I bet I'm the only one who lost 200 lbs since their 23rd bday and totally transformed my body!

Not to say that I have the perfect body- I'm certainly far from it. But it's a far cry from what I used to be!!

This is FANTASTIC!! Congratulations... Did you subscribe to a particular program or just change of lifestyle?

After trying every diet under the sun I found out i had celiac disease ...

Love you, Celiac buddy!

Who still has a baby tooth!

It's near the front & in 11th grade the dentist told me to wiggle it. Yeah right... like I was going to wiggle it & be missing a tooth for senior pictures... or high school... or college... or on my wedding day... or any day thereafter! There simply just isn't a convenient time to be missing a tooth near the front after elementary school!

And just in case someone does... I was also born on Friday the 13th, met MH on the 13th, got engaged on the 13th, and got married on the 13th!

I have a fraternal twin brother, 4 minutes younger!

I lived in an 1840s (empty) workhouse in Ireland for a month. It was for a school project. I did have a classmate with me and a cat.

I was on the math team all 4 years of high school and absolutely LOVED it!! It was my favorite high school activity and I don't consider myself all that smart either lol

Same here! I went to all the math competitions and then was president of the math club. Funny, though, since I took all the AP classes in high school, I never took a math class in college.

...who plays the accordion.

Good to know! MH plays the accordion & I have it packed in the tip top of the closet. When we first got married he would walk around the house in his boxers & play the accordion for hours. That's why it's hidden now.

I love my TI 83-plus. I have one that my students aren't allowed to borrow (sometimes they walk away) because I don't like getting stuck with a TI-89 or Casio.

Friday the 13th is a lucky day for me too! My mother was born on Halloween and my father on Friday the 13th. My husband proposed on Friday the 13th and the embryo transfer that resulted in this pregnancy was on Friday the 13th!

Other unique things.. I can walk on my toe knuckles and sit like a spread out frog. Had back surgery at 12 so I have some hardware in there.

So do I

But I bet I'm the only one who is afraid of the dark. Like I will not walk up the stairs unless there is a light on. DH makes fun of me pretty much every night, and I really don't care. It's not going to change. Even funnier is that it didn't really start until I was an adult. Maybe I should lay off the vampire books...lol

We never had a MC President (I prob would have killed for that position lol) but I was second highest scorer for the club. I had to take a bunch of math classes for college, mostly stats like ones though for my economics degree.

I don't eat frozen veggies, but I do eat uncooked pasta while I'm waiting for the water to boil. Like you, it's something I've done since I was a little kid
