Please - take a few minutes every once in a while to update your stats. I see posts everyday from people celebrating their success tht have little or no information filled out in their profile.

When I see someone has a surgery date near mine, I look to see what their loss is - to make sure I am about the same as others. Or when I read a persons' comments I like to see how far along they are in their journey and how much they have lost. I think I would take comments from a successful 1 year VSG'er a bit more seriously than someone that has not had their surgery yet.

Also things like your height also helps to understand if a post is written by someone that has a body type like mine - or from someone that is coming from a different perspective.

It just takes a few minutes and helps all of us. It is nothing to be embarrassed about - not on this site. We are a very unique group and understand that you have for years hidden hard numbers about your weight. And for a lot of subjects, it doesn't matter. It does not matter what your starting weight was for a post about workout tunes. But for many posts it helps others understand you and helps us all as a group.

Is it just me? Or do others feel this way too?

Oh and I can't see tickers from my iPhone either.

Thanks for posting, I know its hard for some people to give out this kind of information (its was difficult for me) but we are here for everyone on this site and there is no judging and posting the information does help everyone.

To add the ticker' date=' it has to be from the website. That's the only way to modify your signature. You can however see the ticker(if there is one) by simply touching the post in the app. This will open the post in a screen by itself. You can also update your ticker from the iPad app once you have one in place by simply touching your ticker, it will open a screen to perform the update

Hope this helps

I've never seen my ticker on the iPad app. I always go to the website to update mine, because I never see a place to on iPad app

Like Dooter I am obsessed with tracking - I track everything - I use MFP on a spotty basis, but I do not take a walk without Runkeeper. I track food, drink, meds, supplements in the little paper journals from my Docs office. I even grabbed enough to make sure I had 24 total for after surgery(representing the 2 years of losing window it can take for someone with as much weight to lose as I do) which is just a goofy thing I know.

I dont have before and after picks yet because I am a work in progress - I will post those when I meet my goal.

I especially enjoy when folks post their monthly losses in their signature - this really is inspiring when you see a person make goal weight and often times their losses for a month were small. The next 30 - 35 lbs of weight to go to 200 and just below are filled with milestones for me - weights were I was for years and thought it could not get worse in terms of being heavy (then gained another 100 and really had my health fall apart) as I approach 100 lbs down, and my halfway point, tracking and sharing it here is very inspiring and fun for me - it helps keep me present and focused on my goals. The last week my body has changed and all of my clothes look like clown clothes they are so big - same for my husband.

I feel that everyone here who shares their journey is an inspiration for us all.

Just touch the text area in your post & a new screen will open w/your post & the ticker.

I change my ticker obsessively too. If I lose a pound, I want those little suckers to say so. I don't do much with my profile.

I hate the tickers (just for me and how they have to be done -- I do like seeing them on others' posts!!) so I keep my sig info up to date. I don't post pics really cos I hate posting my picture on the internet or doing other things that reveal IRL info.

That all said, most of the relevant info is in my sig, and I'm always happy to answer questions. I didn't start working out till 9 months post-op (personal reasons for that) and have been working out three days a week since then, plus I walk everywhere wear I live, including to/from work every day. I do 30 mins elliptical and another 20-30 mins on the weight machines, abs, etc., three times per week.

I lost most of the weight by the first year and haven't lost much since then, but my body continues to reshape itself. I think I will probably lose another 5kg in total this year and that will be just dandy.

You have inspired me.

I do this also

I never downloaded the iPhone app. I go through the Internet and sign in there. There is a button at te bottom of the page that gives you the option to view the whole site. There you can see everything. I never choose it because I hate zooming in and out (my eyes are getting to bad for that)!

I am an "Android Addict," but have never used the mobile app. I get updates through my e-mail to my phone but I can open what looks like the full site on my phone. But I have never played around to see what kind of functionality I actuaIly have. I just try to log on during the day when I am supposed to be working (so much more fun than paying attention - besides I am a commercial pilot, what could possibly go wrong... just kidding I am not a pilot - the goofing off at work part is true though).

This is not a private site, therefore anything you post can be seen by anyone, not just members. Some people may not be comfortable with their information being available to any and everyone, thus pictures and personal info are not posted.
