ciao said: "I chose ciao because it means both hello and goodbye in Italian- I'm saying hello to you guys, and goodbye to the weight ;)"

:("
cravin2bthin said: "Well.. simply put.. i am craving nothing but to be thin! :rolleyes:"
featherish said: "Very cool names and reasons for screennames.
I made mine up one day, and it stuck! It's sort of a play on my real name..
Lotus.. If you'd like, I could fix your name for you.. I'm pretty sure that your post count and everything will stay the same, so let me know!"
featherish said: "LotusLeaf!
You're fixed :)"
Henrietta said: "It's my first name :)"
Heather said: "I have always loved Sugar snap Peas.
Pretty weird, but I like it :)"
Heather said: "Your kids are cute!
They look happy in that pic :)"
helplesscase said: "I dont know know really. I guess its because at the time I did join this board, I was a helpless case. :rolleyes:"
cvalh said: "CValH... Boring...
C is the first letter of my first name, then Valentine is my middle name, then H is the first letter of my last name. Over time, in various forums, it's been turned into CVal (here included)."
UniqueMystique said: "I've been told all my life by my family, friends, teachers, etc that I'm very unique. I also have a very unique first name. I've been told by the male pursation that I don't give much information about myself in the beginning...making me mysterious. Plus it rhymes. ;)"

This section of this site is entitled "Water Cooler" and it is for anything that the members want to talk about. It does not necessarily have to be about "weight loss". After all...there is more to life than just losing weight. There are also many other factors that are key to losing weight....one being enjoyment. This is a really fun community with very supportive members. I'm sorry that you are not happy here."
UniqueMystique said: "No problem. :) It's just that non-stop talk about weight loss would be quite a boring subject. There is so much more that contributes to being a healthy, happy person. And I don't know about you.....but I'd rather know a little something about the people I might take advice from. ;) I hope that you find the site a bit more friendly than you anticipated....we're all one big happy family and we're all on the same quest."
spectrachic311 said: "Freshman year of college, I took my nice natural blonde hair and bleached it white, then dyed it bright bright purple. We were learning about absorbtion spectra of elements in chem at the time, and a classmate of mine started calling me "spectrachic" and the name stuck :)"
Holly said: "I guess I win the award for the most unoriginal screen name!
I just figured...well, that's my name!
My nickname in "real life" isn't really appropriate. I've been told that I'm stubborn and very tenacious so my fiancee lovingly calls me lilsh*t.
I hope I didn't offend anybody. At work they used to call me the Boss...even though I wasn't. :)
You can see why I chose my real first name."
lotusleaf said: "well, mine should be lotusleaf, but when i registered-my finger slipped and i pressed the g instead of the f!!! Doh. Anyway, i have been known as lotus for a while, or lotusleaf online, and this is because i study buddhism and the lotus flower is very symbolic."
lotusleaf said: "if you could fix it for me, id be really grateful!!!!!"
lotusleaf said: "yayyy thanks for fixing me!!!!"
Qian said: "Why did you chose your screen name?
I chose mine because it is my chinese surname."
Sassysurfnic said: "[B][COLOR=Teal]Ok, the name Sassysurfnic I have had for about 5 years now. I can sometimes be a bit "sassy" (aka.smarta**). When I moved to Florida I was totally into the beach thing and I wanted to learn how to surf so, my uncle gave me the nickname "surfnic" well put them together and ya get Sassysurfnic. It's is very original I think, and everytime someone asks me for my screename or email address, they either laugh :D and say they like it or they kinda give me alook like"what did she say?" :confused:
I like it I have had it for so long and I think it suits me well :cool:[/COLOR][/B]"
loobe said: "I chose loobe as its a play on my name. I am known by most as Lou and Be are the first two letters of my surname, hence loobe :)"
Ms.Brender said: "Well, being from the south, I've always been called Brender instead of Brenda. I fought it for years, but I've finally embrassed it! What the heck! :)
I also work with kids, so that's where the "ms." comes from."
want2losew8 said: "I chose mine because i REALLY REALLY want to lose weight hence want2losew8"
Scarlett said: "[QUOTE=TryingToLose45lbs.]I see a lot of people talking about "screen names" and not weight loss. I posted and no one has answered my questions. Any ideas how to get off of this board "unsign" myself so I can join another site?[/QUOTE]
Just don't post here anymore if you don't find it helpful.
Oh and btw this is the section of this site where you talk about whatever (hence the reason people are talking about their SN's here in this section).
I don't know where your other thread is where you asked your question, but just b/c people haven't answered it yet doesn't mean that they won't...nor does it mean that we all sit around talking about our names all day. :cool:"
GreenEyes said: "I picked my name from having green eyes. I have been told that I'm a green eyed devil...lol :D
Hey Sassysurfnic, my name is Sass.....I get called Sassy all the time! I married into the name, a crazy Italian family :D But I love them all!"
shy_doll said: "Well half of mine is pretty obvious, I'm a lil shy and doll because that is what my hubby calls me."
meldives said: "I think the screen name I normall use was taken, so I had to think of another one. My first name is Melissa and I get called Mel and I love scubadiving, so I came up with meldives :D"
fitwitch said: "I agree with the others.... this is a place for us to bond and strengthen our friendship... what is the point of having a weight loss community that you have no bond with? No reason to be accountable etc etc etc. Plus you don't feel like you have real support unless you have other people cheering you on, that you have talked to and gotten to know a bit!"
Kat_the_Amazon said: "Ever since we first met, my fiancee always called me his Amazon Woman because i was tall,shapely, and (in his words) beautiful. My name is Katharine, some people call me Kat... therefore.. Kat_the_Amazon. Kinda kooky i'm afraid. But i like it :)"

that's rather harsh, don't you think? I believe there are lots of topics revolving around weight loss in other areas of this forum! Just give time for people to reply and they will :)"
daytimedreamer said: "nothing mysterious i just have always spent half my life day dreaming so picked it for a different forum i joined but they already had a daydreamer so i changed it to daytimedreamer and it stuck although most of my friends online in forums call me dtd apart from the one who gets puddled and calls me ddt but i swear i aint poison lol"
2littlemessmakers said: "My name is very easy... i have 2 little mess makers Cameron is 5 and a bit of a messy kid and Leah is one and she is a hurricane.. she will make her own mess then go and find camerons mess turn it upside down add to it and spread it out more lol.. As far as Leah is concerned if her food hasn't been on the floor smooshed into the carpet ,rubbed through her her or licked by the dog then she just cant eat it lol..."
Ebony said: "When I was a kid, Ebony was my favourite name. Nothing more deep and meaningful to it i'm afraid!"
Cassandra said: "[COLOR=DarkOliveGreen][FONT=Lucida Sans Unicode]It's my name :D :p [/FONT] [/COLOR]"
kemb2722 said: "Mine is boring. It's the same name as my college assigned me for my school email. :p First four letters of my last name and a random number sequence..."

TryingToLose45lbs. said: ":o Didn't mean to offend anyone or anger anyone. I guess I spoke too soon. Hope you all can forgive me. I guess I posted at the wrong site (or was looking at the wrong site (water cooler)). Hope you all can forgive me!"
