    Yes, @lamlam2013 usually begins the thread right before the beginning of the month. But you do not need to wait you can join us for the end of the April. All goals are personal so just set one for the next four days. :smile:

    Good to know - and how do you get your Ticker to show up ? Not only "at all", but "just this time" ?

    I will post last Saturday's "will probably never beat again" total later on - and add up my game stats from the last week or so to give myself a target for May.

    Here are the ticker instructions from another thread. I find them very useful

    *******OPTIONAL TICKER*************
    Sign up for an account http://www.tickerfactory.com and create your ticker.
    Then you need to update it after you do a run and post it here. Here is what you will need to do.


    After setting up your ticker, you will need to make note of the weblink they give you so you can return. An example would be:

    http://www.tickerfactory.com/exercise/w6K1EiX/ <<<< the last part will be a part of the image link (explained below) that will be supplied to you after you initially create your link.

    When you return to TickerFactory with the weblink, go to your settings page. Make sure you type your pin in that you set when you created your ticker account.
    Then where it says "Your current cumulative value, there is an add button. Just add what you just did and the cumulative value automatically changes. Then hit next.

    Now after you added your new miles (or km's) to your ticker you need to post it here.


    After you hit next, it will give you a bunch of codes suggesting on how to display your ticker.
    Use the one at the bottom where it says Direct Image URL:

    It will look something like:
    http://tickers.TickerFactory.com/ezt/t/w6K1EiX/exercise.png

    To display that correctly in your post, make sure you place the img tags around that link. So it will look, (removing the spaces in the img tags):

    [ img ] http://tickers.TickerFactory.com/ezt/t/w6K1EiX/exercise.png [ /img ]

    ^^^^^^^ Don't forget to remove the spaces between the brackets. ^^^^^^^^^^

    Some key things to pay attention to when posting your ticker.

    1: Use the link that ends in .png
    2. Remember the [ img] and [ /img] tags go in between the link
    3. remove the spaces in the img tags before posting
    4. YES, there is a / in the second /img tag

    It was raining today which made it harder, but I found a little circuit I could walk undercover, so was able to do that a few times in order to reach my goal!

    Hello! The May challenge is up!
    https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10664000/step-challenge-may-2018/p1?new=1

    I'm sorry I'm a little late in posting this. Life has been so busy lately. My sister had been in the hospital, my dad is recovering from a stroke, and my husband fractured his elbow and wrist. :(

    In that case, I am dedicating today's rainbow (part of the walking game I use to count steps) to you and your extended family!
