Pet Peeve - Update Your Stats



Recommended Posts

And it's not just the tickers, why is it that sonny people don't have profile pictures or before/afters? I was also wondering how to add the date trackers. Personally I do the same thing because I haven't had surgery yet. When I see someone has a surgery date coming up, I'm curious as to their starting weight, ht., dr used, etc. I also follow for updates. Some people have surgery and don't update progress. I'm then left wondering if they're doing ok or having problems.

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.

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. :)

I have never logged in to acctual website only from iPhone app. I wish they have it available soon Would be great

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.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

    • buildabetteranna

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
