Can't figure out how to update the ticker!!

Hey! I'd like to join!! I just did my first ticker on Tickerfactory.com! Can anyone help a newbie with how you update it?? Do you have to go back to tickerfactory to update it and then re-cut and past it into my signature??? Or is there a better way to do that! Anyways I'm excited! My goal is 50 miles!

I have been slacking on working out. (its been like 3 weeks) And the scale is reflecting it! I am not a happy camper. There is still time before Xmas to turn it around!

Hey everyone, Only a few days left in October. I hope everyone is losing- WHICH I DID NOT this month. I did a whole lot of gaining because I went of vacation and now I am super busy with work and school. I've been trying to "JUICE" fruits and vegetables for most of the day and eat only small amount of something for lunch…

Jingoace-- I HEAR YOU!!! I just got back from a vacation in San Diego, and not only did I gain, but I am back up to higher than I've been in MONTHS! Very disheartening. Splackk- Its great that your being accountable. And I know its tough when you have a few bad days, and repeated mistakes, but that is what we are trying to…

Hey everyone! I completed my first day of Fruit and Vege JUICING! It wasnt too bad (YET) because I was at home and there are very little distractions. Has anyone else done a Fruit and Vege Juice fast for a reboot?? Or has anyone incorporated it into their daily routine for the health benefits? Im interested to hear some…

Thank you very much for all of the advice! I actually began today was my first day! So far so good! I actually really like the juices! I have a few cravings to eat food, but its more out of habit than hunger! I got the Breville, it was a little more expensive (about $150 on amazon) but it works great. Its easy to clean if…

Hey everyone! I have been a little MIA because I was in San Diego on vacation. It was amazing. But I ate A TON of delicious food! And I am literally SCARED to get on the scale. But on the bright side, I saw this very inspirational documentary about fruit/vegetable JUICING. I ordered my first juicer that will be here…

Hello all!!! I am checking in after my vacation to San Diego! The trip was amazing but I ate every piece of good food that was in that city! I am literally afraid to get on the scale. Sooooo..... while I am still here I am going to wait until the end of the month to actually weigh in. My boyfriend and I actually just…

Hey everyone! I had such a good week last week, and then this week I let my busy-ness with work and lawschool to get the best of me. I have been loggin my calories but going over every single day- because I havent worked out ONCE yet. I really need to snap out of it! I was loving the running last week. I need to quit the…

Hey everyone! Checking in! I have had a rough/long week. No workout in yet! I am determined to at least get a 1 mile run in tonight! Not much, but I need to do something to break the cycle! I have eaten over my calories this week, but I can turn it around. lol (hopefully) Good luck to you all! I am glad weigh in isnt until…

I understand your pain-- feeling so busy with a growing "to do" list.... but you took the first step- Making the plan! Stick to it if you can! That's what we're all here to help each other do!

Oct 1st - 172.4 Oct 8th - Oct 15th - Oct 22nd - Oct 29th GW - 166 Hey all!! Just weighing in... I had about a 3 pound loss last month and I was disappointed! But I am hoping to doubt that this month! I did a 5K this morning and I was really happy I averages 10:03 miles :) Good luck this week!

Happy (or not so happy) Weigh in day! I am down 1.2 from my Start weight... but I am down 3.4 from last weeks rediculous gain! I'll take it!!! I worked out 5 days this week and I stayed under my calories for 3 of those days. And if you know me, that is impressive cuz lately I have been overeating non-stop (hence the weight…

I do the SAME THING! It is such a terrible habit. And it is exactly what got me to where I am now! We have to help each other overcome this problem!

Sept 4- 175.8 Sept 9 - 170.8 (yes it looks like I already lost 5, but I was up 8.... lol) Sept 16 - 176.4 Sept 23 - 172.8 Sept 30 - 172.4 ** Total loss: 3.4 *** Totallllll Disappointment. First because I didnt miss the goal, but ALSO because I am stillllllll heavier than I was. That gain was not a fluke. I have accepted…

Be proud of that!! Its so hard to lose month after month! Your scale is moving at a nice pace and CONSISTENTLY!

See ya'll saturday!!! :) Definitely in for another month! For anyone asking how you FIND the challenge .... Click on the "COMMUNITY" tab on the home page and then click "MY TOPICS" and you should be able to find it! Then we post our weight once a week (not sure what day this month??? Help...??).... but other than posting…

Drunkwithwords- CONGRATSSS!!! SO excited for you Under 300 :) Mummyanne- 6 pounds down! Way to go!! Checking in before WEIGH IN DAY: Despite being rediculously busy (like I know sooo many of us are!!) I am taking it a day at a time and trying to have the scale move in the right direction. I had a complete binge on saturday…

Hey everyone! Just dropping in to check in! Last Sunday I saw a gain :grumble: But... I am back on the wagon and stayed under my calories the last 2 days and got in a run on both days despite the rediculous busy-ness. I am hoping to see a loss from my SW on Sunday! I have a 5k race on Sunday so that should totally help!…

Salvarado- Thanks for the support! We can all help each other stay accountable! Its time for me to really commit and get this weight off. I've been idly sitting at this weight for about a year now- no loss, even though I have been KINDOF working out consistently But that is because I never take my diet seriously. Time…

Hello all!! I was tempted to not even post at all, but this site is about accountability! So I FORCED myself to update the spreadsheet honestly. I had a gain of 2.2. (from 173.6 to 175.8) Not surprising though because I have not gotten my binge eating under control. On saturday I was way out of line. And it would be fine…

Lol... Theresamommy... I'm sure many of us struggled over the weekend. I know I ALWAYS do. We go 4 days to get rid of any of the extra pounds we packed on!

Irishrose- I am in the same boat, as Im sure so many are, I have SO much going on that if I dont get a workout in in the morning, I come up with too many excuses and half the time eat a bad meal or skip my workout! We can help keep each other on track!

Marz- CONGRATTTSSSSSS!!! Never see that 3- before your weight again! No turning back :) Brunettewife- thanks for the quotes! I really like that Motivational speech because it is true, we must be proud of ourselves for what we ARE doing and use that to fuel the fire and keep pushing harder!!! I needed that because I am…

Sept 4- 175.8 Sept 9 - 170.8 (yes it looks like I already lost 5, but I was up 8.... lol) Sept 16 - 176.4 Sept 23 - 172.8 Sept 30 - Ayyy ay ayyyy. I have been VERY Up and down this month. While I wanted to lose more than the 5 pounds this month because I gained so much, but I am thinking that at this point i'd be lucky to…

No matter what our weight issues... its tough for all of us! No one is looking at your weight :) just that your losing it lol:laugh:

Oprah Once said (as a general rule).... If you are working out/toning and dieting = 10 lbs for each pant/clothes size If you are just dieting= 15 lbs for each pant/clothes size I have never tested the theory but its a nice general guess

Thanks for the "light at the end of the tunnel"... i think the hardest part is just BREAKING the habit! The bad habit has just carried on too long. Eating out 1x a week is a great cheat, I''ve been just letting it be the majority of the time and that really needs to end. Bad on the bank and bad on the belly lol.

AmandaB/Kintegra- the boyfriend is okay! Thank you for asking! We still overate on Monday (oops). But I am back on track. Every day has to be a new day. I woke up this morning and did an Insanity workout. Having a good day and GOING to stay within my calories today! Must repeat! lol I struggle with the consistency, but…
