Do you judge people by their tickers?

    I don't judge on their weight, I judge on their advice. I went through med school and just have to take the exam to become a registered dietician, so I tend to be rather picky with what people say on these boards. Honestly, a lot of it makes me cringe. Some is good, but again I judge it based on what the advice is and how it integrates with my practice rather than their ticker.

    I actually ignore them, they look almost like an ad to me and my brain instantly shuts it off. :)

    Nope, because some people have lost weight by unhealthy means, while others have transformed their bodies without losing much weight or any at all.

    not really because many of the people here that are most knowledgable are on maintenance and may not even have a ticker up. I'm talking about acg, sidesteel, dan, etc....

    These are the three I listen to over anyone else as well.

    Nope, I don't judge people and I hope they don't judge me by mine.

    I love looking at them because some have great pics in them. I love MoreBean13 pic.

    What gets me confused is that some have their weight lost and some have their weight to go. I prefer showing what I have lost....

    I created my own ticker and when I gain weight I change my loss to red and when I've lost it's green.

    Absolutely agree!

    No, because I lost 50 lbs before signing up with MFP and creating a ticker.
