Hello! Help with ticker?? - 3 Fat Chicks on a Diet Weight Loss Community

Cassidy Lee · 11-04-2008, 03:47 PM

Hi! I'm new here, as is everyone in this section. I've been doing weight watchers on my own for the last 6 months and have seen some great weight loss. Lately, I'm having trouble staying with it. I can make all sorts of excuses, but I'm really ready to start again and get my act together.

I'm on day three of my revived plan! I was wondering how people found all these awesome weight loss tickers... I would love to add one to help inspire me.

Thanks for any help you can offer.

Haha! I think I've got it figured out...

Hey there! Welcome! I'm sure you've figured it out, but you can't have a ticker until you've been here for 20 days and made so many postings. I was actually excited to get to my 20 days to get a silly ticker!!!

tee hee! Welcome and congrats so far with WW!

That's right -- 20 days of membership and 20 posts are required before you can have signature privileges and that's where the tickers reside.

. . . have you found our weight watchers forums yet?

I've been wondering why I couldn't get a cool little ticker too. At least now I know it's not just because I'm too dumb to figure it out. ha ha.

I think the forum just wants to make sure you're not a spammer before it gives you a ticker. There was also an issue with people on pro anorexia/bulemia/eating disorder forums stealing our tickers that are intended for healthy weight loss.

You'll have an awesome looking ticker soon enough

In the meantime,

, Cassidy Lee!

Thighs Be Gone · 11-04-2008, 05:31 PM

boohoo..didn't show up

Cassidy Lee · 11-05-2008, 02:23 PM

Thanks for the info. I guessed that might be it. I was so excited to put one up and watch it slide down... hopefully! Having a tough day today. Feeling a bit guilty about my celebrations last night. At least they were whole grain crackers, right?

Pumped up and working on today. One day at a time, right ladies?

Happy to be here. I think this site will help a lot with my accountability.

Hello

Congratulations on your weight loss so far. I too am doing this "alone". No meetings, or professional weigh ins. I think it really helps to have someone to talk too...even if it is in cyberland. I hope you stick around.

Hi Lori Bell, I saw that you are from The Cornhusker State and that you are a Farm Chick ME TOO. One of the reason's I've discovered this sight is b/c my husband is out harvesting!!, tryin to beat the "Snow" What MRC center do you go to Omaha or Bellevue, I work right by the Omaha Center so thats where I go. Well, just wanted to say Hi and Good Luck on your weight loss!!

How does the ticker work? Do you have to keep updating it every time you lose weight or is it just how fast you are supposed to lose weight or what?

AlphaGal · 12-02-2008, 02:47 PM

Wow so I'm almost to ticker privileges! hehe
I've been so excited about getting to add a ticker!

You update it yourself as you lose the weight. I do mine about once a week, but you can do yours as often as you like
