User names - just wondering how you came up with yours. Some are fairly obvious but then others are really intriguing.If you are happy to share I would love to know how you chose yours.

Mine is really boring. elcee = my first 2 initials L C for Lynn Christine.

Hey, I know this is the "Chick Room", but I would sure like to know the origin of some of your user names. It's quite an interesting thing to observe, how/why people select their User names and passwords.

I would have thought there would be more replies to this by now!

yes, I suppose if I was to post here, I should probably include MINE!

Many moons ago, I played in a Rock and Roll band, we toured all over the place, and we had lots of nice little groupies. As a result, my band mates gave me that nickname.

I will let your imagination fill in the sordid details......:)

I have used it ever since, even going back to the "CB Radio" days, where it was my "handle".

Unfortunately, it's not all that unique, and you will find "headhunters" in forums all over the planet. I should have Trademarked it....:)

Well, I AM the pool girl. May to October that's where you'll find me except when I cruise LBT. And of course my avatar looks just like me as I gracefully dive into the pool....snicker, yeah, sure.TPG Splash

I'm probably misspelling it, but its what my grandmother called me when I was young, because I started talking at a very young age. I was told it means chatterbox.

I worked at a concert venue and we would use nicknames on our nametags. So when ppl would say Karamel said she would get me in free the door ppl knew they didnt actually know me lol. I became karamel because I worked with 2 gay guy who were a mixed couple and we called them vanilla and chocolate and since im a skin tone in between I became Karamel lol. I had to make it a little more interesting than Caramel so I spelled it with a K :)

My besrt friend Michelle, past away in Jan of 08, she was 34, breast cancer. Anyway, I am pretty clutsy and she was always calling me "stumbelina". So i felt if i used that as my username it was a way for her to be a part of this journey with me.

Mine is pretty boring - really! It is our email address and I can remember it when I log in.

So K= Kristen, R=Ross, Tork=Torkelson = krtork.

No big mystery here. I am a proud bookworm and swot. These are names I've been called all my life. :)

I couldn't think of anything (I had never picked a username that was going to be visible to others) so I picked slim because that is what I want to be and TN because that is where I am.

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. 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?
      Thanks

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
