Finally, a ticker
« on: January 30, 2011, 09:04:39 PM »
Thanks to Doug's directions I was able to make my own ticker.  I am determined to lose the weight this year and with FTS I know that I can do it.  I have only lost 35 pounds but plan on losing more and faster.  To be honest I have an addiction to sugar free Reeses peanut butter cups and have been eating them every day.  That has to change.  I also have not been exercising.  As of tomorrow that will change.  I will keep my ticker updated regularly to hold myself accountable.  A big thank you to Doug and Umpa and the forum family.  I could have easily gained 35 pounds over the holidays instead of losing.  I now know that I can lose all of the weight and be healthy.  I encourage everyone that hasn't to get a ticker and start holding themselves accountable for their weight loss.  Let's all make this a successful weight loss year!

Congratulations Skychant!  Looking forward to seeing your progress.

Scott

PS - I didn't even know that Reese's made sugar-free stuff!

Yay you got your ticker to work!! I think you'll find that ticker and this forum really keep you in line. It's really fun to subtract those pounds!

Congrats on the 35 pounds, that is fantastic!  ;D ;D ;D

Congrats on the 35 lb. weight loss Skychant.  You will enjoy watching your ticker go down.  I find that being active on the forum really does help.

Thanks everyone.  I have decided to chew sugar free gum or one piece of Werthers instead of the peanut butter cups.  I am not going to buy any more of them.  Hershey's also has sugar free chocolate.  I find all of my candy at Walmart.  They have the largest sugar free section.  I know you are only supposed to have it three times a week. I am going to stop cheating.  I want to see my ticker go down.

Like Sherri said, the ticker is helpful in maintaining accountability with F2S.

its totally awesome to see all of the FTS family losing & supporting each other!!!!!!  :) ;) :D ;D 8)

   Doug you should issue a challenge to all of the "other" posers.....
   I.E. weight watchers, south beach,carb lovers,etc. etc. etc. the list goes on & on........
   see which "program" has the most successful results & also maintains those results for a lifetime>>>> and throw in which produces the "healthiest" people!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  of course they probably wouldn't even respond to a request like that, it could be a great reality T.V. show:)

I think that's a great idea too, Gary!
But like you, I can't see the posers lining up to take this challenge.
