So we all have interesting screen names on MFP... But what are your real names? My name is Heather and I'm almost (in Feb) 31 years old with a five year old son and I'm happily married. My goal is to get to about 150lbs but really would like to see at least 160-165 lbs. Right now I'm 198lbs and I've almost lost 10 lbs since I started. I'm trying a low carb diet and exercising at least 3-4 times per week. I'm here for motivation and friends and encouragement during my weight loss journey. What's your story?

I'm Nicole. I'm 32 years old with a 4 year old son and a 10 month old daughter. I just celebrated my 5 year wedding anniversary. My goal (for now) is 165. I am currently 203 (down from 226). I started about 3 months ago. I exercise 4 times a week (mostly walking/jogging) and am doing portion control and watching my calories. I am also here for motivation and support.0

Good to meet you Tonya. And yes "my name is Carrie" is a funny response. Apparently I didn't think this thru. I know some of u really are using your real names as your username. I was mainly talking about the ones that didn't.0 -

My names Kelly. This is the only website I have ever used my actual name. A good majority of the inter-webs thinks my names Lexi.

This reminds me of a movie from the 80's "I know my first name is Steven" lol
My name is Angela -just like many other women born in the mid Seventies.

I was obsessed with the game Bioshock Infinite when I joined mfp, and one of the characters in that is an awesome giant, metal, steampunk-looking bird (named Songbird) which inspired my username. My real name is Laura.0

That's awesome! I appreciate the reasoning behind your username. Mine is pretty boring. First three letters are the first letter of my first, middle and last name and the numbers are the month, day and year I got married.SteampunkSongbird wrote: »I was obsessed with the game Bioshock Infinite when I joined mfp, and one of the characters in that is an awesome giant, metal, steampunk-looking bird (named Songbird) which inspired my username.

I dont even use my real name in my off web life. Everyone just knows me as Lee. Even in the shows I perform in, its Lee. Single mom 37 with 2 teen kids. We all work in theatre and film.( Family in plays together,stays together) Been working on my weight so I m not always the funny fat girl side kick in shows.0

My name is Chris, and I feel I've heard far too many times that "it's not the heat that gets you, it's the humidity" or some variation. I know it's the humidity that's the bad part. I know it's not so bad if it's a dry heat like in Colorado. I know you sweat more when it's humid outside and that makes it more uncomfortable. I find it more funny than annoying, though; I'm not that much of a grouch.
So eventually this became sort of a joke between me and my friends, and now it's my screen name for a bunch of things because, well, why not?0 -
My real name is Karen. My middle name is Elizabeth. I have used my childish version of my middle name as a screen name many times but usually I prefer just Wizzy, but apparently when I signed up, Wizzy was taken. When I was little I always said my first and middle name (middle name after a pause) when people would ask me my name. My name is Karen. Wizzabeff. LOL

(If you contact TPTB, they'll almost certainly let you change it...
...because having your real name (or something really close to it) as your username is generally known as a Very Bad Idea™. I'd start with a PM to Olivia.)
Meanwhile, my real name is jofjltncb6. My parents had a sick sense of humor.0
