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!

Yea! Im patiently waiting on my signature!!! 2 more days. 2 more days!

Im pretty excited and its def a good reward for sticking around for 20 days! =)

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!

Exactly!

Same for me, I can't wait till time is up and I can get my first signature. We will be rewarded soon for our patience!

20 days is NOTHING! I have been around for 8 years and you will too!

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

i used my 20 days a a chance to lose some weight so as soon as i put my ticker up i could have it on the way down. i was also really impatient to get a ticker haha

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.

I can't wait for my siggy and ticker too!!!!!!!

Look at you, you are already losing!! That will be very fun to record on your ticker in 17 days!

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!)
