Penni and Betsy

In a different thread, Penni made reference to naming her band "Betsy". I'm wondering if anyone else has named their band?

I'm thinking I'll call mine "Portia" !

Posted: Mon Nov 18, 2002 5:54 am Post subject: I named my weight loss Obie City, and you....?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When I belonged to Weight Watchers, some of us decided to "name" our weight loss because it's always the weight of another person, from babies weighing a few pounds to toddlers, teens, and adults weighing all kinds of pounds. Some "losers" referred to it as a cyber baby, but everyone thought up a clever name.

I decided on Obie City. After I'm banded, I will start adding weight to Obie City until he's a big feller, ready to go out in the world to fend for himself. Or maybe we could send them all to a special place called Fat City. One condition: he can't come back. He can email and he can call, but he can't come back.

Some other names could be: Ima Gedden Thinner, Bustine Out, Thurgood

Tobie Lighter, or Hips Ahoy. Well, you get the idea. Thought it might be fun to watch each others' little critters grow and grow, the bigger the better. What do you think?

I read this on another forum and thought it was hilarious. Kind of reminded me of this thread and something Lisa/ Delarla said about somebody gaining our weight that we have lost. Otherwise this was a DEAD website. BORING, I left a couple of posts for people aiming them towards this sight. It was basically a few posts from a few people researching the band or on their way for a band and didn't seem to know much about it. Not very active AT ALL. Teresa
