I thought that we could subdivide our thread a little more and have more topics within our thread. For instance, we can all report our weight losses in one thread.
Here's some suggestions for sub topics: (like our daily thread and PJ's quotes)
Weekly results: Not all of us are comfortable posting our weights but I'll be we could all post our weekly loss or gain after each weighing in.
Family stuff: news on our families.
Health reports: so many of us have health challenges
Hobbies: Just for fun stuff
Challenges: things that make it difficult for us
Rewards: how we pat ourselves on the back
Self Esteem: (this one is important to me)
Pics & Websites
You guys know what I mean? I will seriously committ to posting more in sub areas and I believe others will too. Now that our nightowl group is big again, I want to see us make more out of our thread.
Judy - I think your idea is a very good one and I for one would love to see it happen.
You pretty much covered every category too.....
Thanks for the idea and I'm looking forward to seeing some more feed back.
Judy - I think its a good idea. Go ahead and start the threads and we shall follow. We can try it anyway - and if it takes GREAT! We will find out if people like it or not - by if they post to them!!
Hey I have an idea..... how about if each one of us owls takes charge of a different thread? I'll start one and you all start one that's important to you. This way we all contribute and not one person has to do all the work?
Judygal, great idea, go for it girl. I love the idea. I think I will just stick with the main thread mostly though, it is too hard for me to post in a bunch of places. I just am really short on time lately.
I dunno Bren. I am thinking of rethinking the idea. It doesn't seem to be something that everyone wants to do so maybe we should stick to the way it is, until more people want to do it.
Don't give up on the idea just because it is not something I would be able to participate in much, I am just so stressed for time right now, 1 thread is about all I can handle right now. I think it is a wonderful idea though.
Nope I'm not a moderator and I don't have a clue how it got sticky. You couldn't pay me to be a moderator on any message board. I'm too much of a weenie to deal with it!
Ha, I figured it out, LOL Tara must have stuck it for you, Heh, Heh! I was just curious about it because I wasn't sure if anyone could do it or just moderaters. I also didn't know if you had to start the thread to stick it so I just learned something newP)
Judy - This is a good idea - but I have been busy and haven't had a chance to implement it. But if you want to do that - please do - and we will adjust accordingly!!
It's hard for me to do a lot of posting...I cannot get on during the day and I am constantly interrrupted at night...but I did always like the "owlfood" thread where we posted recipes. Maybe we could start with one on that and exercise....????
I think it is a great idea, You know, keep our main thread going and maybe have some other threads, like for recipes, exercise (maybe bring back the reluctant sneakers thread), A food journal thread. I will start some threads if you want and we can see how it goes, anyone else who can think of some other ideas go ahead and start the threads, Judy has some great ideas and I am sure others will too. We can see which ones we like as we go along. Also should we "stick" them so they don't get lost in the shuffle? That might be a good idea, what do you guys think? I will probably mainly post to the main thread because like I said I don't have much time so don't think I am rude, I will try to visit them all once in awhile.
Okay, Okay I did it, I got us started on Judygal's idea, I started owl talk #1 How does that sound for a name for our new main thread? We can always change it if anyone has any ideas, I am heading over there now.
I like what you've done Bren!!! I go off to CVS for a little while and look ...when I get back lots of new threads!!! Great job!!I will try harder to keep our nest lively!
