I Hate that I dont get to have a signature for 20 days :(
I am new to this site and I understand why the rule of 20 days no signature is there but still!!!
I really would like to have a signature and but a ticker in there. What if the lack of a ticker demotivates me??? lol
I am a legit person --- seriously !!
anyways i just wanted to share my disappointment -- i look at al your beautiful signature with cool tickers and quotes and I want one too!!

Unfortunately, spammers ruin things for everyone...and having that rule in place has cut down on the amount of spam the mods have to fight on a daily basis.
However, why not think of it as a motivator, instead of a demotivator? Your reward with sticking to 3FC for 20 days and posting regularly (which will most likely HELP you stick on your plan at least in my experience) is your ticker!
Don't worry - you'll have it before you know it.

Well just think of it as incentive to stick around- after 20 days of dieting and exercising if you are still here you will most likely stay 
If a lack of ticker demotivates you then you have a problem lol 
Trust me I couldn't wait to get my ticker either!

Same for me, I can't wait for a siggy... and a ticker! Sticking with something for 21 days usually gets you in the habit. So if you stick around for that long, you'll most likely be well on your way to a new you!

By the time your 20 days are up, you'll already have a loss to record!

wow you guys are soo right. That does motivate me more!! 
Yeah most people say that the 1st month of diet and exercise is the hardest and after that you get more comfortable. I dont know if I have actually stuck with a diet/exercise plan for 1 month.
That is such a sad truth I realized today 
I mean I have never --- since I was like 16 -- stuck with a diet/exercise plan for 1 month religiously. Yes these 20 days will definitely be an incentive.

Meh. Twenty days isn't as long as it seems. Believe me. I've got four months left on my husband's 12-month deployment. It's my first one as a spouse, but it has gone by faster than I was anticipating. Twenty days is nothing.

One more thing- to those of you who have been on here for awhile, I noticed that it says it will take at least 20 days for a signature, as long as you meet the minimun post requirement~ what is that number? Just curious....

Ooh...so I will not only get a ticker but it will record whatever loss I've had during those 20 days?
YAY...that's gonna be a HUGE motivator for me! YES! I can't wait! 
(wow, there are so many emoticons here!)
