I'm very new to this but if nothing works have you tried turning your ticker off and starting a new one? You know like when we have to shut computers off sometimes and give them a reboot?
I just set a ticker up and am posting to see if it shows up in pounds or kg. It said pounds in the description of the ticker.

good luck!
UPDATE: Wow I just looked at your ticker, yours is showing in pounds so you fixed it!

I finally got a ticker set up for myself, but even though I weigh myself using lbs, and put that in on the computer, my ticker always says kg. So instead of 3 lbs lost, it says 3 kgs lost, or instead of my weight being 245 lbs, it says 245 kg. Anyone know how to fix thid?

Hi Jasorrells,
Other than the scale saying you haven't lost weight how do your clothes feel?

I noticed for a few months my scale stayed either the same or within a few pounds every day it fluctuated after I ate, or showered or worked out. I was frustrated. But then I started noticing my clothes feeling baggier and looser.

Then I took some old clothes out of hiding (the skinny clothes from MANY YEARS PAST) & they were fitting and not Pulling & tugging They fit as if I walked into a store and tried them on.

So if the scale won't budge that is a good thing. That means you haven't gained anything! And you could be losing ounces and inches!!

Good Luck!!

THE THING IS I WORK 3rd SHIFT AND I AM NOT HUNGRY 90% OF THE TIME BUT I DO TRY AND EAT A LITTLE EVERYDAY LIKE TODAY FOR BREAKFAST ALL I HAD WAS A BACON BISCUIT AND THEN ABOUT 7p.m. I HAD LESS THAT 1/3 CUP GREEN BUTTER BEANS AND LESS THAN THAT WITH THE HOMEMADE MEATLOAF AND THEN AGAIN AT ABOUT 3 Am. I DID EAT LITTLE DEBBIE'S DONUTS BUT NOT MUCH SO WHAT ELSE DO I NEED TO BE DOING? SO PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!!!! COULD IT BE BECAUSE I HAD A HYSTERECTOMY? I JUST FEEL DEPRESSED BECAUSE I CAN NOT LOSE THE WEIGHT ANY SUGGESTIONS WOULD BE HELPFUL.

Thank you for these instructions - exactly the simple steps to do what I wanted.

Now, can I see this ticker on my own pages or only on a message board? I'd like to see it somewhere on my trackers I guess - that's about the only place I really do anything. - it would be an encouragement to see it tho.

thanks, toni

To get the ticker on your page and track your weight:

Point your mouse at "My trackers"
Click on Start
Immediately under "Welcome (your name)" Click on Account/Email Preferences
Click on Community Tab
Then look down the list given and Click on Signature & Ticker
Choose which Ticker you want to Show:
Weight Lost
Pounds lost
Inches lost

I chose pounds lost and put in my starting weight and my Goal Weight. The ticker shows you how much weight I have lost so far (and how much farther I have to go)

At the bottom of the page - you can choose your Ticker Icon and your Ticker background.

Make sure you scroll down to the very bottom and Save your changes!

As far as I can tell you can only choose one Ticker.

Is it a secret, this business of how to get a weight or workout time ticker? Can you have just one or the other and how to choose from among all the cool options?

Go to start and down the left hand side you will see weight tracker click on that and it will take you to where you can put in your weight and measurements.
