    I went by alteredstates on some other online forums. Seemed appropriate here as I am attempting to alter my physical state. Added 175 which was my weight loss goal.

    I am at war with my weight, it's no longer just a battle of the bulge; it's do or die trying & I love history, particularly strategic success!

    I wasn't actually the first.


    I've found that the vast majority of people who put a 2-digit number at the tail end of their username are denoting their birth year. That makes you 28, @BlaqueDiamond1989

    To edit your post, hover your cursor over your post. Within an hour of posting, you will see a little gear in the upper right of your post. Selecting the gear allows you to choose to edit your post, and also tells you how much time remains in your edit window.

    Wow! How old does that make me look?!?

    When I signed up, I didn't know there were forums (bc I didn't research the site further than knowing it was a calorie counting site). So, I picked the username that was assigned to me for a class I took bc I was too lazy to come up with something original. Had, I known I would be posting stuff under this name, I might of picked a better one, but now that it's already set I don't care enough to change it. Oh well...

    I named myself after my favourite tarantula (common name Antilles Pinktoe) but changed the spelling because we use UK spelling in South Africa. It is my favourite T because it starts off blue (which is my favourite colour) and as it grows it changes colour.

    I was grumpy and thinking about dogs. I also like silly ways to say things.

    I wanted a more anonymous name when I joined the forums and came up with this when my dog was running circles around me on a trail run.

    Most of my user names come from obscure Lou Reed lyrics.
