Is anyone technical enough to create a maintenance ticker? I find the weight loss tickers very motivating, and I dip in and out of maintenance when I have to go in for surgery and I'm not allowed to be on calorie restriction. I don't like using the loss tickers where they say 0 pounds to go and that sort of thing, I would love for there to be one where your maintenance figure is in the middle and there is a 10lb bit either side with colours. I envisige it looking something like this:



Is there anywhere we can get this kind of ticker (I assume not, since nobody has one!) or could anyone put one together? It then relates more to the concept of maintenance, to staying in the middle rather than losing and aiming at something that can be represented by a constant left to right (or right to left) motion.

Hey RR,
Welcome to maintenanceland! It looks to me as if you got the maintenance ticker thing right on, I say maybe patent it & you'll be in business!

Have you tried googling maintenance tickers? I've seen a couple of members with them in the past, not sure where they got them.

Well, looking around, I may be wrong. This member: http://www.3fatchicks.com/forum/members/mkendrick.html
has what I was thinking of, but it's not interactive. Good luck, hope someone can help!

I've seen a couple people with them too but I think they just made them as screenshots. My ticker is set up for maintenance as a timeline instead. It's not worth the effort for me to have to keep updating my weight to show where I am on the spectrum, but it's nice to see how long I've been maintaining.
