Did you name your band?

Hi Everyone!

I am curious. After two years, I have decided to name my band.

His name is Bandit. He is male because he acts as my "Food Police" the way my DH once did.

He is Bandit because he sometimes steals my meal from me!

My DH and I like it, he can ask how Bandit is doing and no one knows what we are talking about. Sort of like our little code. A bit of silliness.

So, did you name yours? Why or why not?

I am curious if you think giving a band a name gives credit to something other than yourself for your losses, when it is really YOU to whom the credit belongs. You make the proper food choices. You do the exercise.

What do you think?

have not yet but i think its cool and will think about one that fits

I had no intention of naming my band until this thread, but now I think I need to. I'm going to call it Bella, because it's going to make me beautiful!

Tee hee! I thought I may be the only one!

My band has a few names. I call it "the alien", "Sven" (he's Swedish) or "the thing" and my husband and my bandmate call me "borg queen" hehehe.

Good to know I'm not alone in the naming of my thingee. :)

Mine is Geraldo!!! Don't have a clue why it just is!!!

I never even thought about naming it. Have some serious thinking to do.

My band and port names are Thelma and Louis! lol. I love that movie. My band and port are in this battle against weightloss together til the end! lol.

Ok I had not thought about this till now...........my port has and always will be my baby.....its up close to the skin and can feel it well....sometimes you might see me rubbing it like I would when I was pregnant....I just named the band......ralph....I do it alot if I eat fast, or the wrong thing.......Love this poll and now I have a name for my band.........

I hope Realize people can play here too. :)

I'm leaning toward Effie for the band. I'll have to think on the port.

There doesn't seem to by much support on the Realize forum here.:sifone:

I had thought about Louis for my band because I named my GPS Thelma. I'll keep thinking.

I don't care who made your band! All are welcome! :P

Effie is cute! It can easily turn into "you Effing Band!"

Exactly!!:thumbup::laugh:

i like this idea of naming my band. i'm not yet banded and will wait til after to choose a name. i want to see what kind of "personality" my band has first. lol

I just came up with a name for my band. My band is called "MiniMe". I picked this name because soon this band is going to help me see the version of the mini me lol and Im calling my port "Babypokey" bc it always pokes out & when I touch it I feel like Im touchin a baby

Yes I named my band about a week after I was banded. I named it SNOOKIE after the short little over tanned chic from The show JERSEY SHORE. lol. My band is little, loud and obnoxious and can take a hit. lol

Hysterical! I love that nickname.

My band is Lucy. It's a nice discrete way to let my husband know I'm full or hungry just by saying "Lucy is talking to me." (Although I just realized people around me may think I'm hearing voices.) My husband even calls it Lucy!

My port is Ethel. Good pair and they keep things entertaining, never know what to expect from them - the same as the TV duo.

Ok as soon as I read this I flashed on the episode when they are working at the candy factory and can't keep up so they stuff the chocolates into their faces. OMG I am laughing so hard my incisions are killing me.

:thumbup:
