For the preggos out there: So.. what are you all doing with your ticker?? Keeping it set at your goal, adjusting your ticker goals, taking it off completely?? Just curious? I haven't decided yet

I think I'm just going to leave mine alone LOL0

I have been recording my weight increase so now says 28lb to lose (instead of 3lb! which it did when got pregnant).
Hopefully will see it go back down afterwards0 -
I got at goal weight and every week when the scale goes up I adjust it on my ticker and it says I have "so and so" number of pounds to loose. My weight when I started losing weight I was 166 and I got down to 124. I figured 40lbs if I gain seems like a fair number so I won't change it.0

I adjusted mine so it shows the only 20lbs I hope to gain during this pregnancy I hit my goal weight the weekend I found out I was pregnant so I know it's possible to get back down again.0
-
Mine isn't displayed anymore and I haven't updated my weight. Don't plan to do so until I'm heading into the hospital so I can post a big loss. It's all a mind game for me, if it says I'm getting further from goal I'll feel bad!0

I changed my to reflect the first 10 lbs or so i gained but have stopped. I am unhappy with how my body is looking and that constant taunting of seeing my weight go up is not doing me any good I figure I will just start over after i have the baby0

I am not sure how to get my ticker to work. I put it so that it would show how much I had to gain.0

I've added most of the weight I've gained so far. I'm thinking I'll remove my ticker until after the baby though. I know gaining right now is what I'm supposed to be doing... I think after the baby comes I'll reassess and add the ticker back in.
I was curious what other ladies were doing too. Thanks for posting 0 -
Even though I have my profile set to 1/2 lb gain a week, it doesn't reflect gains on the ticker (at least not that I've been able to figure out). So I just gave up and set my ticker to not show up. Once the baby comes I'll change my goal to maintain for a few weeks and show my ticker again.0

How do you take off your ticker? Before I got pregnant I had lost 31lb's & because Im still concidered obese Im only suppose to gain 11-21lbs. So Im thinking about keeping it so I make myself only gain less then what I lost. Or just take the ticker off but dont know how.

How did you remove it from being displayed? I'd like to take it off my posts - but it seems MFP doesn't allow us to remove it once it's been enabled.0 -
I have left mine alone. Seeing the scale go up and up and feeling relatively powerless over the whole situation was depressing. With only about 2 weeks left of being pregnant, I don't even look at the scale or care what I weigh. I know I am healthy and there is no point obsessing over each pound.
I'll update mine right before birth, and I'm looking forward to some sweet weight loss in the first two weeks after he is born 0 -

@lilchino4af - THANKS!0

I'm not sure. I may remove it not touch it, but then again I may add on weight (once I'm openly sharing) so that I can post losses after. I plan on continuing to use MFP during and after pregnancy, and as someone else said, I got the weight off once (and post-pregnancy at that), I can do it again!0
