Just curious to see if anyone is interested in linking up on other sites as well. I have already had a few of you friend me on Facebook, which my link is in my signature.

I am also on twitter located here: susanhelander (susanhelander) on Twitter

I just signed up for Loopt on my iPhone, as well, but am not sure how to share on there yet.

I just Facebook. I did just join LinkedIn, but I'm going to use that for professional stuff only.

Between here and Facebook, I don't have time for anything else.

[Oregondaisy 2,021]

I don't see the point of twitter at all, and like VA, between here and Facebook, that's about all I can handle.

[Bornagainbabe 4]

I'm on Fb if anyone wants to make friends with me! Does that make me sound like Billy-no-mates???!!!lol

[BeardedItalian48 3]

Twitter--what a waste of time. Do not like it at all...Facebook I like, like my honey said between here and Facebook I do not have time for the other. I joined twitter to see what the big hoopla was about...NUTTIN just a status thing I am guessing.

OH well-----I am NOT into status.

OK back to it now that I have said my piece.

What's your name on FB? I will "make friends" with you...however, the agreement with those on VSG and friends on FB is that we don't ever mention our surgeries -- I have too many family members on there and they have no idea I've had the surgery and I'd like to keep it that way if you know what I mean.

Under what name?

You can find me as MacMadame so that's easy. :thumbup:

[Tiffykins 673]

I'm on Facebook and Myspace, but don't actively post a lot. Plus, I don't share my WLS journey on line except for here and one other site, but not on Myspace or Facebook.

I'm on VegasAngel's page on FB.

[Norma 10]

I am on Facebook by my real name Norma Fieker-unusual last name and don't worry much about who knows my business--I am multifaceated (if not a great speller) I am a therapist, like massage, reiki, and spiritual stuff, not religious, am a motorcycle enthusiast, member of BACA (Bikers Against Child Abuse) and very blunt and honest. If you can handle that and want to facebook friend me, just put sleever in your message and I will accept. I understand what you are saying, Vegas, but in a few more months, you are going to be so far on the other side that your body will out itself. Bearded, in theory, I agree with Clothes-who needs them" but in reality--I want to keep my rolls and stretch marks and hanging gut and butt and saggy breast to myself-thank you very much-LOL. I will show you my tattoos though.:thumbup:

Hopefully this is true, Norma, however none of my family live in Las Vegas or anywhere nearby - they are all midwest andn east coast and we don't see each other very often, unfortunately. The only one "nearby" is my dad and his wie in Northern CA and I see them 2-3x a year. I still prefer to keep that part of my life private at this time.

Well, we belong to a nudist group and no one cares anything about any of that stuff -- I was self-conscious at first, but not anymore -- great group of people and they don't judge - at least not another's body...we're going to a posse party today as a matter of fact ... something about swimming nude that is so freeing ... just have to be sure to use sunscreen! LOL..

What tats do you have Norma? I have only 1 and Bearded has 5 now.

[Norma 10]

Vegas and Bearded,

I had wondered about the nudist group. I love swimming naked-just not a lot of that going on here(at least publically) in the buckle of the bible belt. I might have to try that out when I feel more comfortable about my body-maybe I will put that on my NSV list of goals. Tats are Snoopy and Woodstock and Pooh and Tigger-got them in my teen years. Will do others as I find the p:001_cool:erfect tat.

See, I am a major technology geek. I love anything to do with technology and have to have all the newest, geekiest stuff. I am on Facebook, twitter, and several other forums as well.

As for tats, I have one that I got for my 30th birthday and have wanted another one ever since. When I reach goal, I plan to reward myself with one. The problem is, I want it be something that will symbolize my weight loss journey and what I have achieved, and I can't figure out what to get that will do that. Any suggestions?

I'll give it some thought - however the first thing that came to mind was a rainbow with a fat leprechaun at one end and a skinny leprechaun and a pot of gold at the other end.

The Irish in me likes that idea!!
