for ourselves. But we must claim it - boldly - and know we deserve it. My students are now finding that when they release the fear and doubt, the Universe will rush to support them. We must make a decision. We are operating from integrity, we have a viable and valuable product or service to offer, there are plenty of clients or customers who will benefit from what we have to offer, and we deserve to be rewarded appropriately. When Less Is More Okay, let’s say you have reached a point where you know that you deserve to be rewarded fairly for your efforts and you charge accordingly. But there are certain times, if you let your intuition guide you, when you may feel prompted to give your services for much less than your usual value. At those times you are “tuned in” and you may not know why you feel it is the right decision, but you just know and feel that it is. You don’t think twice about it. These are times when you are being guided by an unseen hand - your higher self is directing you because there is more to the story than meets the eye. Here is an example: A client, Michelin North America, was referred to me a few years back, for a relatively small event. They were showcasing their new “designer” tires to a few local auto industry types at our automotive museum. They had invited only a few special guests, had already booked the museum so there was no profit for me there, and in short, there was a rather meager budget. And, the corporation is located in South Carolina (I’m in Los Angeles), didn’t participate in conventions here, so there didn’t seem to be much prospect for future business. But everything in me said “Do it!” I did the small event and gave it my best, the client thanks me and that was that. A couple of months later I heard from the client again…they were planning to fly 250 of their best dealers out to Los Angeles to celebrate New Year’s Eve in grand style at the auto museum and attend the Rose Parade in which Michelin had a float. Long story short… That New Year’s Eve event’s budget was over $100,000…in the last couple of years I have done two other events here for Michelin, including a huge media event that showcased 90 environmental cars for which Mr. Michelin himself flew in from France. And that event took place in October right after 9/11!! When we boldly claim our good, all of the forces of the Universe will come into play to fulfill our expectations, sometimes in the disguise of “little packages”. Listen to that inner voiceit will tell you when the little packages contain diamonds.

By Gerry Oginski Q: My mother was in a car accident last week, and already she’s gotten letters from lawyers asking if she’s ok, and if she wants a lawyer? Is it ethical for a lawyer to send such a letter? A: First, I hope she is feeling better. Second, in limited circumstances in New York, it may be acceptable for an attorney to send such a letter to a victim of an accident. The majority of lawyers feel such a letter to a victims’ home is demeaning and degrading. Some lawyers feel this is nothing but a solicitation, which is clearly not permitted in New York. Other attorneys (the ones who send these letters) feel that it may be their only chance to entice the injured victim to come to them as a client. The letter is supposed to only offer them legal assistance and guidance- should they want it. Again, how do you choose which attorney to use when you’re inundated with a flood of letters from different lawyers promising to help you with your accident claim? The answer is simpler than you think. Ask yourself why a an attorney would even bother to send such a letter. Are they really that desperate to need to send such a letter? How did they get your name anyway? I’ll tell you how- maybe it came from the tow truck operator who took your car away. Maybe it was from an ambulance technician. Maybe it was from a police blotter at the police station. (That’s public information that many investigators working for lawyers troll for in various police stations). Ask yourself another question. Do you let a stranger into your house simply because he says he saw you need a paint job, and amazingly, he’s a painter who is willing to paint your house for a great price? Did you call him? No. Did you seek out other customers of his to determine if he’s reliable and professional? No. He just showed up while trolling through the neighborhood. Is this the type of painter you want working in your house? I don’t think so. The same rationale holds true for a lawyer that sends you an unsolicited letter following an accident. What do you know about that lawyer? Probably nothing. Does that mean that he (or she) isn’t a good lawyer? No. But, again, think who you want for your attorney. Does it help knowing that your lawyer gets many cases this way, by sending out unsolicited lawyer letters hoping that a few unknowing people will answer the letter? The choice, as always is yours. Make an informed choice. Attorney Oginski has been in practice for over 16 years as a trial lawyer practicing exclusively in the State of New York. Having his own law firm, he is able to provide the utmost in personalized, individualized attention to each and every client. In our office, a client is not a file number.

By April Wend Let me start off by saying that I am not one that normally writes articles or reviews on products or services of any kind. I’m just an average everyday person like yourself, yet somehow feel I’m more than qualified to give my honest unbiased opinion on what is now known as one of the newest and “hottest” low carb weight loss plans out there. Kimkins. I figure if anyone writes this review, it should be someone that knows what they are talking about right? I’m ready to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. So if your interested in learning more about Kimkins low carb weight loss plan before you jump right into trying it yourself. You’ve come to the right place! I’m ready to tell all. To tell you a quick bit about myself so you can see why I feel I’m qualified to give a good bit of advice regarding Kimkins; I’m a 34 year old single mother of 4. One of which is a 6 year old with Cerebral Palsy. I’ve been overweight my entire life tipping the scales at a whooping 310+ pounds so needless to say, I was in trouble! It didn’t seem like enough for me to want to lose this 160+ pounds of extra weight for myself. I tried for years, and just didn’t have any level of success. However things were different this time. My kids were depending on me, and I needed to do something, and do something QUICK! I used them as the motivation I needed to take my first step .. and somehow managed to stick with it. To date I have shed 93 pounds, however I have 68 yet to go. To view my progress photos, please find information on how to do so below. To make a long story short, that’s how I’ve stumbled upon Kimkins. I’ve given this new way of eating a fair go, and was really amazed at the speed of weight loss I’ve had compared to other weight loss plans I’ve tried. Only it wasn’t all roses. Let me explain. You may have heard of this “Atkins tweaked” low carb eating plan at least once or twice by now. Especially if you are familiar with low carb eating in general. If you get around on some of the more popular low carb forums to post for weight loss support, it’s almost guaranteed you’ve run across her name at least once. It seems like everywhere you look, someone is talking about Kimkins. Something you’ll see is that Kimkins is either a “well loved” or “well hated” way of eating and people are not shy about giving their opinions about it. The whole Kimkins diet plan was started by a woman known by the nickname “Kimmer.” Kimmer was an active poster on some of the more popular low carb weight loss boards. Rumor is, someone made a comment that her plan was wonderful, and because it was so much like Atkins, yet very different at the same time.. she should rename it “Kimkins”.. per her nickname “Kimmer.” From that moment, the name stuck! Prior to this all, Kimmer, on her own personal “Atkins tweaked” weight loss plan dropped an amazing 198 pounds within 1 years time. Just for the record, she has also managed to keep that weight off for 5 years. Kimmer took the basic Atkins plan, and in my opinion brilliantly personalized it to her own specifications. Just to give you a few examples of how she tweaked the program; one of the biggest things she changed was the types of meats she ate. She traded in the full fat foods that Atkins allowed for leaner cuts of meat. For instance Atkins allowed ground beef, bacon, and chicken wings. Kimmers plan only allowed for things like chicken (without the skin), turkey, fish, and other such low fat meats. The lower the fat, the better. Another change being, there is no cheese allowed or at least in very limited portions. Unlike the Atkins plan where cheese is a full “GO” because it is free of carbs. Kimmer’s response would be, though it is free of carbs, it is not free of calories and those calories add up quick! In time, Kimmer then turned around and began to personally coach countless numbers of other individuals who wanted to know the big secret to her amazing lightening fast weight loss. Mainly those posting on the same Low Carb weight loss boards. She began helping them achieve weight loss one after another after another. This is what had so many people either SUPER EXCITED about her plan and ready to jump on board, or very angry because they did not agree with her ways! They feared her plan was dangerous because it limited fats and carbs and the number of calories were so low, but her claims the plan was not only effective but 100% SAFE stood their ground without fail. In my opinion, after reviewing countless threads over the past 8 months, it seems as though every person that followed Kimmers advice and was strict with her eating plan WAS successful in losing weight, just as Kimmer claimed they would be. All without exercise! This new found fame came as a surprise to Kimmer to the point it eventually overwhelmed her. She was flooded with personal messages and questions she could no longer keep up with though she certainly tried! Her compassion and care for others success was very important to her and it showed. However, sadly it was taking up all her time and though she wanted to help people, she couldn’t do it by herself anymore. With the help of a few good friends, Kimmer started the Kimkins site. Here she has created a more organized environment to handle the whole situation better. She requires a paid membership for her plan and personal coaching, as well as countless other perks for her members. One of which is the great price for a lifetime access. In my opinion, this paid membership is completely understandable seeing how so many PEOPLE WANTED HER FULL ATTENTION as well as her WISDOM & KNOWLEDGE. There’s no denying Kimmer was in IN HIGH DEMAND! Currently, Kimmer has close to 2,000 members to her site and I see that it continues to grow in number every day. Her site is still fairly new but is already loaded with great content and useful information with new tools and articles added everyday. One of which is the Kimkins Newsletter which is available for free to both members and non-members alike. At first her newsletters were not that great, but as time goes on.. I see they are improving. I’ll get into more on this later. Kimmer has different phases to her weight loss plan. The first known as “K/E” which means “The Kimmer Experiment.” This is a very specific eating plan that lasts about 3-5 days with the purpose of achieving real ketosis. K/E has a carb count of nearly “0.” The “experiment”, basically, is to use this way of eating to determine whether or not you were over on carbs in your prior diet. If you drop a large amount of weight within a short period of time, that means you were over on carbs and should adjust your eating accordingly. Being over on carbs seems to be the number one reason so many people on other popular low carb diets were failing. Kimmer does not allow for net carb counting either. It is very complicated, however Kimmer does a great job of explaining the science behind the whole experiment to all her members. Once in ketosis she would then suggest that you switch into what is called “Kimkins” for the remainder of your weight loss. The one main difference between the two plans is K/E does not allow any form of veggies. Basically, it is only lean meats and eggs and enough oil/fat to make your menu work. Once you move into Kimkins way of eating, you would then be able to add a certain amount of veggies to your daily menu. That’s about the only difference. Kimmer also has a suggested maintenance plan that you can follow too. It appears this plan includes some dairy, some fruit, and some grains. I haven’t looked much into this but I do know she has a good number of recipes posted on her site for maintenance as well as K/E and Kimkins. New recipes and cooking tips are added daily. On her website, she also has a few other popular threads going that I see. One being a “Fasting For Weight Loss & Detox” and “Kimmers Bootcamp” which are NOT part of Kimmers official way of eating, but some choose to take these routes for yet quicker results. More times than not, these are done in the form of a challenge of some sort that only lasts a certain amount of time. You choose if you want to take part or not. There is much debate (though not on Kimmers site) about the dangers of fasting for weight loss. I see there are just as many people that support it as are against it. “Bootcamp” is a specific and ultra strict eating plan designed by Kimmer for those that want super charged weight loss to an even higher level. One of the main differences that Bootcamp offers is it includes a required 30 minutes of cardio per day. Bootcamp is the ONLY plan that requires any form of exercise and this is strictly for members that choose to do so. The amazing thing you’ll find when looking through her site is that EVERY plan no matter which one.. is kicking out weight loss results at lightening speed. It’s actually quite amazing to see. On the front page of Kimkins website, you can read testimony after testimony of member comments telling of their experience. Kimmer has this labeled something like “Overheard In The Kimkins Forurms” or something to that effect. Now let me mention a few things that makes Kimmer’s plan unique. One being what is called the Domino Effect. Kimmer teaches her members why “1 cheat” causes you to stall, thus breaking your “domino weight loss effect” and bringing it to a screeching halt. Once this stall happens, it takes up to 7 days for your “dominos” to be set back up and your weight loss rolling again. Basically, if you cheated, you would have to start back at square 1. Which is to do K/E until your body is back into ketosis and then on to Kimkins again. This does not mean that you will gain your “fat” weight back, though you WILL gain some if not all of your water weight back depending on the size of your cheat. Once you do K/E for a few days, you will lose this water weight again and eventually be back to where you were prior to cheating. This information alone has been priceless to me and so many others I’m sure would agree. I have tested this all out and found this information to be quite true. In my own personal experience and opinion, this information alone has been well worth my membership fee. It is also very motivating for members following Kimkins plan to know that if they should cheat, it would set them back up to 1 week. I see this often motivates them NOT to cheat, and therefore results in quicker weight loss. Another thing that makes her plan unique is the AMAZING appetite suppressant caused by being in REAL Ketosis. Until one experiences this, you’d never believe it. There are people on her boards, like myself that are coming from out of control binge eating habits to all of a sudden being able to control their eating 110%! In my opinion, when on Atkins or any other low carb type dieting that I’ve done in my past, when I “thought” I was in Ketosis.. I now know I was not. Comparing the two now has made me a believer in Kimmers acclaimed “REAL Ketosis.” Something else that makes Kimmers plan unique is lightening speed weight loss. If you are first starting out, you can expect to lose anywhere between 5-10 pounds easy within the first week alone. This is known as your official starting “WHOOSH.” Yes, most of it is water weight, but this kick starts your fat burning and puts it into high gear. Once you hit your “whoosh”, which will be a huge drop on the scale literally overnight it seems, you know it’s time to move into Kimkins mode. IF you remain faithful to plan, you can then expect to lose UP TO 1 pound PER day. However I have seem many of Kimmers heaviest members drop more weight than that per day. Sometimes as much as 2-3 pounds per day, at least for the first few weeks then down to about 1 pound per day. This, Kimmer says will continue at a steady pace and will only slow down when you are about 20 pounds or so from goal. From what I have read over the past year via member testimonies as well as my own personal weight loss experience, this I believe is true at least for the most part. Things that I DO NOT like about Kimmer’s plan. If I have to be honest and say what I don’t like about her plan it would without doubt be the menu. It is just down right boring! Basically, you’ll be eating lean meats, such as chicken, fish, turkey, seafood, that type a thing. Not to mention lots and lots of eggs! She does provide you with a huge list of choices, but if your not that good of a cook, you’ll be forced to stick with the basics. However, even so, I think most people would agree with me on a few things. #1 THE MENU IS BORING but… #2 YOU DON’T FEEL LIKE EATING ANYWAY. (Ketosis). #3 THE WEIGHT LOSS FACTOR FAR EXCEEDS THE PAINS OF A BORING MENU so it’s rewarding to stick to plan. Actually, most people do.. knowing they can add more food options to their menu at a later time. Another thing I don’t like about the plan is that it’s so easy to gain your water weight back if your not careful. However, like I said earlier, this is ONLY the water weight and once back on plan, doing strict K/E, that weight drops right back off. It just takes time. This can be really frustrating, especially for new members that don’t yet understand what is happening. However once you realize the weight gain on the scale (sometimes up to 5 or so pounds) is due to some sort of sodium intake (a common culprit is deli type meats) or small cheat where you overate on carbs .. it’s easier to deal with. Some folks, when starting out on Kimkins run into this problem and get discouraged right away until they learn what is happening and how to remedy it. Kimmer DOES teach/coach you through these struggles if they should come up. I notice she is very good at that and even takes the time to thumb through daily menu choices of that individual to find the problem. The final thing that I don’t like about Kimmers plan really isn’t about “the plan” so much as it is “her site.” Though there has been recent improvement, I wish she would have all of her basic CORE information all listed in one organized place. Especially her “ASK KIMMER” questions and answers. Currently she does have SOME of her information organized and easy to find and read through, but not all. Sometimes you think you might know everything there is to know, but until you read through pages and pages of posts, you find out you didn’t. I see there are some members that are newbies who don’t understand certain KEY points to her plan so they run into unnecessary trouble. This would be avoided (at least in part) if there was a place where everything was organized and in print, instead of hunting through countless post. Now, the good news is, I did hear rumor that Kimmer was working on an e-book with this information all compiled and every member was going to receive a free copy. As far as the website itself. It is a very enjoyable warm place with somewhere close to 2,000 friendly members that are very supportive of one another. Mostly women but there ARE some men as well. There is a place to post a personal journal, photos, weight loss goals, challenges, menu ideas, fitness area, and lots more. I’ve been a member for quite some time now and have enjoyed it very much. If there is anything I would change, it would be some of the linking from page to page. There has been a problem with that I see. Sometimes when you click on 1 link, it takes you to the main page when that’s not where you wanted to go. That can be frustrating at times, but not enough to ruin your visit. Kimmer also has an “Ask Kimmer” thread where you can post any question you might have for her there and she usually answers in a fairly quick time frame. If for any reason you do not feel comfortable posting your questions in front of everyone, she does welcome personal messages and as far as I can tell, she answers every one personally. My experience with Kimkins has been a pleasant one. If you ask me does the plan work? I would have to say yes.. 100% yes. Her ideas and thoughts toward low carb dieting are unlike any I have learned! It’s not so much the foods you eat, it’s really getting a strong understanding of how our bodies respond to food and using that power to your advantage. Is it easy to stick to? For the most part it is. But NOT always! Ketosis helps in such a HUGE way to control your urge to eat, however there are times you just miss eating! Especially now a days when going out to favorite family restaurants is the thing to do. The good news is, your in control. You perhaps for the first time in your life have the control to say yes or no to food. Being a past binge eater as well as a HUGE overeater, I’ve found this true in my own experience, I really did finally gain the control I was lacking over food. This is a result of Kimmers effect on my life. Is it worth joining her site? I would say that I’ve never regret spending the money to join but if you are not serious about doing the plan I’d pass for now. There are quite a few members that I see come and go; I think this is because they get pumped up and excited about giving it a try, but in reality, they aren’t quite ready. I think if you know you indeed ARE 100% read to give it your all, go for it. I do enjoy visiting the site daily. I enjoy updating my weight loss ticker, and keeping up with other peoples progress. I do find that being a part of the support group is actually the biggest key to everyone’s success but not all, it does take work. I also heard a rumor, don’t know how true it is, that there are a few celebrities that are members. As far as my weight loss progress, to date I’ve lost 93 pounds but still have 68 to go. The motivation I receive from Kimmers site has been key to my staying focused however it has taking a lot of work on my part as well. I began my weight loss journey in June 2006 but please know I was NOT faithful in sticking to plan the whole time. I struggled with the desire to eat other foods, like BREAD & CEREAL! I even jumped off Kimmer and joined Weight Watchers for a time. But when my weight was not dropping like it was previously as well as paying out that kind of money, I decided to quit and jumped back on board with Kimmer. There are still days when I am tempted to throw in the towel and give up because of how strict her eating plan is. I’m not going to sit here and lie, I can’t wait for the day I get to eat dairy, bread, and other goodies again. Raisin Bran has been calling my name! Taking the required daily vitamins/minerals these last several months to supplement my eating has really been a pain too. So the bottom line is, there is both good and bad points to Kimmers plan, but somehow the bad don’t seem so bad when you put it in comparison with the final reward. Consistent weight loss. 93 pounds off does feel great! My last bit of advice.. no matter what plan you choose to follow - Low fat, Low carb, Low cal.. give it your all. Your worth it!

By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Low_Jeremy] Low Jeremy Even the best and more advanced medical methods may not work in issues of infertility; there are great evidences that will testify to this. One good point to argue about is why must couple need to tolerate several attempts of conception using so-called high technologies (e.g. in vitro fertilization). Well, now is not the time to raise arguments though. Acupuncture, an alternative medicine you say. It is truly an alternative medicine only for the reason that it is not based on western knowledge. If this is our basis of categorizing what is effective medicine and what is not, it would be a bit unfair for all oriental medical methods that work. Though not all quick fixes are convincing and real, acupuncture may be one of the selected few that really creates satisfying and immediate results. Not only does acupuncture when used in conjunction with other infertility methods effective, it may also induce relaxation and absence of pain throughout the procedures. The main principle standing in methods used in acupuncture is the release of energy blockages in certain parts of the body. Energy must flow and it must flow well. If there is any clog that will affect its smooth travel to the body, the only option to unleash them is the insertion of needles in specific points where energy is particularly blocked thus the occurrence of certain diseases. A close look at acupuncture treatment will reveal that each plan for treatment is different from the next. This is because patients posses varying physical problems that must be addressed accordingly. A consensus among practitioners and patients maintains that acupuncture works at its optimum when all other means were already completed but in vain. Acupuncture for infertility is also ideal for couples who would not want taxing themselves financially with more extensive treatments such as those that require a number of physical examinations, tests and even surgeries. This also works best for patients suffering from specific diseases such as irregular ovulation for women and sperm duct blockage. Acupuncture treatment for infertility may come in three techniques namely manual, electrified and auricular. Electrified method means the use of electric needles to clear the passages of energy. Auricular method, on the other hand, entails the use of pricking the earlobes and the ears so as to clear hormonal disorders especially in women. While many may claim that acupuncture for infertility is a cure, it would still be safe to say that it is an important part of any treatment conducted to infertile couples.

By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Mary_Wise]Mary Wise For those who have bad credit the safest way of obtaining the money they need is to use their property as collateral. If done so, the lender wont pay so much attention to the borrowers credit score and history and will focus on the value of the asset used as collateral. Uses and an Extra Benefit There are many uses for secured loans, ranging from home improvements, going on vacations, paying for college, consolidating debt, etc. But there is another benefit you can obtain from a loan. The fact that you pay regularly your loan installments will be recorded in your credit history and thus, your credit score will start improving. Collateral explained In order to secure a personal loan, the borrower is required to provide an asset to guarantee the loan. This asset, known as collateral, usually has a higher value than the loan amount. The lender will have a legal right to repossess the property if the borrower fails to make the monthly payments on the loan. As for the borrower, by providing collateral, he will be able to obtain a higher loan amount with a lower interest rate and a longer repayment program. Collateral can consist on a home or apartment, a vehicle, valuable titles or stocks, etc. The main purpose of collateral is to assure the lender that he will be able to collect the money owed by selling the asset if the borrower fails to comply with the loan terms. Loan amount and equity The loan amount will vary according to the value of the asset used as collateral. There are no limits as to the credit; the only limit is the propertys worth. Also, it is possible to borrow from the asset’s equity. If the property has been already used as collateral, its value may be higher than the amount owed so youll be able to borrow the difference. Loan duration As regards to loan length, there are many repayment program alternatives ranging from 1 to 25 years and more. As always, this depends on the type of loan, the quality and value of the asset and the borrowers credit score and history. The interest rate will be affected by the loan length, longer repayment programs carry higher interests and the opposite is also true. The solution for Bad Credit Since the collateral is securing the loan, customers with bad credit score and history can apply for a secured personal loan with great possibilities of being approved. The truth is that if suitable collateral is offered, lenders rarely decline a loan application, however, the interest rate charged will be higher and the loan amount may be limited because of the higher risk involved in the transaction. Refinance in the future Keep in mind that once approved youll be able to refinance the loan in the future. Once your credit score gets better you shouldnt even doubt it, youll be able to obtain a much better deal and save thousands of dollars in interests and you may also be able to pay off your loan a lot sooner.
