    Fine, guess I'll post today, I feel all pressured and stuff. I've been weighing in every Wednesday and was going to wait until my typical weigh-in day but now everyone's posting so I might as well jump on the bandwagon! I just won't change my ticker until Wednesdays. My weight right now is a little off thanks to Aunt Flow ;-)

    I suppose I will join this group to give me more motivation to stick more strictly to my calorie and exercise goals - ever time I go out of town to visit family, I end up overeating when we go to a restaurant or something and I have a couple of pounds to lose back down when we get home. Time to be able to limit myself no matter what in order to hit my goal or beyond.

    Ok, so I just find this post each week, quote it & add the current info? Then find and send reply? Then I do the same each week?

    I feel like I am somehow making this more difficult than it needs to be:-)

    Goal weight- 140 by Christmas
    NWG - to comfortly and consistently wear the smallest size jeans I have in my closet.
    Behavioral goal - to stop eatting in the middle of the night.

    You got it, just quote your old post or however you feel its easy for you. What I do, I save mine as a text file on my computer, then each week, I open it, save my info, and copy and paste on here. That works too, so you don't have to find your post.

    I am starting today as well. How did you add your "ticker" to your post. Also, do you know how to change it and save it. I can change it ~ but it won't save. :huh:

    On the tool page, go to where you would make your ticker and then click on get the code for your ticker, copy and paste the code into your signature area.
    Your Ticker
    What would you like to do?
    Update your weight data
    Change the style of your ticker
    Get the code for your ticker


    Hope that helps! :smile:

    Thank you for starting this challenge. Since I am fairly new to the site and it appears others are too, can you explain how to edit and add our weights each week. It seems I couldn't only click quote. Any help would be appreciated.
