    I like to ride street bikes over a 100mph while canyon carving... among other crazy things. And the #34 was my volleyball and basketball number for years

    It's a combo of my first and last names that was turned into a nickname when I got married.

    I was thinking about changing it but can't come up with anything clever or cute.

    because I was oh so clever and had even made my ONE and ONLY change to add the _ between my first and first 3 of my last name. Super. Boring. Ah well. What's in a name, right? :wink:

    I am a journalist and a lot of my "following" know me as MzExec. I think for me MzExec is a reminder of who I WANT to be. I want to be that slim and sexy executive in the music and entertainment industry. I feel the name is only fitting! :)

    I've always wanted to be a runner but my fitness and weight has always been my excuse. I'm always jealous of people that can just run. So when I started MFP I made a promise to myself that I would one day be one of those people that can just run for a great distance.

    I was going to be a future runner!

    *like* I have runner dreams too! :wink:

    I call my son Juicy (Juien and he has juicy lips :) and 8 is my favorite number......and clearly Im a little on the juicy side as well!! Lmao!!!:blushing:

    Jecka because my friends (and now my nieces) couldn't say my name correctly as little kids (Jessica) and the 31 because I joined the day after my 31st birthday. My nieces call me Aunt Jecka even though they all can say Jessica.

    My daughter nicknamed me Daddiocoolcat after a character in a children's book. I am a musician as well as an accountant. I suppose the jazz music and the goatee I wore at the time made my a Daddiocoolcat. Haha

    I don't use my real name on the internet (apart from FB I freaking HATE FB), so it was just deciding what else I could use.

    I've changed my name on here once first time it was a handle I've been using everywhere with was a combination of my fandoms (buffy and harry potter). This one however is a song title from my favourite band. I have plans for a chest piece with this phrase on my chest at my goal weight.

    The phrase itself means so much to me. 'Thank you for the venom' for me stands for taking the crap and abuse and turning it into something more positive.

    My old username had my real name in it. I don't like using my real name, but I had no friends on MFP and did not plan on using the forums ever. Then I ran into someone who needed some advice, so I changed my name to something about food. I wanted to be Crepe, Avocado, Sushi, Pepper, Clove, Ginger, Omelette... but got Yakisoba.

    Because going on a bender has a bad connotation, and I want to change that. Why not go on a Fitness Bender instead?

    Name and type-o. should have been 704(area code). I know I can change it once so I'm trying to dream up something a bit more creative.

    I tried to use my first name with every variation/number combination I could think of, but they were all taken. I didn't want to use initials because they are hard for people to remember, so I got creative and decided to go with Jack Sprat's wife who is always depicted as chubby in the nursery rhyme books.
