More specifically, the ticker layout and design. Must turn the ticker on guys and gals ....

Mine:

Changes a lot when I am deciding on things (new goals)
Plain jane as I can't be bothered doing much with it
Cherries as they are a staple summer fruit in Australia
Poundage rather than Kilos - for higher population to grasp the numbers (actually makes the numbers look BIGGER too lol)
Poundage again as I approach goal the movements are in smaller increments.
And mostly .... that I OVERTHINK THINGS !

    Cherries staple fruit in Aus?! Maybe in your state but I've lived in NSW my whole life and they're only in the stores for like 4 weeks of the year.

    My friend just started picking cherries near here (Canowindra, NSW) two weeks ago, the harvest is said to last until late January? My ticker speaks for itself. :glasses:

    This is an awesome question ^o^ Very creative, Great job ^o^

    Mine is a pic of two peoples hands holding a walking stick. I really like this picture because I want to be thin (walking stick is obviously very thin) and the two peoples hands holding it~is like us supporting eachother in our goals of becoming thinner/fitter ^o^

    One of my hobbies.

    GOOD post!

    Mine has a Union Jack flag, as I'm a Brit. The stats that were in my sig are in the middle of it, as I'm proud of what I've achieved and also because I like to rebel against authority. Pounds as that's what I'm used to, and pounds lost because I've got to my goal and zero pounds to go would be daft. A runner as my slider, because I've taken it up recently.

    mine is my little piece of inspiration. Can't rely on other people all your life - sometimes you gotta do it for yourself.
    The pic was one I found online and it made me smile.

    Pounds because I'm Scottish and we're rubbish at metric :0)

    it was my desktop pic for a while, it helps keep me motivated/focused. This is the one thing in my life I'm doing JUST for me.

    LOL... love your explanation Gary! Mine changes with the seasons and holidays because I love to celebrate all of the little changes that take place all year long.

    A star because that is what I am!

    My favorite part about my ticker... that's it just about a third of the way to my final goal. I am making progress! :happy:

    Mine is Wonder Woman because she is strong, loyal, beautiful, sexy. And she's been my favorite superhero since I was a kid.

    Mine is a photo I took at the beach less than 200 metres from my home. I live on the west coast of Australia- so it is a sunset shot- so peaceful

    This was a photo taken in my back yard - living in New Hampshire brings the most beautiful and popular foliage scenery for New England.... Love NH and could never live anywhere else!

    Will be looking through my winter photos to update it... I just wish we could do a custom 'ticker' symbol....

    Mine is my kitty, Monkey ( now sleeping with the angels ), she was so independent, nurturing, healthy, laid back, and extremely loving - all personality goals for me. Otherwise - It shows where I was when I started MFP and an approximate goal range for me to stay within.

    Mine is my name. :bigsmile: Ok, it's not my name but that's my story and I'm sticking to it because I don't want to have to change it and it's what I am.

    Edited to add, and I like butterflies.

    LOVE yours!!

    Mine is a photo that I took in Jamaica. It reminds me how I want to look in my bikini- all fit, toned and tan.... laying right there on that chair-next to my man, listening to Kenny Chesney's "Nowhere to go, nowhere to be" (then steps it up with Rhianna and Pitbull :wink:) , fruity rum drink in my hand... *SIGH*
    **....fades off to the dreamy place in my brain**

    At the beginning - fat, tired, unhealthy me.
    In the middle - a quote that puts this journey into perspective (I have worked HARD to get where I am).
    At the end - fit, energetic, healthy me.
    Stars for the actual ticker because, well, it makes me feel good to "shine."
    That's about it.

    Mine says I'm fat and have a LONG way to go to reach my goal. :grumble: OH....wait....you said the picture. It says "I thought this was pretty when I created it and hadn't figured out that I could upload my own picture but now that I know I can I've just been to online lazy and forgetful to actually do it." :tongue:

    My photo is the beach at sunset on Captiva Island taken after a great day fishing in the gulf. It's one of my favorite places in the world. The happy place.
