Years ago when my kids were little we watched the movie Kangaroo Jack. There was a guy named Jackie Leggs. My name is Jackie just spelled Jaci so Jacileggs was born. I also use it for most things.

Wls4me because one day out of frustration, after quitting weight watchers for me I said to my husband "weight loss surgery for me it is now". Not very creative

My hooker name however: Buffy Fifth Avenue. Sounds like I'm a high class hooker ?de1c

My name comes from my dream to one day be skinny and beautiful wearing skimpy clothes. I was a lap band to bypass revision so I finally feel this may happen

I usually go by Toxiclight, as that's my handle pretty much everywhere (my website is under that, and most of my art is produced under Toxiclight Art and Design), but I wanted something different for here. In the few months prior to coming here, I had started designing tattoos, and I drew a whole lot of infinity symbols and butterflies, and I can relate both to this journey. The commitment to a new lifestyle is eternal (infinite), and the butterfly refers to coming out of my cocoon of fat and being the beautiful person I was always intended to be,

Back in the day 18 years ago, I needed a name for an EBAY account. There was a document labled Production Action Request (PAR). I used the acronim and added my birth years. I have used par1959 as my go to since then. It could also be my over par score playing golf.

It is the simplest description of me, county + "gal" + zip code, to be honest I use it for websites I am not sure of, well nearly 10 months later I am still a BariatricPal.

I played fiddle a lot during my college years (helped pay tuition, books and food). For a short while, I even was part of a Celtic band and we played a few pro venues (read: paid), including show box in Seattle. One of my favorite busking places was on capital hill because people were so giving and colorful. Now that I am "grown up with responsibilities", I have not fiddled so much in the last 10 years because of family, work and other time commitments, but I would love to get the bug again to do it. I used to play all over the Seattle area at this jam session and that jam session, hopping from tavern to bookstore to eatery, usually given Guinness for our tunes. So that is where my user name comes from.

What a fun thread! Always good to hear the "rest" of everyone's story.

Many years ago I was the office manager for a group of automation engineers at a very large defense company. Their nickname for me was Empress of the Known Universe and Beyond (EKUB). Since then, I've defaulted to the Empress moniker whenever needing to set up a userid (other than my actual name) and since I live in Colorado, it made sense to add the Colo to the front.

Blessings!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
