Newbie

Hi, I am a newbie and can anyone tell me how to take my photos I have posted and put the latest one up for my picture when I am writing on here?  Thanks. 

Well I figured that out myself, but can't get the ticker moved over to here.

welcome to the boards! you should be able to just copy and paste the html code from the ticker into your signature.

Wow!  You've done an amazing job losing weight.  Glad to have you. Brenda

You are so kind, but I am a computer dummie, cut and paste from what to what?   The weight loss has been a blessing and a hard journey.  Some say how, I say how does anyone do it with or without surgery?  We all want the same thing.  I enjoy reading the boards here since I discovered them and am getting ready to try to hit the plastic surgeon in January for my girls.  They are tube tops going from a 48DDD to a 36D with back pain.  How do these people get the rashes that they are talking about?  I will need to show some pretty significant stuff for a lift to be approved by the insurance. As for my abdomen, that will be another time, when I have kept the weight off.  Thanks for responding and keep on doing, it all works. Patty

when you make yourself a ticker it should give you several different codes (at least it does at tickerfactory.com). just copy the html code it gives you. then on these boards click on user settings on the left side of the screen underneath forum home etc. under the signature part just paste the code you copied.

I looked at your profile.  You look terrific.  Great JOB!!!  You give hope to me....as well as probably alot of other people!!!  Thanks.

Chelsea, you are such a beautiful young woman.  I know about the knee thing, I had a total knee replacement at age 46, 6 years ago.  I use the pool for a bunch of exercises and now have started to bicycle just a bit on my new pink bike.  Maybe we could meet sometime in SA for a "healthy" lunch.... I don't live too far from Whole foods either.  I am taking Tenuate since I was 195 lbs, and lost 20 lbs in 2 months.  These are helpers to get us going.  Longterm use is discouraged, but if you can get your mind around the foods that you should eat, when you come off of the meds, the diet and exercise should be in place.  It also helps to have a buddy to share success and challenges with.  Don't stop now.  You are so young and to get healthy now is great.  Keep me in mind and keep in touch.
