Hi Everyone!

My name is Nickie and I have been reading the posts in this forum for a while now but thought I would say hello finally :D

Everyone on this site is an inspiration and as I have been dieting on and off for around 15 years I have to say that this is one of the most encouraging and supportive sites out there :D

I am an alternative woman into my punk, goth, rock, metal music and it would be fantastic - if there were any other rockers out there trying to lose weight - if you want to 'friend' me and help each other out on this weight loss journey as well as chat music and lifestyle in the process - always great to combine the two :D

I would love to hear from ANYBODY on this site of course, not JUST alternative minded people but thought i would be specific with this post :D

Have a great weekend everyone!

Nickie

    I am surprised you aren't getting more feedback on this one!! I am different alright! lol I used to enjoy really living the goth/punk lifestyle but now that I have a job that deals with the public I have a harder time getting away with the piercings and hair dying. The tattoos are here to stay though! And my hair will never be in it's natural state.... *shiver* blonde.

    As you can tell my daughter has blonde hair lol She is adorable and some people can rock the blond locks... just not me.

    Hi, Yep a fellow rock chick! Alternative? I've been called that amongst other things :tongue: Definitely into rock and metal. Fave band Megadeth - (can't wait to hear the new album now Dave Elefson's back in the fold). :devil:

    i'm of the original seattle grunge variety myself - which is great, because no matter how much weight i put on, i can never seem to outgrow my trusty flannel (which is looking better and better these days)! i'm sending you a friend request with some info on our twilight challenge that's running up to the new breaking dawn movie if you're interested - that's going to be a rockin' birthday party!

    I'm into 90s grunge as well! I also do a bit of new rock and lots of stuff from the 60s and 70s. I love Seger, The Beatles and Supertramp. I'm a nerd!

    Hi and welcome! I too used to be a goth/crusty/grunge fan but like others here I've toned down my appearance a lot - still like a lot of the music though!

    Just got back from the Download festival two weeks ago - does that count?! As I'm 40 (yikes) I've been through many music phases (indie, metal, grunge, industrial etc) and still listen to alternative stuff although, like some others, I don't really wear the t-shirt anymore. I used to have the sides of my head shaved and the rest dyed purple and didn't own any footwear other than combat boots and Doc Martens haha...... I will send a friend request \m/

    You are decribing me!! I too am a natural blondie but have dyed my hair dark (either red, purple or black) since I was 18. I too have an office job where I have to meet clients to I have taken most of my piercings out (Lip, tongue, nose) but still have some stretched lobes & Tatttoos that arent going anywhere!!

    I love rock, metal, alternative, industrial, grunge & punk music <3 I dress much tamer and am more into rockabilly/retro/1950's style rather than the ripped jeans/ army shirts and doc martins from days of yore.......

    Feel free to add me :o)
