Hi everyone!
I'm new here and to keep me smiling and motivated I customised my ticker thingie. Whatcha all think? Some of you might recognise this internet meme.

So what does your custom ticker mean for you? Is your picture your inspiration, your goal or something to make you smile?

    Mine reminds me of a vacation I'd like to take.
    Plus, it's cheerful-looking to me and I think my personality is generally cheerful and happy.

    Judging by your great smile in your profile picture I'd say it matches your personality well!

    Thanks cversey!
    Making this whole experience fun and easy to do is key for me. If it feels too serious or like hard work I'll be more inclined to give up so my ticker helps :)

    I cackled XD. I love that blog!!! Maybe I should get a personalized ticker... It isn't showing right now because I'm so ashamed of the big fat zero... But weigh-in is tonight so maybe I will put it back up!

    My ticker picture means the world to me. If you know anything about ferrets you know how crazy they can be. My fur babies make me smile, and they are great motivation to lose weight when you see them running and bouncing around the yard waiting for you to chase them :)

    Oooo I love ferrets!
    So cute. I wish I could have one but I can't have pets at the moment.

    Mine serves as a reminder to post my undies to liam once i'm satisfied a decent mourning period has been observed.

    Mine's currently a bit rubbish. I joined MFP fairly recently, and I originally had it showing the weight I'd lost before MFP, and then having the tracker monitor the weight loss since I joined. Yesterday, I decided I should just put it all together, so I changed my starting weight to my proper starting weight, and grabbed the first of my own pictures to come to mind - some fireworks I photographed last year.

    I've been weighing up having a picture of my pet on there, and I'm seriously considering it. My real inspiration is my future family, but obviously those kids don't exist yet and I'd feel a little weird choosing some random children off the internet to show me what I'm working for. My pet is a more immediate reason to do this - he'll hopefully outlive me anyway, but I'm committed to being around for him as long as I can. In fact, I'm inspired. Off to change it now, so the firework bit is irrelevant.

    Nobody knows for sure. Obviously their life in captivity is different to it would be in the wild, so the two can't be compared, but so far the oldest of Emrys' species I've heard of in captivity was 120. Most seem to live 60-100 years. Emrys is currently 2.

    I love your ticker. I miss Hyperbole and a Half and hope she gets back to new posts soon.

    Mine is my 2010 Camaro. I just think it's a nice shot that fit well into the dimensions of the ticker photos. I use a hibiscus as my marker because I live in Florida and have one growing outside my door.
