Frivolous 'Ticker' Question - ThinnerTimes

Okay, for those of you who use tickers, do you start the count down from your highest weight, your consultation weight or your Date of Surgery weight?

For me, I've used my Date of Surgery Weight, but then when I peek at it in my sig at the end of my posts, I also mentally add the 11 lbs I lost from the date of my first consultation 3 months prior, which was my highest weight ever.

Given I'm 8 weeks post-op tomorrow and went five weeks with a stall

and have finally gone down 2 lbs, this is all very frivolous.. but has me curious as to what others like to use for the start on their tickers.

I use my highest weight as my starting point. I was 9 pounds less at surgery.

I don't have a ticker but my stats pre-surgery include my initial consultation weight - which just so happens was my heaviest too.

I use my initial consultation weight, which was 11 pounds more than the morning of surgery.

I use my weight just before I went for my intial consultation which was my highest and also my final decision maker.

Thanks for the replies! :-D In the grand scheme of things, it's kind of trivial, but at the same time, it makes me feel a tiny bit better when I look at what others have lost compared to me. This long supposed 'stall' I'm on isn't helping in that regard, either so it makes wanting to see those numbers *move*.. you know?
