Hope everyone is having a great today!
Was just wondering how do I set up the weight trackers that everyone has on the bottom of the posts? Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks
Sara

Hey Cocogirl, click on User CP, then go to...

Uh, hold on, let me go see and I'll post back with directions.

Go to User CP, then on the lefthand side, click on "Edit signature." There you can make a weight tracker and put it in your sig. Hope that was helpful.

Cocowgirl - Just so you know, I think you have to have a certain amount of posts here before you get your counter. But once you have that amount (I think it's 40) you'll then be able to add it to your signature. Welcome to 3FC and good luck on your journey!

30 days in and x number of posts not sure how many.

Thanks for clearing things up, Nessa!

Zeffryn, it's probably none of my biz cause I'm new here and don't even have kids, but I wanted to say that people, even family members, "bless their heart" as they say in the South, jump to conclusions and lose patience when they shouldn't.

Maybe let things settle and then the next time you see them just remind them in advance that your son is only two and not yet perfect, but he's working on it, so everyone please try and relax, you will handle things your way.

Family issues are hard, but IMO it is better to try and work things out if you can, than distance yourself. It seems that a current trend is to walk away from things and people that make us feel bad, instead of trying to work things out. How many times can we do that in life? It is harder to stay and "fight" until you reach a mutally agreed upon resolution, I know.

You can't pick your family and sometimes they are a royal pain or even worse, maybe much worse, but they are your family and they will be in and out of your life, even if it is aggravating at times.

Just my .02.

Thanks for your help

well....we're headed over there tonight.....wish me luck....if I don't show up tomorrow....someone water my garden

I hope you have a pleasant visit this evening, Zeff, and that the situation has a happy ending.

, cocowgirl! We're happy to have you joining us!
You'll be able to get a ticker after 20 posts/ 20 days.

Zeff, wow...I have no advice to give, only good luck wishes!! Hope everything went well with the inlaws!! I have an extra room in Hammond if ya'll don't mind 2 dogs!! haha...

I just heard from a friend (the wife of one of Robert's high school buddies). She said that Robert sent an email asking for prayers for justice for tomorrow but he gave no details. I don't know if it is something about the divorce (that I haven't heard about since my lawyer is out of town) or if it means that he finally is going to court for the misdemeanor assault/family violence. I hope it's that but I'm going to call the district attorney's office tomorrow and ask for an update. They were supposed to tell me when the court date was so I had the chance to attend if I want to (which I'm not sure I do since he's just going to lie and say nasty things about me and I've heard all that in the original divorce hearing for temporary orders). In any case, I'm glad Deb is enough of my friend to tell me what she knew and wish me good luck.

Hi, Beach Babes,
I started phase 2 also today; along with my sister and my daughter. We have a facebook support group with just us and we post our food diaries there and give one another support on a daily basis. It is sort of like this but with family. Let's see my daughter and I lost 7 lbs and my sister lost 4 (she only needs to lose about 15 total) This is my second time with SB, having done about three months of it two summers ago. I was pretty active on the board at that time. I probably won't be as active this time because of our group and all the cooking
