As a working mom, what's your biggest stress?

What was the FINAL straw that finally convinced you to drop the weight???
It's different for everyone. For some, it was their doctor, for other's, it may have been a reflection in a store window. There are a million events that could trigger us to finally say 'that's it! I'm losing weight!'
For Bob Mewse, it was a photo he caught of himself on Google Street View! Street View is a service that gives you a 360 degree view of a location on a map, including buildings, cars and people.
Bob was captured by Google street View cameras standing by the side of the road, and he was stunned: "I was horrified when I saw that photo. I was massive. My belly was sticking out and I looked huge."
After seeing that picture, he joined a gym and went on a diet. The 300 pounder is now down to 200 pounds and plans to keep going. His blood pressure and back problems are also back in check, as well. "If I can do this, anybody can – I'm just an ordinary bloke."

13 Bad Habits to Avoid If You're Single
You're single and loving it, but not forever, right? It would be nice to find someone, but there's a good chance you never will if you, let's say, become the third wheel with annoying couples, hide, or constantly look back on happier times. Those are three of 13 bad habits to avoid if you're single... here are a few more from Marie Claire magazine:
- Looking Down: Avoid "looking down," or over analyzing a situation. Instead, keep yourself busy.
- Settling for an Easy Cure for Your Loneliness: Staying in bad relationships and one-night stands are examples.
- Celebrating Singleness Too Much: Be 'single and proud,' but if you get too rebellious about it, you might end up swearing off dating completely.
- Assuming Everyone Sucks: Everyone doesn't suck.
Those are the highlights - get the rest of the list here

Princess Diana's ring is an oval sapphire surrounded by diamonds, according to People.com. Kate's parents are reportedly "thrilled" by the announcement. Look for the big event this spring or summer. Check out this photo
Just hours after announcing their engagement, William and Kate posed for photographers in the State Rooms of St James's Palace. The Prince said they are both "very, very happy," and Kate said joining the Royal Family is a "daunting prospect. Hopefully I'll take it in stride."

"We are very compatible," says Julianne Hough about her new boyfriend, Ryan Seacrest. The two have been dating since the summer, just as Hough's movie career started booming. She's currently promoting "Burlesque," and just wrapped up shooting the remake of "Footloose," but that hasn't stopped her from pursuing a relationship: "The things that matter most to me, you just make time for," she says.
Even though the "Dancing With the Stars" judge's believed she was the weakest of the group, Bristol Palin has been a survivor -- but it would surely come to an end last night, right? With only four dancers left, there was no way she could survive --- or did she? Um...she did. Palin is in the finals. Brandy got the boot in what co-host Brook Burke described as a "shock."
So the final three will go at it on Dancing With the Stars next week. Jennifer Grey, Kyle Massy and Bristol Palin.
