I find a lot of names on here interesting and I'm sure there are good stories behind how everyone chose them. Anyone like to share? For me, Kindle is my horse's name and she was the "straw that broke the camel's back" in my decision to have VSG. I feel bad for her, having to lug my fat ass around the mountains and would love to be able to hop on her without having to find a rock or log to climb up on. (there's a dozen other reasons behind my decision, but my profile name is my tribute to her and how much more fun we will have next summer!)

Blue skies, My name has a similar story to yours.. My husband, the love of my life, and the kindest man I ever knew, had a complete mental breakdown and I have not seen him since (he fled the country thinking the FBI was chasing him and that I was a spy) I felt like my life was over and that I couldn't possibly survive without him...Whenever I would feel like I couldn't get out of bed in the morning I would just tell myself "**** happens... it happens to everyone" This helped at first but eventually I needed more than that and I started looking for and appreciating the serendipitous moments in life... and there are many. Now every time I see my username or log in here, I'm reminded that around every corner there are happy discoveries to be made... without any reason... good things are just there for the taking...

I have a Tinkerbell fetish. Tink is my hooker name also lol

Fun thread!

Oh - I looked up my stripper name yesterday:

Randy Lays

My wife loves it!! That is from my real name, not my VST name.

My name is Dawniel -pronounced dawn yell. Dawnyellow is what my friends called me when I was a kid.

I am Gary Batchelder and I am a man' date=' hence the name GmanBat. Yawn... [/quote']

Lol

Loving reading this thread, thx for starting it. As for me, I am a massage therapist and my business name was Deez2Hands as a play on the words "these 2 hands". So I decided that when I started this journey, I'd choose my name, Dee Dee, plus one of my biggest goals for after the surgery. Ive not worn a pair of jeans since 1999 only rubber waisted pants! And my wish is to be able to wear a single digit pair of jeans one-day, hence the name, DeezJeanz!! And I guarantee I'll b posting a pic in " these jeans" the very day it happens. Finally got a surgery date, Lord willing, Dec 30th!! Woohoo been a long journey:))

I love this! My name is embarrassing I had tried to get on this site for weeks and wouldn't let me. I was watching RHOA and heard donkey booty (I've gottin called

big butt all my life) so I laughed while typing AND it works!! Couldn't believe it but since nothing else worked it just seemed right! LMFBO (pun intended)

As 50th birthday present to myself I bought a scooter. It is so much fun to ride I feel like a kid again' date=' hence "scootergirl" rather than "scooter middle aged lady". Thanks to my sleeve I have lost enough weight to carry my daughter on the scooter with me. We have a great time together as we ride. Thank you, sleeve.[/quote']

My husband and kids gave me a scooter Mother's Day 2012. I love riding it but looking even more so now that I will soon be loosing weight.!!!! I will be able to go faster.

I took on the name Miss Mac when I started a new job as a supervisor in 2008. All the supervisors carried radios and our names were called out frequently as our team members needed us. There was another supervisor with my first name, and a team member with a similar syllable in the last name, so I had to come up with something that would be clear on the radio. I got this job right after the great Bernie Mac died. Since the first part of my Scottish last name was Mac, that sounded OK enough. Hence, Miss Mac, with no further confusion. I am retired now, but I still like the name.

My name is Heather. Heather is a purple flower in Ireland and well the 78 should be 79 but I have fat fingers and can't change it! So Irishflower78 it is

I was Fluffy on another internet board years ago.

I'm dying here, I should have gone with my stripper name. Tiger Stratton.

Good thread. My need to lose the weight is due to mobility issues. I have severe arthritis in both knees and had to lose around 70 lbs before getting them replaced. Got to that goal about six months after being banded but found out I needed both hips replaced first. Had that done five weeks ago and am currently recuperating. My fervent hope is to go walking any time and anywhere. For those of us with terrible chronic pain, walking around without pain is a huge motivator. I'm already doing a lot better and am grateful to the band for helping me get this far.
