starting out.....new diary?

[chicki99]

Hi, I've been on the program for 12 weeks but I've just found this site. I have filled in my details and am waiting for a diary. I'm reading the rules as they seem like double dutch atm. I'm hoping I can get my head around the site soon. I've searched and cant seem to find how to edit my weight on my ticker. I entered the details from when I had an official weigh but that was weeks ago and I wanted to update??? Anyone able to help me with this one?
Cheers, Melissa

Hi Melissa,

If you check out the instructions on how to create a ticker under the "New Members - Start Here" section and scroll down a bit (still on page 1) - Mette has posted instructions on how to edit your ticker.

I completed a diary request form but I didn't wait for approval - I just started a diary thread for me and started typing.

Hope your first 12 weeks have been going good?

Hi chicki,

Welcome to the forum, its fantastic!

I update my ticker by clicking on it, that takes me to the ticker factory website, I put in my new weight and just save that, then it updates automatically in my signature.

Good luck

[chicki99]

Ok, so I have read how to edit it. I've clicked all over my ticker and nothing happens I'll keep trying.
Thanks for the help

Hey, hey I copied and pasted the address into the search bar and I have it!
Big Thanks xxx
Happy now

17 kgs in 12 weeks, that's fantastic!? You must be feeling pretty good?

[chicki99]

I am, Thankyou. I'm not sure if this a lot or just normal for Cohen? I feel like it's a bit slow atm........ I'm going on 1 weeks holidays in 7 weeks time, I hope to be at my goal before I go. Crossed fingers

Wooooo to your weight loss yayyyyy.

There is no "norm" weight loss for this program. Your body will lose the weight at the rate it wants - in saying that, this is not weight watchers where you lose 500 grams a month Keep going, you are doing a fabulous job...

Hey Chicki!

This can be your diary! You actually just start your own diary and also request approval. Once it's approved (takes awhile) you'll be moved to the personal diaries section. So, yeh, this can just be your diary.

Your ticker isn't entered correctly... Sorry I have NO idea how to help, but see how the URL is in your signature and it isn't in anyone elses? That's part of the problem. I'm sorry I can't help, it took me ages to work it out! And you should be able to slick on it, but seeing as it's a bit stuffed, that'd be why! At least it's there though, right??!

AMAZING losses too by the way! 17kilos in 12 weeks is great!! It usually does slow down after some time though... It's the nature of the beast!

Lil_Doll Thanks for the heads up, I have edited the signiture, it looks better now but I still cant click on it so I've saved the web page to my desktop. I'll keep trying to figure out whats up with mine
I had started the new post before I saw your reply so I'll keep adding to that page instead of starting new ones. Hope this is right
Thanks again, Melissa

[chicki99]

the curser doesnt change when I hover on my signiture. When I hover over someone elses I can see it changes to the hand which can click and go to the update page. I have been thru everything I can think of hopefully someone knows what I need to do to get the ticker responding??
cheers

[chicki99]

oh yeah , and my join date is wrong its October 29th 2013 but I cant see where to change that either- HELP

Hey Chikki,

Great loss so far congrats!
Regarding your signature: when you're at the ticker site copy the link which says for forums or websites and paste it into your signature - maybe you accidentally copied the URL link into your signature ( you have two options on the ticker page)
With the diary just start it and then after it is approved we will move it into the personal diary section- but that doesn't hinder you to start in the new diary section

All the best for the rest of your journey - you'll be at goal in no time 😊

[chicki99]

there is a BB code that where I tried to copy and paste it from. other options are Hot mail or URL.
I have made a new one and copied from the BB the whole thing but it shows the url above the signiture and I was told this isnt correct as noone else seems to have this?
I made a new one copied it and still no curser?
Sorry to be a pain!

[Greeni]

the first link is correct.... Hmmm, did you copy and paste the whole link including the brackets?? And the paste it into your signature - not sure what else could be wrong

[chicki99]

Thanks for all the advice in the end Lil_doll fixed it for me. I'm sure I did everything I was told but........
From now on she shall be known as "Ledgend!!!" Big Thanks

[Cazspaz]

Yay! Your ticker is especially cute too!

[chicki99]

Thanks Cazspaz, I like in on a property and have Clydesdale horses, kinda seemed appropriate

[lil_doll]

Hey Chicki!

Yay that we finally got it fixed! I was on a mega mission there

It does look cute!

I love Clydesdale horses!
