Just a question.

If we started our diets on another plan like WW, should our tickers show THAT starting date, or the date we started with MF?

Please take the poll!

I think our Medifast numbers show what this board and program are about, especially for people who have been on multiple diets. I went on the Weight Watchers/Vodka diet and then the dry-out diet that brought me down to from 256 to 233 where I started Medifast. To use the higher number would imply I had been compliant on Medifast for much longer than I have (which I think is so important) and would almost be like false advertising for newcomers. Keep it simple, I say.

I have seen some people have two tickers one for total weight loss and another for the program they are currently losing weight on.Just an idea... I agree to keep it simple though.

I see him-maybe your page was taking to long to load. Poor Snoopy...

Okay...well I talked it over with the Snoop dog and he said I was forgiven. I think the "Im not worthy Snoopy" helped.

I think it doesn't matter what our ticker really says, when it starts, etc. This is, in the end, a personal journey. It shouldn't matter to anyone else where or when we started, what we claim as our progress. It's really not their business -- we just put it out there for our own reasons. I think the tickers are a method of accountability, yes, but it's a personal accountability. Are we bold enough to proclaim something about ourselves to the world? If someone is inspired by it, great! Whether their inspiraton comes from acknowledging that someone has done well or it comes from comparison that they've lost faster or lost more...whatever. That, again, is personal.

I think the only etiquette we need to consider is how long they take to load. If their file size is inhibiting someone's enjoyment of these boards, then that is what should be limitted, not the data they represent.
