Here is how you can add a weight loss (or other) ticker to your signature to track your progress week to week:
1. Go to a website like
http://www.tickerfactory.com and follow the instructions to make your own ticker, you can pick which ticker ruler and slider you would like to use, fill out your starting weight, goal weight and height (if you wish to include BMI on your ticker). Make sure to remember the pin number that you use for your ticker.
2. Copy the "bb code" in its entirety.
3. On the forum, click on "My controls", and then "edit signature" from the menu on the left.
4. Paste the "bb code" into the box which says "edit your signature".
5. Voila! You can also add other things to your signature up to a total length of 500 characters.
6. When you next weigh in, you simply need to click on the ticker in your signature, which will take you back to the tickerfactory site, and then update your weight, the ticker will then be updated so you don't have to repaste the code.
EDIT: Apparently we may not be a ble to click on the ticker due to board settings. Therefore to edit your ticker, go to the tickefactory website (bookmark it when you make your ticker) and put in your password and change your weight.
