Sorry about the spoiler. That happens to me with Biggest Loser and Grey's Anatomy a lot. I usually try to steer clear of the boards with their names in the titles until I've seen the most recent episodes. What I hate is when the spoiler is actually in the message board header.

My husband thinks Red Riding Hood needs a bigger part (gee, wonder why). I'd have to say Prince Charming is my favorite. I like Emma(?) just because she was Cameron on House. I was also sad to see Graham killed off and kept hoping it was a mistake.

I was actually the opposite. I was the one that wanted the divorce because I was so unhappy...but the day I held those papers in my hand...I was just sad. Sad for all the years and for my two little kids...wondering if I had sacrificed them for myself.

I didn't have the confidence for younger men...thought I needed an older man after my divorce, more stability, more set in his career. Then my sister said I HAD to meet this cute cop that had worked at her school. Well, he was 7 years younger. Heck no, no way a younger man would be interested in ME. Well, he was...and…

I was about your age when my first husband and I separated. My kids were 5 and just barely 2. I got an additional part time job waitressing in order to keep my house and my mom watched the kids so I didn't have a babysitter for that job. I was exhausted but it was empowering to realize I could do it on my own. I went to…

Honestly, I wish I had taken that OMG picture. I so hated the way I looked I didn't want to see it. But now, I've lost some weight I'd love to compare. I'm a teacher and they always take our school picture...mine was taken before weight loss so that's all I have to go on is the face. Huge difference! I do have a picture…

Told my 13 year old daughter some advice on this the other day. I spent from 8th grade to 11th grade with a mad crush on this guy...never told him. Came across him about 20 years later, happily married--both of us, talked about it and he had no idea I had a crush on him. If you ask and are turned down...you are rejected…

Let's see. My EX husband even got me gifts but I had to give him a list. 30th birthday...all I wanted were tickets to see the Goo Goo Dolls (favorite band). He wouldn't get the tickets because it was a "school night". I'm a teacher. He came home with a candle and an umbrella. I went online and bought the tickets myself and…

Honestly...I've noticed since I started working out in the morning I have so much more energy. When I get home from work I have to have some down time and I'm tired a whole lot earlier in the evening because I'm getting up earlier...but my students have actually commented on how annoying I am since I started exercising…

Well, we don't know what happened yet, but the article said it was a traffic stop. Who knows what provoked it, but it could have been anywhere.

All I can say is what my experience was with my kids. My son (who I later found out was on the autism spectrum) used to have a complete meltdown every time I left him at the day care. Separation anxiety. The teacher told me, one day, to walk around and look through the window...he was laughing and playing (30 seconds after…

Hate this. My husband is a former police officer. :(

Haha, been doing kegels since I read that...

I was talking to the lady on the treadmill beside me...and all of a sudden she fell and went shooting off the back. Somehow, I was more embarrassed than she was.

Not sure if this is related, but my husband craves chocolate. I did a little research and if your magnesium is low, cravings increase. Would be interesting to see if your magnesium is depleted during TOM. I order him chelated magnesium from carlson labs and he says it helps. May be mental...but he said it helps.

Actually no...I'm taking prescription vitamin D and it says not to take anything else with Vitamin D. I guess I could look at some vitamins and see what I can find. That's actually a very good suggestion. I used to take a multivitamin every day but they made me nauseous.

Thanks ;) I've actually been to the doctor about a voice issue I'm having and she's sending me to an ENT. I made a comment about the dark circles and she said to ask about that also...might be related. I was just looking to see if anyone else had a similar experience. I really have noticed a lot more darkening since I've…

Ok. I was just concerned that it was something I was doing wrong. It's like I've aged by 10 years when I wake up and as I put makeup on...I take the years off. It really makes that big of a difference. I guess I was always lucky that I could go without makeup and it wasn't a big deal...now I don't leave the house!

Well, the most important thing I've learned in this 10 year roller coaster of weight gain/loss is that there is no easy fix. I've got to change my behaviors in a way that will be a lasting, meaningful, maintainable way so I don't go back to the bad habits and gain it all back. I've got to learn what works for me…

Seriously...nice to know I'm not the only creeper!

Thanks for some great ideas. I do drink a ton of water but since I started this "diet" I've been getting up at 4 am to work out. Probably not getting as much sleep. It's weird because the darkness is in between my eyes and not under eyes where you usually get dark circles.

Lol...I am a creeper. My husband is going to start wondering why I'm spending so much time on a fitness site. ;) Oh...and rolling chair...yeah, that's a problem for me too. Somewhere around 40 I lost my coordination and I do dumb stuff all the time...don't need to give those students any more ammunition about what a dork I…

What I usually do is read what people have written and process it for myself...does what they say seem to make logical sense? Maybe I need to do a little research on what they've said to see if it's true. I have thyroid issues and rheumatoid arthritis so there are a lot of whack-job posters out there on these topics.…

lol, speaking of...geez, I feel like a creeper looking at your pic. How many times did you have to take it to get that exact angle? Whew...very nice. Oh yeah, um, topic....distracted...sneaky exercise...I'm a teacher so I actually started walking around and helping the kids instead of yelling to them from my desk. Amazing…

When I was 25 I had a couple of kids that lived next door. I think they were 6 and 8. Of course, I was married and a teacher so the situation was very different. They've both grown up and I've been to both of their weddings and the girl is pregnant with her second child. Sometimes I feel like I raised both of them because…

Thanks! You look like Billy Joel! *kinda*

Yay! Congratulations on the wedding AND on making positive changes for yourself. I know what you mean...I found out about a year and a half ago that I have rheumatoid arthritis and that's what it feels like...being old! So I got on meds and am now taking off a bit of weight. My students actually comment on how annoying I…

Well that's much more interesting than mine....I will be teaching my college class and hopefully getting home in time to watch a little tv with my husband and get a decent night's sleep!

I think that penguin shouldn't be messin with that polar bear....that's not courage...that's crazy!

Hi, best of luck! Feel free to add me as a friend if you'd like.
