    I used to be very worried what people would think, so I rarely spoke my mind. I kind of broke out of my shell when I was around 20-21ish, and I started not giving a darn what people thought. So my username is a play on "Mindy says whatever she wants."

    My husband was a member of a racing newsgroup. His username was FrriFrk. When he asked me to join it, I chose FrksFrau partly to use his moniker. Our last name is of German origin, so I added the Frau part. It is now my permanent username where ever I may roam.

    Ugh i HATE my username but i was here years ago for like a day and changed it to this when i started again. Wish i could change it just one more time... Regret putting CT in it too, as i want a little more anonymity. Lol i know jennifers common but with a picture up, i just dont want to think about the possibility of people i know reading my deepest darkest secrets, such as my starbucks addiction. Shameful lol.

    Mfp- why cant we change our names more? Maybe if weve been inactive for a long time or once every 5 years? Lol something!

    When I was little my mom used to call me Hezemakiah. I have no idea where it came from. I didn't like it. (And - she was always trying to get me to lose weight.) But after she died, nobody called me that anymore and it was kind of sad. So for my weight loss journey I made it my name on MFP :)

    Mine was Momspective because I used to be a mommy blogger and my tag line was "Take a look from this mom's perspective" and I've always hated it. From reading this I saw I can change my name so I did to reflect the email I've used my whole life. JulieAnneFIU. First and middle name and the FIU used to stand for Fire it up when I was in high school but I suppose now can mean Fun in utopia.

    The secret formula for mine:
    Favorite band = The Clash
    One of my favorite Clash songs = Rudie Can't Fail
    Can't Fail = Seems like and inspiring mantra for MFP
    rudiecantfail = user name already taken
    rudie = derivation of rudeboy
    rudeboycantfail = available on MFP = score!

    My username is kind of my first real nsv. My cat used to sleep on my boobs with her head resting on my shoulder - no hands. When I had lost about 17 pounds, I picked her up and she fell right off, hanging on for a minute by one paw. I was telling a friend this story and he was reminded of Cliffhanger which left me with a Stallone brain worm. I went home looked up the movie, hit this (obvious?) image and...

    Could this be Yiddish?

    For some reason this rings a bell for me, but I have no idea what it means.

    I'm unoriginal... Mine is just my first name, middle name and the initial of my last name. I called my instagram account "herbodyblog" because I've been reading "The Body Book" by Cameron Diaz and because my instagram really is just my fitness journey in photos.
