Tickers

I noticed that the majority of tickers say lbs lost as opposed to lbs to go...what's more motivating to you and why?

Personally, I like lbs to go! Like my scale I like watching the number go down. I also find that I don't get into the mind set that I already lost x number of pounds and that is better than where I was so I would ease up. With the lbs to go it motivates me to keep pushing on. I will change my goals to small goals so that I feel I am accomplishing something and when I reach my goal I will reward myself with a pampering day just for me.

What about you?

    For me, the amount of weight lost is more motivating since I have such a large amount left to lose. I'm sure as I continue to lose weight I will switch it around!:smile:

    lbs to go is what I really like. It's sometimes scary for the amount I have to lose, but feels great when the numbers go down.
