Did you hear the news...? Yeah, real news of a celebrity!?
Katie Holmes ran the NYC marathon and FINISHED the 26.2 mile run in 5 hours, 29 min and 58 seconds!!! She was one of 39,000+ participants and ran under an anoymous name so as not to cause a fuss for the other participants.

BRAVO Katie! What a woman!
Tom and Suri watched....

Humm...do you think Tom could do that...?
Pls star if you are IMPRESSED! Thanx, cuz I certainly am...

This is my first pillowtop and after sleeping in it for a few days I still wake up puffy-faced and stiff. Could it be the pillowtop? I feel like I sink quite a bit when I lie in it but the mattress under the pillowtop is supposed to be firm. I'm thinking about returning the mattress for the model without the pillowtop but I love that softness. However, I also need the support. Am I not giving it enough "break in" time? I'd really appreciate hearing others' stories because it already took long enough for the mattress to get here, I hate to think I need to start all over again.

My brother (he's 13) was diagnosed with Osteosarcoma (bone cancer) about a month ago and he's already started Chemo. His right knee is about three times the size of his other knee because of the tumor and it's pressing against a cluster of nerves. He'll have surgery Christmas week so we'll probably be spending Christmas in the hospital. He's in pain and he's scared, and he wants to cut off his leg. I don't blame him; if they only replace his knee, he'll never run again and the chance of recurrence is greater if he keeps his leg. He doesn't eat much because he doesn't feel good and he's crabby and demanding. I don't mind his attitude because he's got a right to act that way, I just don't like how I respond to it. I try to be patient, but so far I haven't done so well. I'm going to buy him an iPod so he doesn't get too bored in the hospital, but is there anything else I can do for him? I tell him I love him every day.

Once I was up until 6:30 a.m. jumping and dacing/ singing for hours to loud music, without being tired at all. I was shaking because I was so active and could barely type from the shaking. I even started climbing the furniture in my room, like the dressers and stuff. I was so happy and had high self esteem. Is this considered a manic episode? Or not..?

I just binge on rubbish and don't do any exercise.

i have lost all motivation to keep fit and slim down. picturing myself in that lovely dress has the opposite effect of motivation and just makes me eat more cos I feel like i will never reach my goal!

Whatever i find I eat and often have 2 dinners etc. I literally cannot help myself. I just eat and don't care! Nothing has majorly changed in my life over the last 2 months.

Anyone got suggestions that might motivate me?

or at the very least, keep me away from the biscuit tin?

I'm 13 & have been bulimic since I was 11
its not a constant thing but I've been through about 3-4 times that I threw up everything
I haven't ever told anyone I was bulimic except my best friend & I don't think she believed me

I don't want help
but I know that I need it

last year I told my mom I cut myself and she was very understanding
so I don't think she would be mad

I've been suffering from depression for a little over a year now
but I was bulimic before I was diagnosed with depression

I don't like bulimia
I really hate it
I just want to lose about 20 lbs
I'm 5'2.5 & weigh about 124
I checked my bmi a few weeks ago and it said I was at risk of becoming overweight
that really upset me

the boy I like used to be anorexic
he's really great
& he was the reason I became bulimic this time
he didn't pressure me or insult me or anything
he is just so skinny and it makes me insecure when I am around him

I am bulimic right now
& I know this is serious
I just don't know what to do!

I eat right and exercise everyday. I saw many people smoke, drink, overweight but do not do anything about it...end up seeing doctors, going through surgeries...shouldn't they pay more than I do?

No offense. Fact is fact no matter I say it or not.

The diarrhea comes several times a day although I sleep well. I have lomotil..helps but not a cure. Is there anything to lessen this side effect since I have to take it for 10 days and the previous antibiotic (5 days) caused same problem. Diarrhea is not a common problem for me. I am female age 60. I also take Cymbalta and had melanoma level 3 removed from my arm approx 4 mos ago.

I'm a 14 year old boy. I just started masturbating about 3 weeks ago, and now I masturbate 1-2 times everyday. Is it normal for me to get this unavoidable urge to masturbate everyday ?? And usually I get this urge to masturbate out of nowhere, even if I'm just sitting at home doing homework. It seems as if I can't stop masturbating for more than 3 days is it normal ??

10 weeks ago I had a lot of knee cartilage removed & did the first 9 weeks of PT without any real problems. Last week my "bad" knee started giving me intense pain while bearing weight. Not when at rest, but only when walking or spinning on a bike. No new injury has occurred. How do I rebuild the muscles around the knee? I have 4 weeks of PT left so far & I seem to be regressing. Can steroids & / or HGH help me? So far my surgen says "no"...
