Nic brought it to my attention that she liked the 'I'm a FALL CHALLENGE participant!' line I have in my signature and thought that maybe others would like to have it as well. So I am pasting the code here in case anyone wants to use it! Now in order for the code to NOT work here in this thread, I put a SPACE at the beginning of each tag, you will have to remove each space for the code to work in your signature.

I say this because, when you click on it, it only goes to our ticker site (not a personal account or anything) and we have the url here on our forum, so there really is no need for it. However, you may want to keep your tickers clickable... I don't know of any other way, unless you 'doubled up' the letters in color.

If you can believe it, i removed the extra code to make the tickers clickable, and it was STILL too long! I did something with my wedding ticker but i'm not sure if i busted it now lol, i just realized i may have, so i probably have to fix it. hm.

Regular Posts: 375 Group: Friend Member #22 Joined: June 4, 2007 Favorite Fruit? Usually seasonal, often organic, particular love of berries Favorite Vegetable? Usually seasonal, often oven roasted, rare are the veggies I don't like (fennel) Favorite Exercise? Elliptical with my iPod and magazines... Healthy Lifestyle Goal? Be a not-top size in France in regular stores (so about a US size 10)	Is it too late to join? I've had a really bad few weeks (personal stuff, not dieting) but it's starting to be behind me. As for the dieting, I could use some accountability. I really need to work on better control of my diet (food journal) more than anything else. Exercise is tempting as a project but I know what I REALLY need to do is the food journal. How long is the challenge supposed to last?

The Fall challenge is our plan to get us to the holiday season! I think a food diary sounds like a fantastic idea. F&V lettuce, 2 apples, peach not sure if I had a number 5 today but it's been busy. I would say calorie neutral - I didn't overeat and resisted some stuff but I didn't do fab either...

Red Peppers, Cucumbers, Broccoli, Spinach Favorite Exercise? Walking, Dancing Healthy Lifestyle Goal? 141lbs	Getting back on track tomorrow. Today is day seven of the challenge and all I did this week was 1 20min walk. Now I do have to say that with the challenge I have kept the idea in my head longer that normal. What I mean is normally I think I need to get up early tomorrow and walk and then I don't think about it for another week or two. But really how good has thinking about it everyday vs twice a month really helped me. So tomorrow I will be trying again. I just need to make it a habit, but if I don't get up, I have worked it out so I can still fit in walking even after my children have woken up. But I will get up. I'm posting the link to a video that I watched early today that made me really see that I need to do this. It's qusetion number 4 if you don't want to listen to the whole video, just move your cursor to the fouth dot at the bottom of the video and click. Well I'm off to do "Spring Cleaning" in the fall. I already have 3 huge bag to go to Goodwill and a little more space. http://ronisweigh.com/2008/09/ask-roni-_v08s3-dealing-with-jealously-emotional-eating-impatience.html Good Luck to everyone as we start week two.
